By optimizing the operation of the vacuum pump with the help of data collected by OTTO, unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced.
Busch created an algorithm to detect which pumps in the installed based can benefit on receiving a VSD (Variable Speed Drive / Frequency Inverter) retrofit.
A VSD adjusts the pump's motor speed to match actual demand rather than running at full power all the time, this can reduce energy consumption by 30–70%, depending on the process and duty cycle.
