Emerging Technologies / Improvementsg g g pECM for Motors
Why?• Ultra High Efficiency (Energy savings
up to 67% average compared to PSC up to 67% average compared to PSC motors)
• Uses DC motors which are significantly more energy efficient significantly more energy efficient that AC motors and are easier to control
• Soft starts and stops• Fan Laws can be utilized to reduce
Energy ConsumptionEnergy Consumption• 10% Reduction in Airflow results in
27% energy reduction.
