Observations & Recommendations
CPF - Capacitor & Power Factor
ObservationRecommendationUnit SavingsAnnual SavingsInvestmentROIStatus
All APFC are contactor type and one capacitor Y phase was found disconnectedAPFC operating mechanism should be corrected with thyristor based
MT - Motors
ObservationRecommendationUnit SavingsAnnual SavingsInvestmentROIStatus
Many Pressing machines are idle for most of the timeInstall VFD for big machines1,41,271₹15,53,981₹8,80,0006.8
Pulleys are broken.Don’t over tight the belts. If slippage is more replace with cogged belts
CR - Compressor
ObservationRecommendationUnit SavingsAnnual SavingsInvestmentROIStatus
Too much leakage in compressed air line.Arrest Leakage frequently1,25,654₹13,82,194₹10,0000.1
All compressors are normal screw type compressorsOne of the compressor should be provided with VFD so as to meet the variable loads41,949₹4,61,439₹1,50,0003.9
CT - Cooling Tower
ObservationRecommendationUnit SavingsAnnual SavingsInvestmentROIStatus
Water flow is bypass to maintain the flow inside the plantInstall VFD and optimize the flow in such a way that the pressure/flow in plant is maintained11,130₹1,22,435₹1,20,00011.8
Cooling Tower has no sprinkling.Sprinkling will increase the range of cooling tower and hence save energy
ALS - Alternate Source of Power
ObservationRecommendationUnit SavingsAnnual SavingsInvestmentROIStatus
Soiling, degrading of glass surface which may result in moisture ingress.Install water drainer clip
