Building energy savings into your process

u003cpu003eDid you know that compressed air generation can amount to over u003cstrongu003e40%u003c/strongu003e of a plant’s total electricity bill? And that energy consumption can account for over u003cstrongu003e80%u003c/strongu003e of a compressor’s lifecycle cost? For businesses serious about increasing their profits, energy consumption is an obvious target. It was therefore one of the leading design priorities for our ZT 30-50 VSD⁺ compressors.u003c/pu003e

Today, we offer the widest range of integrated VSD compressors on the market.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eVSD technology automatically adjusts the motor speed to air demand, reducing energy consumption by up to 35%. For the ZT 30-50 VSD⁺ range, we added a specially designed NEOS inverter to constantly optimize the motor speed, and our own Permanent Magnet Motor for class-leading efficiency. u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eFeaturing dual NEOS drives, the ZT 30-50 VSD⁺ range has the widest operating range on the market. The units can operate from 28 to 100% load without wasting energy from unloaded operation, resulting in huge energy savings during periods of low to medium air demand. The dual NEOS drive system also keeps the compressor working at optimal efficiency – at any pressure – consuming less energy than a standard fixed speed machine or a VSD machine with a fixed gear ratio.u003c/pu003e

For example, timer functions can stop your machines at night and during the weekend if no compressed air is needed. Alternatively, a dual pressure band can be implemented with lower pressure settings for these periods.u003c/pu003e
