Precise and fast temperature control is vital for many industrial processes but to ensure optimal temperature control at all times while saving energy, you need efficient and smart temperature control.
Grundfos iSOLUTIONS is a holistic systems approach, which uses intelligent technology to adapt precisely to deliver optimal performance, total energy efficiency and ultimate reliability.
Unlike other pump manufacturers, Grundfos develops all technology and components specifically for pumping. This way, Grundfos iSOLUTIONS can offer solutions tailored perfectly to the pump task at hand, leading to less downtime and failure rates. In other words, ultimate reliability.
Grundfos’ innovative controllers, integrated frequency converters and silent-running variable-speed pumps help increase the reliability, comfort and energy efficiency of heating, cooling and refrigeration systems – while reducing complexity and saving operational costs.
With Grundfos iSOLUTIONS, operators get a solution that looks beyond individual components and optimises the entire cooling system. By combining intelligent pumps, cloud connectivity and digital services, users get plug-and-play solutions that connect to almost any monitoring system and deliver actionable data insights.

Whisky producer saves 40 per cent energy
At William Grant & Sons’ Girvan whisky distillery in Scotland, there’s a high demand for steam. Due to poor control of the boiler feed valves, Grant’s was having maintenance problems and varying steam quality. The control issues not only created huge inefficiencies but also headaches for the plant operators who were trimming and maintaining the boilers.
After attending a Grundfos event, the solution was clear: Grundfos iSOLUTIONS.
The new solution has helped the company increase energy efficiency and reduce gas usage. At the same time, steam quality and control of level are better and Grant’s experiences reduced failure rates.
The new pump can deliver more than the boiler needs and Grant’s no longer has flooding and cooling issues of the boiler.
On boiler gas usage alone, initial analyses showed savings of 1.4 per cent on low-fire, all the way up to six per cent. The company has also seen 40 per cent energy savings on one pump alone, which equates to approximately AUD$9,155
a year.
A positive knock-on effect is that the new pump is smaller than the old pump – meaning spares are cheaper.
