centrifugal pump needs five stages in series, a single- stage Radiax (1 x 6-in) is sufficient. Te Radiax can be used for these wide-ranging performance variations because the efficiency of a conventional pump falls once it is used outside its operating point. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Radiax
pump remains high within the entire operating area. Radiax: unique, programmable menu-driven performance based on the advanced performance curves. Te Radiax pump can reduce energy consumption by up to 45 per cent, the weight up to 80 per cent and the size by as much as 95 per cent!
Defining the limit as standard
Safe, fast, explosion-proof AUMA offer a comprehensive range of actuator and gearbox types combined with suitable actuator controls backed by global approval and certifi cation for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres or areas subject to fi re hazards. ■

Summary Te use of innovative equipment, which is available and which has proved itself in other fields of activity can achieve substantial savings in the cooling and heating of industrial applications: savings in weight and the corresponding reduction in size of the equipment, improved ease and safety of maintenance and a reduction in energy consumption. Tere is still time to apply these solutions
before 2020 and indeed, government can play a stimulating role based on the principle: apply the best technology available. Sustainability is high on everybody’s agenda. Te various economic motives have been demonstrated here, but above all, there’s money to be earned, especially in operational terms. ●
