The magic formula for energy efficiency: electronic speed control

The EU issued a resolution to improve the energy efficiency in Europe by 20% and to reduce the CO2 emissions by approximately 780 million tons per year. According to industry experts the highest energy saving potential is in the range of electronic drives. In general, the high energy consumption originates from the used type of control. Many companies still use mechanic systems like dampers or inlet guide vanes to control the volume flow. In contrast, speed control has advantages over the mechanic systems regarding power engineering, control technique and noise protection.
