Example with varying flow over 1 year
The example below is calculated on the basis of pump
characteristics obtained from a pump data-sheet. (45
kW). The same examples of calculations can be used
in the case of fan characteristics.
The result obtained is savings in excees of 50% at the

This figure compares flow regulation via valves and
without speed control with flow regulation via a
frequency converter.

Flow distribution over 1 year
given flow distribution over a year, corresponding to
8,760 hours.
Typically, the example calculated below results in a
pay-back period of one year - depending on the price
per kWh and the price of the frequency converter.
