PAPA Pump energy efficiency
PAPA pumps use NO expensive fuel, so do not cost the user or pollute the environment.
The pumps require minimal maintenance- therefore reducing TOTEX (or total cost over the lifetme of the product)
PAPA Pumps offer a very sustainable solution and very low life cycle costs compared to electric or diesel/ petrol pumps.
Please see graphs below which show the savings annually or over a lifetime associated with operating the PAPA pump.
* All Utility / Petrol/ Electric & Diesel prices are based on average September 2012 UK costs.
Assumptions
* All Utility / Petrol/ Electric & Diesel prices are based on average September 2012 UK costs.
Method of calculation
Combined system efficiency is based on losses that may normally occur in the overall system and not directly related to specific pump losses. These losses are due to the following and can be reduced by careful system design.
* Cable Resistance * Electric Motor Efficiency * Pump Efficiency
*Frictional Losses Through The Pipes and System
Overall system efficiency (electric pump) 50%
Overall system efficiency (diesel pump) 20%
Overall system efficiency (petrol pump) 15%
Fuel cost inflation (per annum) 15%
