When it comes to saving money in electric motor-driven
applications, we find that many businesses are initially sceptical about the
power of variable-speed
drives. In a world where we’re told that anything that seems too good to be
true usually is, it’s easy to dismiss a product that manufacturers say is
capable of reducing energy consumption by as much as 60 per cent.
That’s why automation company ABB has used its vast knowledge
and experience to create the EnergySave calculator, an interactive application
which allows users to compare the efficiency of their current process flow
control with a projection based on the use of variable-speed drives.
Once data such as current flow control method, motor power
and yearly running time has been entered, the EnergySave calculator presents
users with an accurate forecast of how much money and CO2 they could save
following the installation of a drive. The annual savings forecast allow users
to calculate their likely return on investment, which in many cases can be
within 12 months.
EnergySave features two modes – Basic and Advanced – which
can be selected depending on the technical information available to the user,
with the latter offering the most accurate assessment.
Discovering your potential
energy-efficiency improvement is quick, easy and free, so have a go at the EnergySave calculator here.
