Unlocking Hidden Energy Savings with Variable Speed Drives (VSDS) in HVAC Systems
THURSDAY 5TH DECEMBER 2024 @ 15:00 - 16:00 HRS UK TIME
VIRTUAL WEBINAR / ZOOM
Presented by Tim Skell and Scott Birchell from the Global HVACR Application Engineering Management team at ABB
Join the UKAEE for the next webinar in our series, an informative session that delves into the powerful role of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) in optimising Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) systems. This webinar will guide you through not only the well-known energy-saving potential of VSDs but also their lesser-known capabilities in sub-metering and energy tracking.
Whether you're managing new or aging equipment, this session will provide practical insights on how VSDs and motor upgrades can significantly reduce energy consumption, offering solutions to maximise efficiency without the need for large-scale capital investments.
WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Energy Savings with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) in HVACR Applications
Introduction to VSDs and their critical role in controlling the speed of pumps and fans to achieve desired flow or pressure.
Discover how VSDs provide significant energy savings based on the Affinity Laws by reducing pump and fan speeds.
2. Beyond Energy Savings: The Hidden Benefits of VSDs
Explore how VSDs can also be used for sub-metering and energy tracking within facilities.
Learn about the built-in counters, calculators, and meters, and how to leverage this data when integrating VSDs into building automation systems.
3. Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Outdated HVACR Equipment
Review opportunities to upgrade older, inefficient motors that operate direct-on-line.
Learn about the benefits of replacing older motors with newer technologies, such as upgrading from IE3 to IE5 motors, and how these improvements can drastically reduce energy consumption.
4. Practical Tools for Estimating Energy Savings
Get insights into available tools for estimating energy savings, whether through motor-only upgrades or full VSD retrofits.
Learn how to apply these tools to evaluate potential energy savings across different applications.
5. Real-World Success Stories:
Hear examples of how organisations have successfully retrofitted their HVACR systems with VSDs to achieve significant energy savings and improve operational efficiency.
Don't Miss Out! Join us for this in-depth look at how VSDs can unlock hidden energy savings and help your facility meet its energy efficiency goals. This is a must-attend webinar for anyone looking to maximise the energy efficiency of their HVAC systems.
