Why VFDs?

  • Do you have AC electric motors in your facility?
  • Do these electric motors need a variable output?
  • Do you use mechanical means to vary the output?

If you answered yes to these questions, you need to install variable frequency drives on these AC electric motors. Otherwise, you are wasting energy and money.

  • In the United States 50% of the total electrical energy generated is consumed by rotating equipment.
  • 65% of this total is consumed by centrifugal or flow related applications such as fans, blowers, compressors, and pumps according to current estimates.
  • Variable speed drive technology offers a cost-effective method to match driven speed to load demands and presents a state-of-the-art opportunity to reduce operating costs and improve overall productivity.

There are several benefits of using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in various industrial and commercial applications, including:

  1. Energy Efficiency: VFDs can regulate the speed of an AC motor, reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency.
  2. Improved Process Control: VFDs provide precise control over motor speed and torque, enabling more accurate process control and improved product quality.
  3. Extended Equipment Life: VFDs can reduce mechanical stress on equipment, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
  4. Enhanced Productivity: By controlling motor speed, VFDs can optimize production processes, increasing productivity and reducing downtime.
  5. Reduced Maintenance: VFDs can help reduce maintenance costs by extending the life of equipment and reducing the frequency of repairs.
  6. Increased Flexibility: VFDs can easily adjust motor speed and torque, making them well suited for applications where frequent process changes are required.
  7. Better Process Monitoring: VFDs can provide real-time monitoring and data analysis, allowing for improved process management and decision-making.

In this economic climate you need to get the most for your buck. This is the time to make those improvements you need to save energy, cut costs & stay competitive. Waiting only costs you money. Contact Joliet Technologies today.

Many utilities are now offering rebates for the installation of VFD’s or retro-fitting existing equipment with variable frequency drives. Contact your local utility or search VFD rebate or go to the DSIRE website or EnergyBot.com website, a couple of comprehensive sources of information on state, local, utility and federal incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.
