A variable speed drive adjusts motor frequency in response to system pressure, reducing power consumption in direct proportion to speed reduction. A 20% speed reduction saves roughly 50% energy due to the affinity laws. We audit your system, find the waste, and recommend solutions that typically pay for themselves within two years.
