British Airways (BA) has incorporated
Schneider Electric's Altivar 61
variable speed drives (VSDs) into the
condenser water pump system at its
Flight Training facilities at Heathrow
Airport. The solution has resulted in a
significant saving for the business
while helping to overcome
operational difficulties on the system.
Schneider Electric originally loaned British Airways and EMCOR an Altivar 61 VSD to test its performance and prove the return on investment it would deliver. BA was so impressed that it then took the decision to install drives on two star delta pumps, and with Schneider Electric's assistance they now operate at 12kW each, compared to 90kW previously.
