Power Factor Corrections Systems

Many utilities effectively charge a penalty for lowpower factor. Power factor correction capacitorssupply the reactive power (kVAR) required byinductive loads. By correcting poor power factor,capacitors reduce kVA demand, thus off-loadingtransformers, switchgear and other equipment.The reduced kVA demand results in lower utility

power bills, cooler equipment operationand longer equipment life.

Applying power factor capacitorsused to be straight forward.

Today, with the prolifera-tion of harmonic generat-

ing loads such asvariable frequencydrives, soft startersand welders, care-ful attention mustbe paid to proper

application ofpower factorcorrection andharmonic filter-ing equipmentto avoid mis-applicationproblems. As aleader in thefield of powerfactor correc-tion and har-monic filteringequipment,Source Atlantic provides solutions to manypower quality problems experienced in today'sindustrial facilities.

PRODUCTSOsram - Lighting

OSRAM

Lighting accounts for the single largest portion ofthe electric bills for commercial users (30% +),which means that efficient lighting can be a bigcontributor to reducing energy costs.

Lamp and ballast manufacturers have, over the pastdecade, brought products to market that can help cutlighting costs 30% to 60% while enhancing lighting

quality, maintaining appropriate light levels in theworkplace, and reducing environmental impacts.

Installing energy efficient lighting is one of the bestthings a building owner can do for the environment,and for business. Energy efficient lighting reduces notonly energy consumption – it reduces emissions frompower plants and it improves the business owner’sbottom line. Some of the most efficient fluorescentlighting systems use T8 lamps and electronic ballasts.

Osram Sylvania and Source Atlantic offer an annualenergy savings calculator which will calculate theenergy cost savings resulting from an upgrade.The annual cost savings figure can be comparedwith the cost of the upgrade to determine simplepayback and return.


PRODUCTSASCO Next Generation Solenoid Valve

PRODUCTSEnergy Efficient EXIT signage

New Valve Technology Accepts AC and DCPower While Improving Performance

With new power management technology and robustadvanced electronics, the valve accepts both AC andDC voltages while improving performance. Its 2-wattpower consumption delivers the same performanceas a 17-watt AC solenoid valve. DC performance hasbeen increased by 150% to 500% from today’s indus-try standards, making the valves’ DC characteristicsequivalent to AC pressure and flow values.

Customers now can operate a solenoid solely onDC power, greatly simplifying field-wiring schemesand reducing their cost. This capability also endsthe need for costly AC -power control cards.

The Next Generation technology incorporatesbuilt-in surge suppression that protects both thesolenoid cell and system electrical controls. Thisfeature also eliminates inductive spikes generated

by the solenoid,greatly lengthen-ing the lives ofmechanical orsolidstate switch-es and ending theneed for externalsnubber circuits.

Its exceptional flexibility means one version of theNext Generation valve can be used throughout aplant or across a global manufacturing network, sim-plifying and minimizing inventory requirements. Thenew valves are offered in three voltage ranges cover-ing most electrical requirements – 100-240/AC orDC, 24-99/AC or DC, or 12-24/DC.

Next Generation products include 2-, 3-, and 4- waysolenoid valves for most fluid control applications.

Carlisle – The Gold Label Cog-Belt

Drive system efficiency is at the mercy of itsweakest link. The building maintenance industryhas taken great strides to improve efficiency andproductivity of motors and driven air handlingequipment. However, little attention has beengiven to the power transmission system connectingthis equipment.

Ordinary v-belts waste energy and money. Testsshow the Gold Label Cog-Belt by Carlisle is, onaverage, 4-1/2% more efficient than ordinary v-belts. The secret to the energy saving power ofthe Gold Label Cog Belt is in its unique design. TheGold Label Cog-Belt has raw edge premium rubbersidewalls to grip pulleys better and precision moldedcogs for improved flexibility and cooler running.

Saving energy on any power transmission systemis as easy as taking old v-belts off the drive andinstalling a factory matched set of the Carlisle

Gold Label Cog-Belt because the Gold Label Cog-Beltcan be installed on your existing drives without anyspecial drive modifications. Switch out yourordinary v-belts to the Gold Label Cog-Belt andstart saving time, energy, and money today.

PRODUCTSCarlisle – RPP Panther

For maximumdrive efficiency,the Carlisle RPRPanther hightorque synchro-nous belt canput some realteeth in meshprinciple for pos-itive engage-ment betweenbelt and sprock-et. As a result,

power transferred from the motor to the drivenunit is at a rate of 98-99% efficiency.

RPP Panther is the power transmission system ofchoice on many new HVAC installations. Because ofthe positive engagement power transfer of Panther,operating speeds can be controlled much more closelythan with ordinary v-belts. The RPP Panther is ideallysuited for modern systems where inverter devicesand/or computer controlled air volume technology isused because of its inherent high operating efficiency.

Also, if your belt drive or chain sprockets aremore than five years old, these components arelikely worn out and wasting energy due to driveslippage and tension loss. It is probably time toreplace these worn out components. It is also anopportune time to upgrade your existing powertransmission system from outdated chain or v-beltdrives to the modern and efficient RPP Pantherdrive system. The payback in energy savings isoften recovered in just a few short months.


PRODUCTSPremium Efficiency Motors

PRODUCTSVariable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

Motor-driven systems account for 50 to 75 percentof the electrical utility costs of most industries(higher in some cases!). Since most motor systemsare designed to handle peak loads plus a safetyfactor, tremendous inefficiencies occur whenmotors operate at reduced loads. With the properuse of a VFD, continuous control is provided bymatching motor speed to the specific processapplication demands.

Let our electrical team at Source Atlantic evaluate your motor system and, through the properapplication of VFDs, discover opportunities to:

• Reduce energy consumption by up to 50%• Provide more precise control of the process• Extend motor life and reduce maintenance costs

by lessening mechanical and electrical stresson the motor

• Improve reliability and visibility

Energy costs represent at least 90% of thelife cycle cost of a motor.

Upgrades to old motors can present energy savingsof 25% to 50%, depending on the application.Even new systems represent opportunities, asmany OEMs still do not use premium efficiencyproducts, opting for a lower initial purchase costrather than a lower life cycle cost.

Source Atlantic represents some of the world’sleading motor manufactures and, through the properapplication of our line of premium efficiency motors,will help you to reduce energy consumption andextend motor life.

amPRODUCTSVelan Bellows Seal Gate and Globe Valves

Standard gate and globe valves allow expensivesteam loss due to packing leaks. Velan’s bellowssealed stem and seal-welded body-bonnet jointprovide reliability and total containment of steam(zero leakage), resulting in fast payback and biglong-term savings.

ExampleA 1" standard packed forged steel gate valvecosts $50.00. The equivalent bellows seal valvecosts $260.00. One 1/32" orifice steam leak with$4.00 per 1,000 lb. steam at 450 psi costs $5.13per day or $1,872.45 for 1 year in a 1" gate valve.A bellows seal valve eliminates the possibility forthat leak. The price premium for bellows seal of$210.00 is recovered in 41 days, and savings of$35.91 per week are recouped thereafter. Multiplythat by the number of valves in your plant, andyou see the potential.

SERVICESteam Trap Survey

Many steam systems are poorly maintained andin such cases, from 15% to 35% of the installedsteam traps have failed. If your steam system isextensive enough to include over 500 traps, youcan expect a steam trap audit to reveal significantsteam losses, with opportunity to realize consid-erable energy savings.

Our audit process will identify, tag and test yoursteam traps, and in addition to evaluatinginstalled trap performance, will help to identifyapplication problems. The benefits of a steamtrap survey and ongoing maintenance include:

• Energy savings• Improved condensate collection• Improved product quality
