HVAC generally consumes the largest proportion of energy in commercial buildings, typically accounting for around 40 per cent of total building consumption and around 70 per cent of base building electricity consumption. Here, we look at some of the ways pumping systems for HVAC services can be optimised.

The introduction of AS ISO9906: 2018 has opened the Australian pump industry to a wider range of pump test acceptance tolerances that may be requested by a purchaser. This article continues on from the discussion in part one, and will look briefly at the relation between the various acceptance tolerances, pump system application, pump delivery lead times and energy consumption.

Pump seal failure and leakage is one of the most common reasons for pump downtime, and can be caused by a number of factors. To avoid pump seal leakage and failure, it is important to understand the problem, identify the fault, and ensure that future seals don’t cause further pump damage and maintenance costs. Here, we look at the top reasons pump seals fail and what you can do to avoid them.

Since Reef HQ opened in 1987, the aggressive tropical environment of the region and the stress of holding in excess of four million litres of saltwater have impacted the facility, resulting in the need for a major refurbishment and upgrade of aging infrastructure to ensure optimal operation. Pump Industry spoke to Reef HQ Aquarium about the redevelopment and upgrades.

When a water treatment plant is decades older than the local government area that it services, it is bound to experience some aches and pains that result in a lower drinking water quality. This was the case for Forbes Shire Council’s water treatment plant, with equipment reaching the end of useful life or not working as efficiently, and continual breakdowns requiring maintenance.
