With the largest “efficiency island” compared to other similar pumps, the e-1531X and e-1532X improve overall system performance and lower life cycle costs. These three pumps are the latest additions to Bell & Gossett’s line of hydrovar X-enabled intelligent system solutions, with the pumps specifically designed to minimize energy consumption while maintaining peak performance and extending their lifecycle.

Jennifer Freres, global product manager, Centrifugal Pumps, remarked:

At Bell & Gossett, we’re fully committed to advancing both efficiency and sustainability through innovative products and fostering greener solutions. The e-1531X, e-1532X and e-80SCX Smart Pumps are all about saving energy, boosting efficiency across a wide range of conditions and doing it without sacrificing reliability or performance.

Key features and benefits of the e-1531X (footless volute), e-1532X (footed volute) and e-80SCX Smart Pumps:

  • Built-in application software makes the drive one of the easiest to commission, program and operate.
  • No rare earth materials are used, to minimize product availability challenges and address environmental concerns.
  • Advanced system controls (up to eight pumps) are customizable for a wide range of applications.
  • Integrated functions provide protection for the pump and motor while optimizing performance.
  • VFD and/or motor can be easily replaced individually, minimizing downtime and expensive repair.
  • The hydrovar X solutions feature the right combination of motors, variable speed drives and pumps to ensure great performance and a rapid return on investment (ROI) in nearly any application.
  • The hydrovar X Smart Motor offers higher performance with a reduced footprint when compared to the legacy generation hydrovar solution.
  • Increased performance reduces electricity consumption and lowers life cycle costs.
  • Motor design eliminates the need for additional wiring, labor and associated costs for the line of hydrovar X-enabled smart pumps.
