Energy Saving in Leisure Centres and Public Buildings.
The starting point for any successful energy saving plan is to determine early on just where energy can be saved. The largest immediate savings are likely to be found with the a/c motors that drive pumps and fans in Swimming Pools and Leisure Centres. These would normally run at full speed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, consuming increasingly expensive electricity. (At some sites the cost of a kW hour has risen from 3.5p to over 8p in the last two years). The use of variable speed drives to control these motors means that their speed can be adjusted according to demand, rather than running constantly at full speed. Generally the cost savings have been proved to be around 35%, with a payback period of less than two years. Powermaster·s experience means we can get straight to the heart of the potential savings. By focusing on your motor applications we know precisely where to look and what we are likely to find.

  • Pump and fan motors offer the best opportunity for energy savings through the installation of Variable Speed Drives. A 10% reduction in the speed of a pump or fan will give a 25% reduction in energy consumption. A 20% speed reduction will give a 50% reduction in energy cost. The greater the speed reduction, the greater the savings.
