Hello I am Alan Jones Sales Director from APDS
We are based in Avonmouth Part of the ABB AVP network
ABB is the worlds largest electrical engineering company, At APDS we employ 13 staff
Relatively small Company however we do our bit
Recycle paper, card, Keep vehicles well maintained and we recycle electrical waste.
An award from ABB for electrical recycling from ABB for 2014
This is important to us, every little helps.
So we do our bit and we have done for years
however its what we do for others that is important
So successful in some of these that we have received awards from a national magazine
Energy efficient Installation of the month
One of our biggest savings was at SWW
Not only big companies
How do we do this
Motor applications are oversize
Manufacturers fit dampers to restrict the flow
Same as driving your car with foot to the floor and applying the brakes, not sensible so why do they do it.
Savings are to speed cubed
Remember not to go too slow pump curves and motor cooling
9% Speed reduction =25% energy reduction
Balloon demo
If you have plant that looks like any of these, or even one of these
Where do you start, the easy ones….bigger the better, long running hours.
Its easy, call us. With ABB we have developed an online energy appraisal tool, we will visit site make measurements and produce a report.
Executive summary
Annual savings
Then to confirm our findings and add confidence to you we will fit a trial drive and prove it before you commit.
