PumpMeter
Monitoring pump data at the pump
Process Control
Technology description
The PumpMeter is a small electronic device, consisting of 2 pressure sensors and an analysis/display unit. It monitors suction pressure, discharge pressure, differential pressure and head, and analyses pump operation over time in order to identify optimization potential.
Key features
The KSB PumpMeter monitors pump operation over time in order to identify optimization potential.
Application fields
All areas where centrifugal pumps are used in a system or process.
Business case
The KSB PumpMeter in itself will not reduce CO2, but it is an easy and effective way to identify pump systems with CO2 reduction potential. Through this information we have uncovered business cases with up to 50% CO2 reduction.
CO2 impact / Energy cost reduction
See above.
Non-energy benefits
If the analysis leads to optimization of the pump system: Higher reliability and uptime, less failures and repairs, longer pump life by optimizing pump operation in order to ensure that the pump is operated within its design boundaries.
PumpMeter will also supply data for variable speed drives, eliminating the need for additional sensors.
Technology deployed by
Numerous customers. PumpMeter is a standard accessory with a number of KSB pump types.
