Long-term Education/Certification Vision
18

Significantly expand the availability of education and training for
pump systems professionals to support DOE’s goal of reducing
industrial energy intensity by 25%

Create a certification program that includes skills for new “Green
Jobs” in optimizing pumping systems for energy savings and
pump systems efficiency

Identify key engineering schools to collaborate and expand the
knowledge base in graduate level mechanical engineering
programs

Build relationships with ABET-accredited mechanical engineering
schools and work towards the inclusion of a comprehensive
pumps & pumping systems curriculum at the graduate level
HI Vibration Committee Plans
19

The use of variable speed driven pumps increased dramatically,
and as a result there has been a corresponding increase in the
incidence of resonance and vibration related issues.

Techniques used to analyze pumps/motors to prevent resonance
and vibration related issues have also advanced dramatically.

Absence of industry standards/guidelines for determining RCF

New HI Dynamics of Pumping Machinery planned to fill that need

End users have urged HI to develop vibration acceptance criteria for
vertical pump-motor structures based on measurements near the top of
the motor for vertical pump-motor structures (e.g. Vibration acceptance
criteria)

Hydraulic Institute’s RCF Plan of Action

21
Pump manufacturers need more accurate motor RCF information; actual
RCF values vary greatly vs. stated values

Present NEMA MG 1 requirements regarding determination of motor RCF
provide a broad latitude to the motor OEMs, with no defined method to
determine the RCF

Improvements in motor design to increase efficiency have created taller
thinner motors that are vulnerable to resonance problems, with no
commensurate effort to avoid such problems

Given the impact that HI's work has on NEMA's members, HI plans to
develop solutions to address these issues working with the motor OEMs
who are HI Associate members and members of the NEMA motor section

Promote Energy Efficiency: NAM Agenda
24
Energy efficiency upgrades provide the most immediate economic
relief for industry and consumers by reducing costs through
improvements of existing technologies and processes and should
therefore be a high priority for policy makers working for an
expedited economic recovery. NAM supports:

Full funding of existing provisions that encourage the development of &
investments in energy efficient equipment, buildings, vehicles & processes.

Incentives and grants for energy efficiency upgrades for homes, including
the weatherization program, commercial buildings, including the Net-Zero
Energy Commercial Building Initiative, public buildings, schools, vehicles,
and manufacturing processes, including systems and plant optimization for
energy efficiency.
Promote Energy Efficiency: NAM Agenda
25
Promoting Energy Efficiency, NAM supports:

Investment in technology such as Combined Heat and Power systems,
advanced ventilation and air conditioning systems, pump/motor systems
assessments and optimization, and system-level building automation
and control systems to improve efficiency.

Programs, education, and training that are specifically designed for the
industrial sector to achieve higher energy efficiency goals, including
DOE’s Industrial Technologies Program.

Fund partnerships, including private sector initiatives, and programs to
support development of, and education and training to, industry
competencies and skills standards.
NEMA, HI and Pump Systems Matter
