Savings on a roll July 1st 2008 Installation of a Metacentre
intelligent compressed air
management system from
EnergAir, has resulted in energy
use being cut by 46% at the Trinity
Mirror Group print works in Oldham.
This translates into savings of more
than £115 000 per annum.
The system constantly monitors
pressure and demand in the system
and, using software that 'learns'
from previous events, makes
decisions about the optimum
combination of compressors to use
to maximise overall efficiency.
By dynamically changing the
lead compressor in the Trinity Mirror
installation, the Metacentre control
can ensure the VSD unit is always
able to fine tune air production to
meet demand, while minimising the
number of costly on/off events
undertaken by other compressors in
the suite. More articles from EnergAir Solutions Ltd.: |
