28/11/2011 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
An online and mobile estimating tool from Rockwell Automation allows plant engineers and managers to calculate savings available to them from implementing variable frequency drives to power pumps and fans.

Rockwell launches mobile energy saving calculatorsEngineers can use the online energy savings calculator or download a free mobile application to their iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or Android device.

With this new tool, users can compare conventional methods, such as valves for pump control and dampers for fan control, to harnessing variable frequency drives, and see estimated cost savings from installing Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives.

Doug Weber, business development manager for Rockwell Automation, explains that engineers and managers can either enter minimum pump or flow percentages, annual operating hours, cost per kilowatt etc for their application, or use sample data provided by Rockwell Automation built into the tool.
