  • PUMP EFFICIENCY DETERMINING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD FOR DETERMINING PUMP EFFICIENCY
    Publication number: 20140379300
    Abstract: A system for measuring real time efficiency/performance of at least one pump in a plant or other facility includes a plurality of monitoring devices disposed in relation to said at least one pump to measure power usage, pump speed and flow characteristics of the at least one pump. A processing system is configured to receive input signals from the sensors in which the efficiency of the at least one pump can be calculated based on the sensor inputs in real-time. The processing system can also compare the calculated pump efficiency values with a user defined set point or threshold or compare to the expected pump performance.
    Type: Application
