ACES
An ACES was installed on a Single-Split AC unit in a
hotel in the Northeastern Caribbean. Before and after
readings showed ACES had delivered a kWh saving of
39% with projected financial savings approaching
$700 per year!
CUES Means Profits For Business Partners.
A burger giant (one of the world’s largest hamburger franchises) with over 6000 outlets,
are keeping up with the times by cutting energy costs, vital in these difficult financial
times, and reducing their carbon footprint in the process.
The fast-food chains has been running a trial of CUES (Chilled Unit Energy Saver) on
a refrigeration unit in one of their outlets and have made substantial savings on their
energy costs.
Before CUES was installed the projected annual energy cost of the refrigerator stood
at $2,082.56 but after the install the projected annual spend dropped to $1,438.13! A
saving of $644.43 per annum.
This trial highlights that Enigin Disributors can make incredible profits with CUES.
Using the burger restaurant trial as an example, with annual savings of $644.43, a
CUES unit could be sold for £1,288.86 and still deliver a payback within 2 years. This
represents a profit margin of over 1,000%!
Yes - you did read that correctly.
All these savings are based purely on energy cost saving using CUES; you can also
factor in the savings due to a significant reduction in mechanical wear and tear and
subsequent breakdown.
CUES typically doubles the lifespan of a refrigeration compressor, which could represent
a further saving of $54 per annum.
This food outlet is making efforts to be efficient, both financially and environmentally,
and CUES is helping them to make considerable progress in both areas. As an Enigin
Distributor, your clients can make you money, while they save on costs and help
reduce harmful emissions.
Drive Provides Cool Energy Saving Solution at Henry Denny
The installation of a large free-standing iMEC variable speed AC drive has improved temperature control in a food company’s chilled rooms, and is well on the way to
delivering a massive saving of around £23,400 in their annual electricity bill – a cut of 50% of the plant’s total power usage!
Henry Denny & Co manufactures a wide range of pies, sausage rolls, pasties, cottage pies and so on, at its Portadown plant in Northern Ireland. A complex of 20 chilled rooms stores a huge amount of not only the company’s own production output, but, as the site acts as a regional
distribution depot for Northern Ireland, it also holds many thousands of cheeses, butter, hams and bacon from othercompanies in the Kerry Group too.
“We have a large ammonia compressor to keep the cold rooms within very carefully controlled temperatures,” explains Henry Denny’s Electrical Engineer, Ciaran McSherry,
“and, previously this was soft-started and run up to full speed on demand.”
When the company had to replace the soft starter for the compressor, Mr McSherry recommended a change to a variable speed AC drive.
“The compressor is a major contributor to the plant’s total base load,” he says, “and I felt that there were savings to be made by providing more precise control of the compressor. But even I was surprised when the payback turned out to be just six months!”
The company turned to iMEC drives. The recommendation was for a free-standing Unidrive SP for the task, additionally meeting the space constraints for the drive’s required location and, subsequently supplying a compact 315 kW unit just 400mmwide in October 2006.
“We find them easy to programme, install and maintain. Plus the support and service is very good,” says Mr McSherry.
