IEN - March 2009 - (Page 22) IEN / MArCh ’09 PAgE 22 Plant Efficiency: Energy Savers Introducing energy-saving products and processes to your operation is good for the environment -- and for your bottom line. This month’s Energy Savers are as varied as a furnace that recycles used oils, a vacuum pump that reduces energy consumption, and a modular conveyor. And learn how installation of energy-efficient fluorescent lights helped ABB save $35,000 in annual energy costs, while reducing CO2, at one of its facilities–– get full details in the online version. . . . read more at www.ien.com Asset Management Heater & Furnace recycle Rated for 250,000 Btu input, Model RA-250 space heater and Model RAD-250 ductable furnace offer full swing-out door, large service panels, and maintenance/service shelf to facilitate combustion chamber and heat exchanger access. Units incorporate oil-preheating system, backflow ash/draft sensor, operation hour meter, air atomizing burner, onboard air compressor, and positive displacement fuel metering pump.

Fully wired, one-piece unit uses T5/T5HO lamps and ballasts and can be directly installed into most existing parabolic housings. Luminaire brings volumetric-type lighting to any space, delivering even light distribution and eliminating cave effect produced by parabolic luminaires. LaMar Lighting Co. Inc.: 800-724-7743 www.ieninfo.com/11224-240 or circle 240 on card provides 89% efficiency I From Office to Factory –– Lights First! n 2007, ABB’s global sustainability team requested that each ABB location reduce its energy consumption by 5%. “After doing research and finding that 40% of all fossil fuels are used to generate electricity, it seemed like lighting, which we cannot be without, was the logical place to start,” notes Jerry Ulatowski, facilities manager. ABB New Berlin began by modifying all of the office fluorescent fixtures––more than 927 units in all ––with electronic ballasts and more economical T8 fluorescent bulbs. This earned the company a $7,400 energy rebate from the local utility, and resulted in $12,000 annual savings, which are ongoing. After the process of reviewing, planning, and bidding, an extensive plan was approved to replace all the lights in the factory. “The factory has changed a lot since we moved into the building approximately 25 years ago,” says Ulatowski. “Through our ongoing Operational Excellence program, and many Kaizen and Lean events, the factory has a vastly improved layout” . . . read the full article at www.ien.com/article/ABBlighting Roller Conveyor with ABB Inc., Drives & Motors.: 262-780-3873.
