The document proposes an energy savings initiative for various industrial applications. It discusses opportunities to save energy and money in motor-driven systems like fans, pumps, compressors, and conveyors by using variable frequency drives (VFDs) and premium efficient motors. Retrofitting these systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 30% while qualifying for utility rebates. A case study at Clemson University found their direct drive cooling tower solution with Baldor motor and VFD improved efficiency from 81.2% to 92.0% while lowering noise levels.

4. Energy Savings Opportunities Why is it important? Money, Lots of Money >13.5m electric motors 1Hp or greater in US industrial process operations. Industry spends >$33b annually on electricity for motor driven systems. Industrial motors system electricity accounts for 24% of all electricity sold. Our Environment Industry consumed 691b kWh in process motor driven systems plus an additional 68b kWh per year on HVAC. In the US industrial sector, 70% of all electricity consumption involves motor driven systems. 59% of this goes to pumps, fans, blowers and compressed air systems . Because we can make a difference!

6. From Motors to System Solutions In the early to mid 90’s the public and private sector focused on lighting & motor efficiency as primary means to save energy. In the past 4 years the market is shifting to more of a system solution. Some of the activities being undertaken are: Increased focus on process, system, and overall solution as means to save energy. Stronger attempt to quantify savings and present to management in financial terms. These have led towards increased use of variable speed drives and motion controls to achieve process improvements, improve quality & reduce costs. better matching of pumps & motors to the load requirements Operating equipment at optimal speeds

7. Utility & Government Sponsored Rebates Many utilities & states promote energy efficiency through rebates. Programs provide rebates for pumps, motors and / or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Example Rebates are $3-$10 per hp for Premium Efficient motors and $30-$50 per hp for VFDs. Contact your electric utility for details. Example: Duke Energy will provide following on a 20hp pump application – using one application. Pump $400 Motor 20hp x $8/hp = $160 VFD 20hp x $40/hp = $800

8. States with Rebate Programs (generally vary by electric utility) Blue = motor and/or drive program Source CEE 2007 13c/kWh 5c/kWh 6c/kWh 9c/kWh

9. Fans Typically sized for maximum flow Systems typically operate at less than designed levels Flow control is normally achieved using either an output damper or inlet guide vanes Energy savings is achieved when flow is controlled with a VFD

11. Pumps Typically sized for maximum flow with multiple levels of safety-factor added. Systems typically operate far below maximum capacity. Flow control is normally achieved using an output control (throttling) valve or bypass which routes output back to the input. Energy savings is achieved when flow is controlled with a VFD

12. Pumping Systems Efficiency Average pumping efficiency is below 40% Over 10% of pumps run below 10% efficiency Major causes: Oversized pump & system not designed to run near pump’s best efficiency point (BEP). Pump draws too much power - results in added vibration, bearings run hot with substantially reduced life, packing has short life, high rate of mechanical seal failure. Over-use of Bypass Valves & Throttling Valves Oversized valves make good process control nearly impossible. 65% of control valves <50% open, with many <30% open and 15% at startup. Finnish study of 1690 pumps at 20 process plants (Expert Systems for Diagnosis of the Condition and Performance of Centrifugal Pumps)

13. VFDs and Pumps A VFD will provide significant energy savings when: Centrifugal Pumps are operated at low flow rates Existing system has bypass control Local electricity costs are high Any one item will often provide payback within 2 years. Additional Benefits Elimination of expensive valves and valve control Reduces power surges and stress associated with across the line starting Provides accurate flow control Longer Pump and seal life Reduced wear & noise
