Figure 2.7 When using a Adjustable frequency drive to reduce
fan capacity to 60% - more than 50% energy savings may be
obtained in typical applications.
2.7.3 Example of Energy Savings
As can be seen from the figure (the laws of propor-
tionality), the flow is controlled by changing the RPM. By
reducing the rated speed by only 20%, the flow is also
reduced by 20%. This is because the flow is directly
proportional to the RPM. The consumption of electricity,
however, is reduced by 50%.
If the system in question only needs to be able to supply a
flow corresponding to 100% a few days each year, while
the average is below 80% of the rated flow for the
remainder of the year, the amount of energy saved is even
greater than 50%.
The laws of proportionality
Figure 2.8
describes the dependence of flow, pressure and power
consumption on RPM.
