Significant energy savings can be achieved by installing variable speed drives to the fans and pumps used in building services. The Schneider Electric’s (Telemechanique) Altivar (ATV) 61 has been designed to manage and monitor your building’s HVAC and pumping functions. The Altivar 61 drive reduces energy costs by adjusting motor speed to the […]
Quickly estimating the energy savings available by installing variable speed drives to motors is simple as their power consumption is governed by the cube law (see earlier article). In the example given, a 10% speed reduction saves 27% of the running cost. Energy savings calculators are also available for more complex applications, but flow applications are particularly suited to this type of […]
