This dairy vacuum pump VSD analyzer has been designed to provide farms with a simple tool to estimate the energy use from a milking pump, as well as the savings to be expected from adding a variable speed drive (VSD).  Once information is entered, the analyzer will automatically calculate the energy use and cost associated with both the current system and the savings expected from adding a VSD.
