44 Pump Energy Des. HP = GPM X Head 3960 X Pump Eff Des. kw = HP X Motor Eff X VSD Eff

45 Variable Speed CHW Pumps Good Savings on Pump Energy Chiller energy Unaffected Maintain Tube Water Velocity 1.5 to 12 fps (Flooded 2P 45, 3P 67 max) Set Proper Ramp Function Time for VSD (5% to 30% per min 10% is typical)
