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 Ł180 to just Ł50 a week. This is set to save over Ł6,000 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%.
