June 5 is observed every year as World Environment Day This year also, the HVAC&R industry all over the world rededicated itself to the cause of saving the environment.
On this occasion, we have received messages from Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India, and N. K. Ranganath, Area Managing Director, INDO Region,
Grundfos. Ravichandran Purushothaman says:
“In the current era of technological progress, sustainability has emerged as a critical element to reduce the monetary and environmental costs across industries. Awareness on the rising pollution levels and global warming has brought forward the need to reinvent existing and older technologies, which are aligned to the intensifying government standards and regulations.
“To address the rising challenges of climate change, industries and individuals need to commit towards the development and usage of sustainable technology that is energy efficient in nature, thereby reducing the harsh dependence on natural resources and reducing the overall carbon footprint across the planet. We believe that the creation of market awareness towards employing energy efficient technology and understanding of the economic benefits that companies stand to gain in the process, will bring a positive transformation towards the environment and help in engineering a better tomorrow.”

N. K. Ranganath has sent the following message: “With the rising level of pollution the world over, we at Grundfos are committed to making a significant contribution towards reducing the impact on the environment by limiting our own and helping our customers limit their CO2 emission levels. The role of pumps in the fight against pollution can be directly linked to energy consumption. Pumps account for 10% of the world’s total electrical energy consumption. Up to 90% of them are inefficient and replacing them with energy efficient pumps can save around 4% of the world’s electrical energy consumption and also reduce CO2 emissions as less power is consumed. To make a significant improvement in the reduction of power consumption and CO2 emissions is a long journey. Grundfos aims to create intelligent water handling solutions that are highly energy-efficient, use renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions.”
