Unidrive M Energy Savings
Why is this important? Some Data: Money, Lots of Money >13.5m electric motors 1Hp or greater installed in US industrial process operations. Industry spends >$33b annually on electricity for electric motor driven systems. Industrial motors system electricity accounts for 24% of all electricity sold in 1994. 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. 2000 large plants account for 35% of total industrial motor energy consumption. (Chemical, Paper, Mining, Metals) Global Competition US energy consumption is 60% higher per person than our European competitors Source: Department Of Energy Slide 2

Energy Savings Opportunities by Type of Load Variable Torque loads offer the greatest potential for Energy Savings due to inherent operating characteristics Load torque (increases) with speed. Centrifugal Fans & Pumps Some Constant Torque & Constant Power loads offer energy savings but are typically implemented to improve the process and reduce a wide range of costs Conveyors, Positive Displacement & Reciprocating Pumps & Compressors, Web Handling, Production Machinery Slide 4 4
Introduction How do AC Variable Speed Drives Save Energy? Slide 5
Variable Torque Loads Load requires much lower power at low speeds than at high speeds. Fan and Pump loads obey the AFFINITY LAWS. Volume Flow is proportional to the speed. Pressure is proportional to the speed squared. Power is proportional to the speed cubed. Audible noise is proportional to speed to the 5 th power. Therefore, if the speed can be reduced, the opportunity for energy savings is great. Slide 6

Pumps Typically sized for maximum flow Systems typically operate at less than designed levels Flow control is normally achieved using an output control valve Centrifugal Pumps will be considered Slide 16
Pumping Systems Efficiency Average pumping efficiency is below 40% Over 10% of pumps run below 10% efficiency 70% is a typical design efficiency for a pump 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.

Overhauling Loads In some constant torque applications, process tension differences, downhill loads, or machine inertia may cause the driven machine to overhaul the drive motor In these cases the motor must provide hold-back torque to brake the load Historically this has been done with mechanical brakes, braking resistors or DC regenerative drives There are two energy savings solutions available with Unidrive M Slide 25
