Introduction
This document is the first part of a series of standards describing a methodology to evaluate energy
efficiency performance of pump units, comprising the pump, the motor with or without frequency
converter, based on a non-dimensional numerical value called Energy Efficiency Index (EEI). An EEI
allows the comparison of different pump sizes and types with one common indicator. Physical
influences such as pump size, specific speed, pump unit part-load operation, motor-efficiency
characteristic and frequency converter influence are implemented into this indicator.
This standard series covers pump units which component wise can be placed on the market and
assembled into a pump unit or are placed on the market as one single product. To cover these two cases
a semi-analytical model has been developed in order to derive the EEI based on nominal data of the
components only. This case happens for example when an assembler of the components builds the
pump unit on site and consequently a product test cannot be done by for this assembler or when a
manufacturer is quoting a pump-unit which uses a combination of components not previously built.
This particular standard gives an overview of the basic concept of EEI (Clause 4), basic concepts of flow-
time profiles and reference pressure control curves, the qualification (Clause 5) of a pump unit type
regarding an EEI and the verification of EEI values (Clause 6) given for a pump unit type either by
measurement or calculation.
Specific requirements for testing, a calculation method for an EEI, the so called semi-analytical model of
a complete pump unit, specific flow-time profiles and reference control curves are given in the
subsequent parts of this standard series.
1 Scope
This document describes a methodology to evaluate energy efficiency performance of pump units based
on a non-dimensional numerical value called Energy Efficiency Index (EEI).
This document covers pump units consisting of:
— one single or several rotodynamic water pump(s), including where integrated in other products,
and driven by a motor system, consisting of an electrical motor, and either:
— a terminal box which only enables to operate the pump unit at constant motor stator frequency
and thereby (nearly) constant rotational speed, or
— a CDM (Complete Drive Module) which enables to operate the pump unit at variable rotational
speed depending on a varying demand of flow rate and/or discharge or differential pressure.
NOTE A CDM is also often called VSD (Variable Speed Drive).
Pump units as defined above are treated as extended products in respect to their energy efficiency.
