5.3 Ecodesign
Product information according to Regulation 547/2012 and Directive 2009/125/EC ”Ecodesign Directive” (water
pumps with maximum shaft power rating of 150 kW, applies only to water pumps marked with the Minimum
E󰀩ciency Index MEI, see pump nameplate):
• Minimum E󰀩ciency Index: see nameplate, legend for nameplate. See Table 1, “Nameplate description”.
• The reference value MEI of a water pump with the best e󰀩ciency is 0.70.
• Year built: see nameplate, legend for nameplate. See Table1, “Nameplate description”.
• Manufacturer’s name or trademark, o󰀩cial registration number and place of production: See manual or order
documentation.
• Information about type and size of the item: see Table 1, “Nameplate description”.
• Performance curves of the pump, including e󰀩ciency characteristics: see documented curve.
• The e󰀩ciency of a pump with a corrected impeller is usually lower than that of a pump impeller with a full
diameter. A pump with a corrected impeller is adapted to a certain duty point, thereby reducing the energy
consumption. Minimum E󰀩ciency Index (MEI) refers to the full impeller diameter.
• The operation of this water pump at di󰀨erent operating points can be more e󰀩cient and more economical
when it is controlled, for example using a variable speed controller which adjusts the pump operation to the
system.
• Information for disassembly, recycling or disposal after the nal shutdown: see sub chapter 4.5.2,
“Dismantling”.
• Information about the e󰀩ciency reference value or MEI = 0.7 (0.4) benchmark index for the pump on the basis
of the pattern in the picture, please visit: http://www.europump.org/e󰀩ciencycharts.
5.4 Intended use
VMS pumps are suited for the transport and increase of pressure of cold and hot water without wear to parts
when used within the indicated working range. The transport of liquids with a di󰀨erent viscosity or density than
water is possible as well. Please take into account the possible adjusted motor power which might be required
for this. Ask Sulzer or your distributor for advice.
