Motor Controllers or Power Factor Controllers – Which Saves More Energy?

Enigin iMEC Intelligent Motor Energy Controller Specs

How does iMEC work?

AC induction motors consume more than half of all the worlds’ energy!  Unfortunately, motors lack the intelligence to address three key problems that lead to massive energy wastage, unnecessary carbon emissions and undue wear and tear:

1) Fixed speed motor driven applications like escalators cannot intelligently adjust their torque output to match load changes leading to excess energy consumption.

2) Motors that drive applications like pumps & fans cannot intelligently adjust their speed to match load changes and as such consume more power than they need.

3) When starting, a motor develops more torque than is required at full speed. This high inrush of current can lead to mechanical breakdown and peak demand penalties. To avoid the problems associated with starting, motors are often left running continuously even when they are not being used which leads to huge energy waste.

The iMEC solution effortlessly addresses all of these problems by introducing intelligence to your existing systems:

1) iMEC can be applied to fixed speed applications and will dynamically adjust the torque output to meet load requirement without altering the speed (see fig. 1). This leads to substantial savings and is ideal for applications like escalators and many others which run at no/low load for long periods of time. In the right applications, payback is typically under two years!

2) iMEC can be specified to intelligently adjust the speed of your motors to match their variable loading so your motors only consume the power they need. This is a vast improvement over traditional control methods (see fig. 2). A mere 20% reduction in speed can lead to energy savings of up to 50%!

3) iMEC provides a smooth, step-less acceleration (soft start) of your motors (see fig. 3).

This dramatically reduces wear & tear on your system and helps you to avoid peak demand penalties. With a controlled start in place your motors can now be switched off without the fears of re-starting and iMEC can be programmed to perform this function automatically. Auto Switch Off delivers 100% energy savings!

Did you know? A motor operating continuously can consume its own first cost in less than three weeks!

Use iMEC to get your motors under control – it’s a great way to cut your costs, boost your profits and ‘do your bit’ in the fight against climate change

Liquid Air Creates Pure Drinking Water From Humid Air Almost Free

For Wholesale Pricing and Brochure Please Click Here

Maryland Green Power Co. now distributes a product which will reduce your dependence on bottled water, save you money, reduce plastic bottle waste, and dehumidify your room:

Liquid Air, a product which solves all these problems for businesses and residential consumers in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Now that bottled water companies are attempting to increase their profits by charging “fuel-surcharges” to their customers for water bottle delivery, Maryland Green Power Co. offers a solution which is both economical, and solves the plastic water bottle waste issue.

The Liquid Air device will supply 5 gallons of pure, filtered drinking water per day by removing humidity from the surrounding air, something Maryland has plenty of.

5 gallons of day from a bottled water supplier would cost about $ 160 per month, and create 30 plastic bottles per month of waste

The Liquid Air system can be leased for $ 122 per month, and does not use any bottles, which makes it more convenient to operate, and prevents the leaching of chemicals from the plastic water bottles which is possible with other systems.

In addition, Liquid Air reduces room humidity, which means the occupants will be comfortable with less air conditioning, saving even more money.

One unit creates 5 gallons per day indoors, and 2-3 times that amount outdoors, thus easily supplying up to 25 people in an office or school environment. The device is also perfect for hotels, fitness centers, colleges, resorts, etc.

Biological, chemical, industrial and physical waste has polluted our Earth’s ground water making the search for healthy drinking water a serious issue. Bottled water is not the solution.

A four year review of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found that 25% or more of all bottled water is really just Tap Water in a Bottle.

Compare to Other Water Sources

Of the plastic used to package the 6 billion gallons of bottled water sold in the United States each year, more than 80% of it ends up clogging landfills and littering the landscape and shoreline, spreading toxins into ground water and the ocean.

The Saudi Bombshell…

It is worth reading the complete article linked below, but in the end, whether what we are seeing here is the result of real “Peak Oil,” or “constrained oil” is not important. The fact still remains that we must wean ourselves from fossil fuels for national security and environmental reasons:

Saudi King Abdullah drops quiet bombshell; U.S. media sleep through it

Written by Steve Andrews and Randy Udall
Monday, 21 April 2008
On April 13, Reuters reported the following from Riyadh:

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah said he had ordered some new oil discoveries left untapped to preserve oil wealth in the world’s top exporter for future generations…

“When there were some new finds, I told them, ‘no, leave it in the ground, with grace from god, our children need it’,” King Abdullah said…

Saudi production capacity stands at around 11.3 million bpd, and is scheduled to rise to 12.5 million bpd next year.

The King’s remarks seem to confirm a statement made last year by Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi who, when asked “How high can your production go?” replied, “We’ll get to 12.5 million barrels a day and then we’ll see.”

If the Saudi announcement was a bombshell, American nearly newspapers ignored it. We decided to canvass experts we respect to see what they thought. Excerpts follow:…
