Fluid pumping systems — low-hanging fruit for energy savingsRoughly 20 percent of all motor-driven electrical energy usage in the U.S. is in pumping systems. Taking a whole-systems approach, rather than component approach, offers the opportunity to save up to 82 percent energy efficiency, far more than the 28 percent that may be achieved by a components approach.
