What else can we do?
Change freezer temperatures
-80°C freezers vary between 14-21 kWh/day -70°C reading is 12kWh per day
Present data on energy consumption to staff (talk then email)Cascade to divisional staff and studentsVoluntary reduction not compulsoryTech staff liaise between groups to alter settings on shared freezers

Outcome of freezer temperature requestFreezersThe total number of freezers reduced from -80°C to -70°C is: 19 (FWB 12 and NHH 7) about 30% of our collection. We have a total of 63 low temperature (all originally -80°C) freezers in two buildings: New Hunt’s House (NHH) has 38 and Franklin-Wilkins Building (FWB) has 25.

Search defra carbon conversion factors 2013http://www.ukconversionfactorscarbonsmart.co.uk/
For the above I used the Defra carbon conversion factor of 0.48357 kgCO2/kWh. For cost, I would normally use 10 p/kWh as that’s the current total cost including all charges.

SavaControls: How they work
Power In Solid State Switch
The solid state switch switches for a longer or shorter time, depending on the load on the motor, 100 times a second
SavaControl
Compressor

SavaControls: What are they
Electronic controllers which reduce the electricity used by electric motors when
operating under part load conditions.
They do this in two ways, by:1. Improving the motor efficiency2. Modulating the power input according to
the motor loading.
![Page 35: IMPROVING COLD STORAGE AT KING’S COLLEGE Allison Hunter School of Biomedical Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649c795503460f9492e5b3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Savawatt calculations
Refrigeration is never switched of and compressor run times will vary depending on type of equipment, what it is used for, how often the door is opened, how old it is etc. We take an average compressor run time as sixteen hours per day of which 80% of the time the motor will be in a part load condition. (part load is when the SavaControl reduce consumption) The formulae for annual electrical consumption is: amps x volts x hours run x power factor =kWhrs per annum 1000 With numbers of a simple -20 freezer = 1.3amps x 240 volts x 4672 (80% of 16x365) x 0.8 (compressor motor power factor) = 1166kWhrs per year 1000 SavaControls will save 20% per annum on single phase applications. On the above the saving will be 233kWhrs, based on an electricity cost of 10p/kWhr a saving of £23.32 per annum will be achieved. The basic SC3 @ £34.00 (plus installation) offers a payback around 1.5 years.

Drying cabinets
FWB 5.118 one cabinet measured at 14.3 kWh/dayTimers on at 7am and off at 7pm would save: 14.3 x 0.5 x 3 cabinets x 365 days= 7829 kWh p.a. (x.10p kWh = £780 per annum in one lab alone) and 3.78 tonnes CO2.
FWB 5.48 one drying cabinet uses 42.78 kWh/day 1.78 kWh X .10pkWh = 18p or £1.78 for 24 hrs or x365 days = £649.70By using a 12 hour timer we would save £323.96 per annum and 4.04 tonnes CO2.
