No matter what business you’re in, reducing energy
consumption is essential both as a cost-cutting measure and to satisfy
government legislation. There are a great number of ways in which you can save
energy, but if there’s one area to focus on first and foremost, it’s electric
motors.
It’s estimated that 300 million electric motors are used in
industry, infrastructure and buildings, accounting for 40% of global energy
use. Fans, pumps, mixers, conveyors and air conditioners are just some of the
devices driven by electric
motors, so this the first area you should look at for energy savings.
New EU regulations introduced in January mean that all 7.5 –
375 kW electric motors entering the market must now be rated at IE3, or IE2 if
coupled with a variable-speed drive. However, rather than order a motor with
the bare minimum rating in order to squeeze through legislation, consider
investing in the most efficient model you can. A new IE3 motor can pay for
itself in energy savings within a matter of months, so contact Gibbons for
prices on our high-performance motors for industrial and commercial
applications including HVAC
systems. If you’re not convinced about the potential to reduce the carbon
footprint of your building or process, we can carry out a comprehensive energy
audit to highlight the achievable savings.
For more information on how we can help you save money on your
electric motors, call Paul Scott on 01621 868138 or email paul.scott@gibbonsgroup.co.uk.
