Vacuum Pump Motor Retrofit – Energy Saving Case Study

 

In this energy-saving project, a vacuum pump originally driven by an asynchronous motor was retrofitted with a Ciitto Servo permanent magnet synchronous motor. The objective was to reduce operating power consumption while maintaining consistent load performance.

Summary

Before: Asynchronous motor average power: 3.4 kW
After: Synchronous motor average power: 2.9 kW
This retrofit achieved an average operating power reduction of approximately 14.7%, while improving energy efficiency and performance consistency.
