Reduces costs by 70%
February 1st 2008 At a block of managed business
premises in Monmouthshire,
Wales, the installation of two
ABB variable speed drives has
reduced the running cost of the
air handling unit from £180 to
just £50 a week. This is set to save
over £6,000 annually, reducing
CO2 emissions by 12 tonnes per
year. ABB Drives Alliance partner
APDS installed two new ABB
drives, a 22kW drive on the supply
fan and a 15kW drive on the air
extract fan.
Running the unit according to
demand and taking account of
the reduced occupancy, the ABB
drives have brought energy costs
down by 70%. More articles from ABB Ltd (Drives & Motors): |
