Calculate life cycle costs, payback period and savings potential of pumps quickly and easily online
Electric motors are responsible for approximately 30 per cent of electricity consumption worldwide and pumps alone account for up to 10 per cent. But how efficient are different kinds of pump systems in reality and is it possible to improve efficiency and save energy at the same time? With the Herborner Pumpenfabrik online Life Cycle Cost calculator both swimming pool operators and plant manufacturers can comprehensively determine how economical their current pump system actually is. Moreover, the calculator makes it possible to compare various types of pump and thereby determine whether it is more economical to use a replacement pump in the medium term in certain cases.
In order to comprehensively assess whether a pump or a pump system is economical, it is first necessary to calculate the total cost incurred over the life cycle of the product. It is not sufficient to look merely at the purchase and installation costs, but also at the running costs, maintenance and repair costs, the production downtime and decommissioning costs as well as the environmental and also the energy costs, which constitute the largest factor of all in most cases.
“Particularly when it comes to pumps, an LCC calculation really makes sense,” says Sascha Korupp, Technical Director at Herborner Pumpenfabrik. “Pumps have a relatively long service life. The proportion of costs spent on energy for many widely used products can prove to be immense when looked at more closely. This is where our LCC calculator is helpful in making a realistic estimate with a minimum of effort.“
With its online LCC calculator, Herborner Pumpenfabrik provides its customers with a highly useful tool for determining the true economy of pump systems, comprehensively taking account of all possible operating conditions and thus the total cost of ownership from purchasing the pump right up to the end of its life cycle. The calculator enables customers to compare two pumps directly with each other, thus making it far easier to select the right pump for the required application. For instance, with an operating time of 8,000 hours per year, an energy-efficient swimming pool water circulation pump featuring PM motor technology already pays for itself in less than 18 months. With a realistic life cycle of at least 15-20 years, the purchase represents a clear cost advantage for pool operators.
Those interested can view the LCC calculation on the company’s website and carry out comparative calculations for themselves. |
