New Research Focuses on Measuring Energy Efficiency
A study conducted over a six year period by the San Diego Regional Energy Office, a state-funded non-profit organization promoting energy efficiency and available online from HPAC Engineering magazine illustrates the challenges of understanding, measuring and managing energy efficiency solutions. The study performed more than 300 central-plant energy assessments, detailed measurement and verification analyses and energy simulations to determine that chiller plants are wasting a lot of energy. By extending all-variable-speed principles to chilled-water plants, substantial energy savings (over 60 percent, in some cases) can be achieved.

The article discusses ongoing studies of chilled-water plants in Southern California and compares a wide range of central-plant types to identify potential areas to improve energy efficiency. You can read the article at www.hpac.com, it is entitled Real Efficiencies of Central Plants.

Schneider Electric's understands the impact that variable frequency drives can have on your operation and has developed the most complete line of drives to meet your every installation need. Our AltivarŪ 21, 31 and 61 drives are ideal for panel installations and the S-Flex and E-Flex packaged drives provide complete solutions in an enclosed, NEMA rated package with support for all components coming directly from the original manufacturer.

WEFTEC Trade Show
Stop by the Schneider Electric booth (#1431) at the WEFTEC (The Water Quality) Event in San Diego from October 13 - 17, 2007. Representative will be there to demonstrate the pivotal role pumps play throughout a Water & Wastewater facility both inside and outside the fence.
