Grundfos iSOLUTIONS: an intelligent pumping system

Highlight of Grundfos iSOLUTIONS is the new MGE motor, specifically designed for variable frequency drive operation and optimised speed control of pump systems.

 Pumps consume 10 per cent of global electricity. However, most are needlessly inefficient. Grundfos is one of the global leaders in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology.

Grundfos iSOLUTIONS is a holistic system approach. Through intelligent technology it adapts precisely to system demands and delivers optimal energy efficiency, reliability and easy selection for every specific application.

Experts from Grundfos believe that for 80 per cent of all pump installations, intelligent pump systems mean large savings and can cut energy consumption by as much as half. The key to maximum efficiency is widely recognised as optimising the whole pump system and not only the pumps.

Grundfos iSOLUTIONS combines the full spectrum of the Grundfos offering, including standard and integrated pumps with controls, sensors, variable frequency drives, connectivity and software to create the ultimate intelligent solution. When combined, based on specific customer requirements, they provide the most optimal, intelligent solution on the market.

A highlight of Grundfos iSOLUTIONS is the new MGE motor, specifically designed for variable frequency drive operation and optimised speed control of pump systems. They deliver the highest energy efficiency on the market and surpass the projected IE4 standard in IEC60034-31 (CD). They are now installed as standard in Grundfos’ integrated solutions such as the CRE and CME.

Intelligent functionalities of the MGE include:
• Multi-pump function: The ability to run two pumps, one on duty, the other on standby, or, with one on duty and the other one supporting as appropriate
• Pipe filling: Function for filling the pipes without the risk of water hammering.

The company takes full responsibility from design, development and production to installation and maintenance throughout the service period of the pump system. This means that Grundfos iSOLUTIONS guarantees an intelligent solution tailored perfectly to the pump task at hand, leading to less downtime and lower failure rates.

Grundfos’ industrial solutions cater to a wide range of segments including:
• Transportation: Automobiles, tyres and aerospace
• Energy: Power, oil and gas
• Chemical and process: Chemical, process, pharma, food and beverage
• Core:  Cement, steel and mining.
