2010-08-18 - London Hevar 2010, 22-23rd September: ABB’s stand, 24, will feature a practical demonstration that shows the remarkable energy savings achievable using variable speed drives (VSDs) in HVAC applications.
An innovative fan based machine has been built to demonstrate the cube law theory behind the 20 to 70 percent energy savings that many buildings across London are attaining by using VSDs.
The fan machine successfully maintains a balloon at a fixed height while it demonstrates the drawbacks of regulating airflow using a mechanical damper with the motor running flat out against one which uses the variable speed drive to regulate flow.
The on-stand demo is backed up with a practical lecture by ABB’s Frank Griffiths, drives consultant engineer, that highlights examples of energy saving/improvement using existing HVAC infrastructure by applying VSDs.
Experts will be on stand to discuss all the possible ways of using variable speed drives in pump and fan applications as well as the impact of the forthcoming CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and how drives can help achieve the government’s targets.
