Main drivers
- Fan applications are widespread and are excellent candidates for energy savings using drives.
- Fans are often throttled or choked by inefficient methods.
- For example, at 80% of nominal flow, the energy consumption is 95% of nominal power with conventional installations instead of 50% with AC drives.
- But how can you know for sure if adding a drive to your fan application will make savings in line with your ROI criteria.
Energy Efficiency value proposition
- Actual energy consumption and utilization of the fan is measured using a portable meter over a 7 day period and used to calculate reliable savings resulting from the drive.
- Local incentives like capital equipment allowances for tax can be taken into account.
- A non-technical buyer can have confidence in the investment due to the guarantee of savings made in financial terms.
- The savings can be verified with a portable meter in the same way as the initial study.
