European Union Pump Efficiency Regulations for
Centrifugal Pumps
CO2 is a major contributor towards the Green House Effect which refers to the
trapping of excess heat in the atmosphere leading to the melting of glaciers and other
resultant problems. Electricity production is an important source of CO2 emissions since as
much as 65% electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels which produces CO2 as a by
product.
Keeping this fact in mind the European Union is dedicated to emerging as a climate-
friendly region by cutting down power consumption. It was found that pumping equipment
especially the ones used for domestic heating, fluid transfer, municipal water, were major
electricity/power consumption agents. In fact, a preparatory study by EU Commission
Regulation says that “ water pumps are placed on the European Union market in large
quantities. Their annual electricity consumption amounted to 109 TWh in 2005,
corresponding to 50 Mt in CO2 emissions. In the absence of measures to limit this
consumption, it is predicted that energy consumption will increase to 136 TWh in 2020 .”
Thus EU has rolled out the European Union Pump Efficiency Regulations which are
applicable to Centrifugal Pumps since these pumps deal in pumping fluids and are one of
the most popular pumps for transferring fluids as opposed to positive displacement pumps
due to their cost efficiency and ease of deployment.
