Energy Optimization with Frequency Converters
Energy saving potential of variable speed control in pump, fan and conveyor applications. Euronorm Engineering application guide.
Variable speed control can dramatically reduce energy consumption compared to fixed-speed systems.
Controlling flow with throttling valves in pump and fan systems causes much of the energy supplied to the motor to convert to heat. In commissioning projects, Euronorm Engineering has observed payback periods of 12–18 months for frequency converter applications in most scenarios.
Which Applications?
- HVAC systems — Pumps and fans requiring variable flow
- Conveyor lines — Speed synchronization and soft start
- Water treatment — Energy-efficient flow control
- Material handling — Load-based speed adjustment
