VFDs can make a big difference in optimizing pump energy consumption in cooling tower makeup

William Livoti writing in “Empowering Pumps" discusses some of the potential regulations which will force recycling of cooling water. He says that power plants need to assess their pump requirements and consider variable speed drives to reduce energy consumption. He cites the advantages when handling off peak loads. A specific example is given for the VFD saving with cooling water makeup pumps
