Powerboss can be used on most A/C induction motors, however, in terms of energy saving there are certain applications on which better savings can be made. The most important criteria is that the motor is operating in a fixed speed application - i.e. an application where the motor cannot be slowed down. The applications that Somar consider to be the best are:
- Compressors (particularly Reciprocating Compressors)
- Refrigeration
- Air Conditioning
- Air Handling
- Escalators
- Presses
- Conveyors
- Plastic Injection Moulding Machines
- Die Cast Machines
|
- Hydraulics
- Sheet Bending Machines
- Crushers
- Granulators
- Milling Machines
- Pulping Machines
- Saws
- Cutting Machines
- Sewing Machines
- Slurry Pumps
- Variable Viscosity Pumps
|
Importantly, however kW costs savings are only part of the story. The savings and operational benefits in relation to reduced maintenance and reduced downtime are a key element in the requirement for the Powerboss solution. In many instances one saved maintenance interval will pay for Powerboss.
Somar’s customers there span a wide range of industry sectors from large multi-national corporations to small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). |
