Electricity use and efficiency in pumping and air-handling systems.

Author(s) : LARSON E. D., NILSSON L. J.

Summary

Pumping and air handling account for a significant fraction of global electricity use. Improved efficiencies of these systems could thus play important roles in reducing future electricity supply needs. The authors describe a number of new and retrofit case studies where cost-effective percentage electricity savings as high as 50 to 75% have been identified. A key to identifying such savings is thorough and creative examination of individual systems, rather than considering generic conservation opportunities (eg efficient motors) across a broad range of applications. There are a number of institutional barriers to the implementation of these savings.
