Compressed Air Best Practices - March 2008 - (Page 15) Focus Industry FOOD PROCESSING | 03/08 | CO2 O kW Energy Savings at the Food Processor kWh Annually Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 1st New Blower Saved 2nd New Blower Saved 3rd New Blower Saved New VFD/Controls Saved Total Measured Savings Existing System Total New System Total Total Energy Savings as a Percentage Total Energy Savings in Capital Dollars at $.08 kWh 1,742,000 2,049,000 500,000 2,502,000 6,793,000 22,826,000 16,033,000 29.76% $543,440.00 Conclusion Expected total kWh annual savings was 6,704,000 based on HSI’s original estimate. The actual measured documented results were as follows: Total savings tested and verified was 6,293,000 kWh per year. Stage three was not part of the project, but it will save 500,000 kWh annually for a total of 6,793,000 kWh annual savings (910 hp). As a result, the food processor exceeded each of the performance evaluations recorded by and was reimbursed for nearly 75% of the capital investment. Operating at an average rpm of 3100 (instead of the constant speed of 3600) offered extended bearing life. The HSI 3100 MCP (Master Control Panel) offered automatic sequencing capabilities without operators interfacing the starting and stopping of blowers. Start-up power costs also dramatically reduced peak amp power factors when using VFDs. This was not used as additional energy savings in this project but would be in other power rebate programs.
