Tool determines potential savings from variable frequency drives, power pumps and fans.
Rockwell Automation has introduced a new tool that allows manufacturers to use mobile devices or computers to calculate potential savings derived from variable frequency drives to power pumps and fans. Manufacturers can use the online energy savings calculator or download the free mobile application to their iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or Android systems.
With this tool, users can compare conventional methods, such as valves for pump control and dampers for fan control, to variable frequency drives and see estimated cost savings of installing an Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drive. Users can enter the minimum pump or flow percentages, annual operating hours, cost per kilowatt and other information about their own factory, or use the sample data provided by Rockwell Automation built into the tool.
The calculators provide a comprehensive approach to meeting companies’ sustainability objectives to reduce energy waste. Now manufacturers can quickly and easily plug in information about their own systems to discover energy-savings opportunities, which is often the first step in pursuing them. The tool is part of the Rockwell Automation Intelligent Motor Control portfolio.
