Software estimate how much energy and money can be saved
 The Predictor software contains an Emissions Calculation Module, which will measure and graph exactly how much less CO2 is being released. |
Have you ever wondered whether it was worth it or a smart move to buy a new or retrofit to upgrade to a variable frequency drive? The new Industrial Energy Savings Predictor now offered by Yaskawa is innovative software that allows figures out just how much energy and money can be saved by installing and using a Yaskawa variable frequency drive (VFD). According to the company, features include:
- Adding a VFD to an industrial system can save a great deal of money today and in the future. The Predictor can show how long it will take to pay off the initial investment, and the savings will quickly outweigh the VFDs original cost. In most instances, the payback time can be less than 24 months.
- Using a VFD rather than a conventional flow control method can greatly reduce the CO2 emissions released. The Predictor software contains an Emissions Calculation Module, which will measure and graph exactly how much less CO2 is being released.
- The savings software contains a Project Management Module, which allows the user to create actual projects. It has the ability to examine and figure out various system types and sizes including those of fans, pumps and cooling towers.
- The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of Yaskawa drives is measured in decades for reliability.
- The program can also help determine the duty cycle of a system, the power required to run it and the energy that it is using in the process.
- The Predictor software allows users to compare the current system with that of a drive system and see the difference to customize a system that will suit specific needs and wants.
- With the help of the Project Start-up Wizard and the Advanced Report Generator Module, this software is easy to use. This allows users to view, print, e-mail or export the final report that includes all sorts of graphs to analyze the various savings.
- Also included within the predictor software are electronic copies of literature for each of the products being used. This will provide the user with more valuable information about the specifics of the product.
