How to Save Energy in Industry

How to SAVE ENERGY in Industry It's so important that we put our energy into saving energy in an industrial environment. It's our responsibility to protect the environment around us and cease from contributing to the terrible effects of global warming. Make heating and cooling more efficient Optimise supply voltage Invest in efficient heating, refrigeration and air conditioning systems because heating and cooling accounts for 20 40% of a building's energy consumption. Optimise to 225V or 220V which could save up to 15 % in consumption. Also tap down or replace transformers where electricity enters the building. Opt for energy-efficient lighting Make processes more efficient Don't skimp on price when it comes to installing commercial lighting. Invest in the best technology that gives a high performance with minimal consumption. Try to schedule processes intelligently to reduce standby time and changeovers. A novel process configuration could also be beneficial. Invest in intelligent controls Use high efficiency motors Install a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) to save up to 30% of consumption. Manage its time clock schedules effectively. Electric motors consume the most energy overall. Modern motors are the most efficient and worth the price. Also try Variable Speed Drives (VSDS).
