Hospital water supply optimized using Optidrive Eco frequency inverter.

Rambam Academic Hospital, in Israel, required a reliable and efficient water supply system to perform various medical operations across multiple floors. The hospital faced significant challenges in ensuring uninterrupted water supply, especially during power outages, which is critical for maintaining emergency and medical care services. To address these challenges, the hospital sought a solution that would not only ensure reliable water supply, but also increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

The hospital operated with a water supply system that had only two primary water pumps. These pumps were responsible for supplying water to various medical wards and an emergency water reservoir that was used during power outages or main water supply disruptions. However, the existing situation was inadequate, especially during periods of high demand or when water supply was disrupted. The system placed a heavy load on the pumps, which had to operate at full capacity more frequently, resulting in increased energy consumption, maintenance requirements, and reliability issues.
