GRUNDFOS Blueflux®
Advanced motor technology that reduces energy waste in pump
applications
You could be saving energy now!
Pumps are an absolute necessity wherever liquid
needs to be moved.
However, most are needlessly inefficient.
This is largely due to the motors driving the pumps. Most run continuously at their top speed regardless of
actual requirements. In reality most pump motors only need to run at their full speed 5% of the time. A
consequence of this inefficiency is that pumps today consume a full 10% of global electrical energy. It is a
surprising figure to many, and Grundfos believes it is totally unnecessary. We can all reduce it drastically
through the use of advanced motor technology.

And contrary to what many believe, this technology isn’t something the world needs to wait for.

The solution lies in high efficiency motors and variable
frequency drives.
Grundfos high efficiency motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs) have been specifically designed to
reduce energy consumption. Working alone each of these product ranges already makes a significant
difference. Working together they can save up to 60% energy in 2/3 of the cases.

Current pump consumption
10% of global electrical energy is used by pumps.
The new standard in motor efficiency
Without precisely the right motor, even the best pump will consistently waste energy. That’s why we have
developed our own Grundfos motor technology specially to drive pumps. We call it Grundfos Blueflux®. So
when you see a Grundfos Blueflux® mark on a Grundfos product, you will know you are purchasing a top of-
the-range pump motor solution.

Grundfos Blueflux® – OPTIMISED TO CUT OUT THE WASTE
Grundfos Blueflux® technology represents the best from Grundfos within energy efficient motors and
variable frequency drives (MG motors, MGE motors and CUE drives). Grundfos Blueflux® solutions either
meet or exceed legislative requirements such as the EuP IE3 grade. The first Grundfos Blueflux® solutions
are available today, and the rest will be launched periodically throughout 2011. The complete Grundfos
Blueflux® range will be available to use together with our market leading pumps by January 2012.

CHANGING SPEED FOR EVEN GREATER SAVINGS
Combining a Grundfos Blueflux® motor and VFD will in 2/3 of all applications enable the highest possible
energy savings – often up to 60%.

A Grundfos Blueflux® VFD intelligently regulates motor speed in direct response to varying system
demands. This ensures the motor never does more work than necessary, which in turn also reduces
downtime and increases the operational lifetime.

INTEGRATED FOR TOP PERFORMANCE
Grundfos Blueflux® motors and VFDs are designed to integrate perfectly with each other and both are
designed exclusively for pumps. As well as increased efficiency, this also ensures greater reliability and a
fine degree of operational control. The VFDs are programmed with Grundfos software and can come preset
and pre-attached to the motors or purchased separately. Grundfos also offers E-solutions in which the
pump, motor and VFD come fully integrated.

AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Grundfos Blueflux® already meets the requirements of global legislations on motor efficiency, notably the
third stage of the forthcoming EuP motor efficiency directive. Grundfos Blueflux® products are already as
efficient as all motors will have to be in 2017.
It’s time for everyone to make the change
Grundfos Blueflux® enables immediate and substantial savings in industrial,
commercial, public and water utility applications.
This is because so much of industrial energy consumption is waste. Thankfully intelligent advanced motor
technology provides a new and more efficient path.

By driving the market for such solutions right now, Grundfos can help the Water Utility, Industry and
Commercial and Public building sectors reap huge financial rewards and minimise their environmental
impact.

For this to happen there must be a clear awareness amongst industries that sooner is most definitely better
than later. By pre-empting future legislative changes everybody will not only be properly prepared but will
also start saving far earlier.
