Biral pumps for a better future (August 2011)

Renovation by Biral
The advantages of Biral energy pumps are
clear – such as shown in the example of the
large nursery. Firstly, replacing old heat circulation
pumps does not disrupt operations,
as the one-week renovation is carried out
after the heating period. Secondly, A-label
energy pumps demonstrate electricity savings
of 70 per cent compared to old pumps,
representing a reduction of CHF 0.18 per
kilowatt hour (kWh). Although it costs around
CHF 10,000 more to invest in highly efficient
Biral pumps, compared to the usual installations
on the market, the Biral pumps pay
for themselves in 2 years
thanks to their energy efficiency.
Thirdly, changing to
circulation pumps with EU
energy label A is a step towards
a sustainable future.
The EU guidelines stipulate
that only energy-efficient
pumps with the A-label
are to be used throughout
Europe by 2013. This will therefore contribute
to the reduction of CO2 emissions – a
factor in global warming. The heating up of
the Earth’s climate by 2 degrees Celsius in
the period between 1990 and 2020, can only
be prevented if CO2 emissions are reduced
by 30 per cent worldwide.
