June 1st 2008 Energy efficiency and overall cost
of ownership were key
considerations in the design of a
new £68m production site in
Bridgewater for Robert Wiseman
Dairies. Consulting engineer AE
Robb & Associate specified
Chalmor's long life, energy
efficient Endurance fittings for
lighting in the CIP room.
Chalmor says that as a result of
using Endurance fittings,Wiseman
is achieving around 50% energy
savings in the CIP, compared to the
high pressure sodium fittings that
were considered as an alternative,
while also halving the installed
lighting electrical load.The
company is able to extend its relamping
schedules to reduce
disruption and maintenance costs.
Endurance fittings are said to
last 60 000h before the light
sources need to be replaced. More articles from Chalmor Limited: |
