BOLGER CONCEPT TO PRINT -- Power of the Pump

The Custom Solutions Program is only available to Xcel Energy's business customers in the state of Minnesota. Other electrical companies may have similar programs, but they do vary from state to state.

In Bolger's case, it was with the Busch Merlin pump. The vane pump Bolger was using had a 71 percent efficiency rating at 9 kW opposed to a 90 percent efficiency rating at 5.5 kW for the ME3048. All Busch Merlin pumps use claw-type rotors instead of vanes for compression.
