Electric motors represent two-thirds of the electric energy consumption in the EU industry. Applications that are developed, in greater measure, pumps, fans and compressors, being also that allow to obtain higher energy savings using frequency converters to control the speed of the engine are: more than 50% of energy savings in some cases.

The increasingly restrictive legislation (increases in energy costs, penalties for excessive consumption, etc.), causes that we can not ignore these problems and the search for solutions. Because of this necessity, the best option is the installation of converters of frequency for motors.

Converters of frequency of Omron adapt the speed of the engine to ensure the proper functioning of the application and optimize energy costs. In addition, incorporate a function of automatic energy conservation that provides the optimal voltage to the motor based on the conditions of the minimum load/consumption to maintain the operation of the application, getting the equivalent yield with less consumption.

There are also investment programmes that will make it possible at this time that companies can satisfy the above approaches. The aid of these programmes, together with the savings on electricity bills obtained using frequency converters, allow to the amortization of the improvements occur in a short period of time (two years or even less), and also extending the useful life of the engines used.

-Reduction of consumption (active and reactive) energy efficiency.

-Better operational control, optimizing the profitability and productivity of the production processes.

-Minimize the losses in the facilities.

-Savings in maintenance (engine works with less stress and the optimal operating conditions)

-Reduction of acoustic noise of the engines.

-Guarantees the continuity of the installation.

-Get the same or higher quality objectives and response, increasing customer satisfaction.

€Saver is a powerful tool of Omron which allows to estimate the energy savings you can get in a facility to replace a control method of the conventional engine with a frequency converter and in how much time would result in the return on investment.

The software is designed to be easy to use, intuitive and reliable in their estimates, as well as allowing select converter frequency most appropriate Omron for each application. It has a very appealing graphic interface which allows the user to quickly familiarize yourself with the application.

It allows the user the possibility to make a basic estimate, which require a minimum data of the application, either a more detailed estimate, which requires a more precise description of the system, allowing endless possibilities to define ranges of work, electric rates in different slots and even different stations during the year. All these features allows a very accurate estimate.

€Saver makes the estimation of energy-saving applications of pumps, fans and compressors, comparing the results between the current existing installation according to its method of control and the installation with frequency converter. To this end, it is necessary to define the cycle of the application, the more precise is this definition, greater accuracy will be the estimate.

As a result of the study, €Saver generates useful reports and graphs showing the cleanest energy, the difference in cost in electricity bills and time of return on investment. In addition, the results can be stored in different formats (.doc, .pdf, etc.).
