guideline on circulating pump replacement
Introduction The purpose of this guideline is to present, in one document, the essential points that will be required to identify a less efficient pump installed in a domestic property and whether it should be upgraded to a more efficient one.
Scope Is to give adequate information to the assessor to easily identify if an installed stand alone circulating pump is of the old technology where its replacement with a product that complies with the Energy Related Product legislation displaying an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) will afford the householder energy savings that meet the Green Deal guidelines.
Identification The easiest way to identify if a circulating pump is post 2013 legislation is to check the main body of the pump for a Energy Efficiency Index ( EEI ) . Legislation came into force January 1st 2013 and required all manufacturers to identify that all stand alone pumps are at least 0.27 EEI or lower.
If the existing circulating pump does not display an EEI rating it should be considered for replacement.
Energy Savings As referenced in the 2012 SAP document Table 4f, 90 kWh/year can be saved by the householder. The energy usage for circulators is estimated as follows; - 120 kWh/year for existing pumps (pre 2013) - 30 kWh/year for new pumps (2013 onwards) Installation costs will vary from one installer to another. The time taken to replace an existing pump would be approximately 1 hour. Circulating pumps have an estimated life in excess of 10 years and typically a payback on investment of 5 years.

High Efficiency Circulating Pumps ALERT!!!
Back in January 2013 we were all waiting for the EU’s Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive to kick in and change the way circulating pumps were specified and installed forever. But would it have the desired effect? Would it make a huge dent in emissions across Europe and help the UK and other Governments to reach their, in the main, optimistic targets for energy efficiency and emissions reductions? And would everyone comply with these new regulations? You may recall that the EU Commission estimates that inefficient heating system small circulators alone are responsible for about a 20% share of household energy bills and removing them and replacing them with intelligent circulators could save several billion euros by 2020 across the 27 European member states – equivalent to the total annual electricity consumption of Ireland. The British Pump Manufacturers Association Ltd (BPMA) and its Council members including some of the top pump manufacturers such as Wilo, Grundfos, Xylem and Armstrong met with the National Measurement Office (NMO) recently to discuss how they could help to monitor the products that do not comply with the ErP regulations. The NMO are the UK Market Surveillance Authority in respect of Products in scope of the Energy Related Products Directive The new ErP Directive states that old uncontrolled pumps would need to cease being manufactured from the end of December 2012 and thereafter only the new high efficiency products would be distributed by all pump manufacturers., in compliance with the ErP regulations. However the BPMA and its members have seen a number of non-high efficiency pumps on the market and they are becoming increasingly concerned about the influx of non-Erp products imported from countries such as China. They are concerned that these pumps, although cosmetically looking like the new high efficiency models, in some cases, do not meet the requirements of the ErP regulations. In their discussions with NMO the BPMA presented a number of products which they deemed to be non-compliant. The NMO are responsible for enforcing the Energy Related Products Directive within the UK. They operate direct enforcement and this can be in the form of the education of the manufacturer through to court action if they believe that any company are ignoring the clear guidelines set out in the ErP Directive. The NMO confirmed that they were aware of concerns in regard to Circulators and informed the BPMA that they will initially be testing 20 circulators across 3 member states including the UK and also 10 water pumps across 2 member states again including the UK, to ensure that all regulations are being complied with. Accordingly, BPMA will continue to work with the NMO to monitor the situation.

“the course catered to all levels”
NEWS BYTES Pumps and Energy – did you know? Pumps are involved in nearly every aspect of modern living. They are used to move fluids such as liquids, slurries or gasses. In businesses, buildings, households and industries, pumps exist - in some form or another. They are key components in maintaining comfort levels in buildings. They deliver and distribute clean drinking water from water treatment plants throughout cities, while at the same time removing wastewater. And, they are highly present within a wide range of industries. The world depends on them, but many pumps are also serious energy wasters, leaving behind a significant carbon footprint. This is because today’s pumps account for no less than 10% of the world’s electricity consumption and because the majority of electricity is still produced using fossil fuels. Pumps and the world’s electricity consumption Today pumps account for no less than 10% of the world’s electricity consumption. • Two third of all pumps use up to 60% too much energy. • If every business switched to a high efficiency pump system there could be global savings of 4% of the total electricity consumption- comparable with the residential electricity consumption of 1 billion people. The surprising truth about pumps • Pumps currently account for 10% of the world’s total electricity consumption There is no doubt that pumps are important, but they are also a major source of energy wastage. However, with optimised pump technology available today, it is possible to reduce their electricity consumption immediately and start to reduce this figure NOW. • You cannot go through a day without using pumps Pumps are involved in all kinds of processes and everyday practices: taking a shower, drinking a cup of coffee, cooling off production equipment, ensuring the right temperature in office buildings and transporting wastewater to sewage plants. All of these routines require pumps. • Switching to energy efficient pumps could make savings equivalent to the residential electricity consumption of one billion people If every inefficient pump were replaced with one that is energy optimised, it
could result in savings of 4% of the world’s total electricity consumption. This is equal to the residential electricity consumption of one billion people • 2 out of 3 pumps are wasting energy In two thirds of pumps and pump systems currently installed, it is possible to save up to 60% energy by switching to pumps with high-efficiency motors and variable frequency drives. • In the chemical industry there are more pumps installed than there are employees A chemical industry study conducted in Germany revealed that for every employee, chemical companies had an average of 1.25 pumps installed. • Buildings today account for 40% of the world’s energy use This means that the resulting carbon emissions are greater than those from flights, trains, buses and cars combined. By optimising current pump installations in buildings this number can be significantly reduced. • On average, pump optimisation has a payback time of 1 to 5 years Needless to say, switching to energy efficient pump systems involves certain investment costs. However, as the payback time is remarkably low, you will experience considerable savings for many years to come. • More than 20% of all the power used by motors in Europe is used to drive pumps • Most pumps waste energy 95% of the time In many pump installations, the motors run at top speed, regardless of actual requirements. This means the pumps are needlessly inefficient. In fact, most pump motors only need to run at full speed for 5% of the time. So What Should You Do????

In these days of increasing legislation and litigation, plus appropriately higher health & safety considerations, the resulting red tape can tie you up in knots. In fact, it usually means lengthy meetings and long documents that need to be completed as an integral part of any engineering project. However, this all takes time and, as a result, money. In particular the completion of HazOps (Hazard and Operability) studies and Job or Task Hazard Analysis processes often result in time-consuming meetings involving many senior personnel. Also, the associated amount and cost of necessary documentation has also soared. Sundyne HMD Kontro, the pioneer of the magnetic drive pump technology, claim that their sealless pumps can save considerable time and money because the HazOps study and the resulting paperwork to be completed is much more concise. This allows engineers and other important staff to focus on other aspects of a project or similar. Because the HMD Kontro pumps are sealless, there is no risk from a leak or emission to atmosphere. Also, there is minimal ancillary equipment such as seal support systems. This significantly reduces the hazards involved and hence the time necessary for risk evaluation and assessment. In addition to quelling health and safety concerns, HMD Kontro pumps also have environmental benefits. Here the absence of any potential for leaks from the pump or support system ensures that the risk to not only staff but also the wider public and the environment is almost completely eliminated. For a free guide to the latest know how about sealless pumps, please contact HMD Kontro on +44 (0) 1323 452000. Alternatively, for further information please see their website at www.hmdkontro.com

Grundfos take the biscuit With a history dating back to 1830, the manufacturing process has dramatically changed since Robert McVitie opened his first shop in Edinburgh. Today McVitie’s are part of United Biscuits and operate from a total of five sites across the UK. At their largest site in Harlesden in London alone, they produce an incredible 23 million biscuits a day making this the largest biscuit factory in Europe A production process involving very abrasive liquids that have a very high viscosity puts pressure on the process pumps involved within the production procedure. Older traditional solutions often mean frequent leakages that require extensive maintenance work. This was the position for McVitie’s back in 2009 when the incumbent pumps were frequently experiencing leaks that required extensive repairs every 6-7 weeks. So when Grundfos Pumps initially established contact with McVitie’s and introduced them to the Grundfos NOVAlobe concept, they were very interested as they needed to find a solution to this problem. The NOVAlobe family are rotary lobe pumps that are specifically designed to provide reliable, efficient and hygienic operation even under the most demanding condition. These pumps have been designed to pump very viscose media and also meet the highest hygienic standards including achieving EHEDG accreditation. Today McVitie’s are continuing to replace pumps with Grundfos NOVAlobe pump options and the company continues to be very pleased with this pump solution.

SPP protects Europe’s tallest building SPP Pumps, leading manufacturer of centrifugal pumps and systems, knows more than most about the importance of considering fire safety and protection in large construction projects. With more than 130 years’ experience in providing critical performance pump solutions into demanding environments, SPP is an expert in overcoming the challenges faced by its customers. Alex Playfair, Business Unit Manager, Fire and Safety Divisions at SPP explains how the company went about providing fire protection solutions for Europe’s tallest building, The Shard, which recently opened its doors to the public. “There is no doubt about the fact The Shard is one of the most spectacular skyscrapers in the world. Standing at 309.6 metres tall on London Bridge’s skyline it is quite possibly the most recognised building in Europe” said Alex. As well as being a feat of modern architecture however, The Shard has a huge responsibility to play in keeping its inhabitants safe. And that is where SPP Pumps comes in to the picture. Alex continues: “This was a prestigious project win for SPP. The unusual design of the building demanded the highest performing fire safety pump sets as well as the most efficient water supplied for the whole building, and this provided a unique challenge.” While many pump manufacturers can offer equipment designed to the various locally
applicable fire rules and registrations, SPP is one of the select few who have had its sprinkler and wet rise pumps subjected to the stringent performance and reliability tests of specialist fire approved laboratories worldwide. Alex goes on: “We were aware that European Sprinkler regulations don’t allow the use of pressure reducing valves due to their unreliability, so zones had to be created to limit pressure on the sprinkler heads in lieu of the valves. “This concept had never been applied to a building over 300m before, and so we had to work with Arup (the consultant) to create a solution that produced a quality, reliable water source, at the same as satisfying the strict regulations.” For the sprinkler pumps, SPP supplied two off CD12K 10 stage pumps with seven take
off outlets to supply seven sprinkler zones in the building. The pumps were driven by 200 KW motors, and each zone has its own jockey pump to maintain pressure. Pumps for the hydrants then provided a totally different challenge. Three pump stations were installed at various levels in the building. At base level SPP supplied 2 BU06 split case pumps with 315kW motors to produce 4500 L/M at 24 Bar. The mid and high level pump houses were equipped with CD10K 4 stage pumps with 132kW motors producing 3000 L/M at 24bar. As the first company to achieve fire pump approval and listing by the internationally recognised Loss Prevention Certification Board, SPP has more pumps approved by the LPCB than any other manufacturer. Manufactured in the UK, SPP’s Pumps meet the requirements of all major international standards, particularly NFPA 20. Approved for use in many markets, including Europe, the Middle East and Africa, SPP provides world class protection technology. For more information contact SPP Pumps, Reading, Berkshire.

Atlas Copco extends breakthrough GA VSD+ compressor range up to 37kW With this strategy, Atlas Copco wants to contribute to a more sustainable industry. Koen Lauwers, Vice-President Marketing of Atlas Copco’s Industrial Air Division comments: “Since the launch of the VSD 7-15 VSD+ range, we have succeeded in selling more variable speed drive units. With the introduction of the larger GA VSD+ units (18-37 kW), we expect even more VSD sales, more Atlas Copco Compressors has extended its innovative range of GA VSD+ oil-injected screw compressors, launched in 2013, with the introduction of new models from 18-37 kW. With the expansion of the range up to 37kW, Atlas Copco is now able to offer its breakthrough VSD+ technology, which provides industry-leading energy savings of 50% on average, a 13% leap in Free Air Delivery and a canopy less than half the size of traditional fixed speed compressors, to 75% of oilinjected screw compressors users worldwide. The introduction of the GA 7-15 kW VSD+ range in 2013 led to a significant increase in the “VSD ratio”: the relative number of Variable Speed Drive units on the total number of compressors sold worldwide. With the extension of the GA VSD+ compressor range up to 37kW, Atlas Copco expects to raise this ratio even further, benefiting not only customers but also the
Available on iPhone and Android devices
environment in general thanks to the increased energy savings on offer. In addition to expanding the GA VSD+ range, Atlas Copco has also introduced its new “condensation prevention cycle” for Variable Speed Drive compressors.. Variable speed driven compressors adapt the speed of the compression element to exactly match the compressed air demand: for a standard VSD compressor, this means an energy saving of 35% on average. The new, in-house developed VSD+ takes that figure even higher: an
integrated permanent magnet motor drives the VSD+’s screw elements, realising energy savings of 50% on average, compared to fixed speed models. For more information contact Atlas Copco, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Tel: 0845 6010001 E-mail: ac.cmtuk@uk.atlascopco.com Web: www.atlascopco.co.uk

One year on from circulator legislation It is one year since legislation changed the circulator market in Europe forever. This change has meant that all glandless standalone circulators, with the exception of those specifically designed for primary circuits or thermal solar systems and heat pumps need to have an energy efficiency index (EEI) of less than 0.27. With other ever stricter changes scheduled to take place in 2015 and 2020. The Grundfos domestic circulator range delivers an energy efficiency index as low as 0.15 and runs on as little as 5W. The benefit of fitting these very efficient pumps is something which is becoming increasingly clear with recent, and seemingly ongoing, energy price hikes and the huge numbers of households now recognised as being in fuel poverty. The energy saving opportunities that these products offer have recently received an important acknowledgement, as following on from extensive and lengthy pump industry lobbying - the BRE
