Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used by a system. It is defined as the ratio of real power (measured in kilowatts, kW) to apparent power (measured in kilovolt-amperes, kVA). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Pumps are essential components in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, playing a crucial role in maintaining optimal temperature levels and ensuring efficient operation. These pumps are responsible for circulating the system fluid, facilitating the transfer of heat and enabling the cooling process. By continuously moving the fluid, pumps help transfer heat from the indoor environment to the outside, thereby maintaining comfortable temperatures indoors.

As Umair Irfan of Vox media writes in a recent article: The Air Conditioning Paradox, in an environment of more frequent and more dangerous heat waves, “the tactics for cooling can end up worsening the very problem they’re trying to solve if they draw on fossil fuels, or leak refrigerants that are potent heat-trapping gases. And the people who stand to experience the most extreme heat are often those least able to cool off.”
