A Combustion Analyzer so reliable Time For A Transplant? WE GAVE IT A 4-YEAR WARRANTY What kind of results can you expect? If your motors are 10 or more years old, number at least 20 motors of 5 hp and above, and operate from 10 to 12 hrs a day, you could save several thousand dollars a year. Typically, in the average y l g motor audit, approximately 10% of the motors are f o sr candidates for immediate replacement and 50% are d t p t candidates for replacement at failure. NEW YORK STATE ENERGY USAGE According to the 2004 Annual Survey of Manufacturers there are 433,868 industrial firms in New York State employing 7,416,680 people. The industrial sector accounts for 16% of New York State’s total energy consumption and is illustrated by Figure 3. Higher efficiency NEMA Premium class motors are typically more expensive than their lesser efficient counterparts. Facility managers and purchasing departments buy the lower first cost motors, unaware of the dramatic energy and cost savings possible. In fact, the small incremental cost difference is typically overcome in as little as 18 to 24 months, with continued savings extending for the 15- to 20-yr life of such motors. NYSERDA offers customer incentives on qualifying NEMA Premium motors to help offset this first cost barrier. For example, the program audited 93 motors at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo and discovered that 38 of the motors met the financial requirements to be candidates for immediate replacement with a NEMA Premium motor. Additionally, 42 motors were candidates to be replaced with a NEMA Premium motor when they failed. If all the recommendations are followed, Roswell Park could save more than 3 million kWh or $256,620 over 10 years. GET WITH THE PROGRAM It is very easy to participate in the program and examine your motor inventory. Representatives accompany motor vendors on sales calls to endusers to explain the New York Energy $mart Program, including the various incentives available to them, such as a free motor audit. The motor vendor and enduser provide the manpower to perform the audit. Based on the enduser’s business case and custom variables, the program representative uses various software tools to provide the analysis and generate two reports. The first report lists the motors that are candidates to be replaced immediately with NEMA Premium motors. The second report lists the motors that are candidates to be replaced at failure with NEMA Premium motors. Both reports provide the anticipated energy savings on a motor-by-motor basis. The enduser also receives a copy of the DOE’s MotorMaster+ software, which has their database already new! testo 330-2 LL With Advanced Sensor Technology The testo 330-2LL combines advanced sensor technology with rugged electronics and advanced user operation for the new generation of combustion analysis.
