Existing control method Existing Control Method Pick the existing control method that you want to compare with ABB AC Drive control. The control method is selected from the drop-down list on the upper left part of the sheet. The options are throttling, on/off control, and hydraulic control. - Page 8 Operating profile Annual running time In other words, this is the total operating time per year (h). Enter the estimated number of hours that the pump is expected to run during a year’s time. For 24 hour, 365-day operation, enter 8760 hours. Operating Time at Different Flow Rates (%) Enter the estimated time as a percentage of the total operating time for operation at each of the listed flow rates from 100% to 20% of nominal volume...
- Page 9 Energy & environmental Energy Consumed – graph (kWh) The calculated energy used annually with the existing control method and using a frequency converter for flow control are both illustrated in two-column chart. Saving percentage % The reduction in electricity costs in percents. This is also, of course, the energy saving in percents.

System data Liquid density, (lb/ft³) Enter the density of the liquid at the pump inlet in pounds per cubic feet. The density of water is 62.4 lb/ft³ (default value). Static head (ft) Motor Data Nominal Power, (Hp) Drive Data Nominal Efficiency, Based on motor power and voltage, PumpSave suggests appropriate drive type to be used. - Page 12 5 — Explanation of Calculations In this chapter, the formulas behind PumpSave calculations are presented. The formulas use metric units. If the user enters the data in US units, PumpSave converts it to metric units first. The conversion factors are given in the end of this manual.
- Page 13 In the calculation sheets, calculations are at single points for Q = 20% to 100% of nominal pump flow Qn. Q is the actual flow. H is the total dynamic head at flow Q. The efficiency figures are multiplied with k-factors witch take into account operating conditions with some accuracy.
