III. Affinity Laws

V. Conclusion

Affinity Laws for Centrifugal Loads

Adjustable Speed Drives increase system efficiency provide means to reduce motor speed for pumps and fans based on the needs of the building environment

Significant energy savings at lower motor speeds can be realizedbased of the Affinity laws;

Flow = f (motor speed)

Pressure = f (motor speed)2

Horsepower = f (motor speed)3

Lower motor speed = less energy consumption

A motor running at 90% of full speed requires 73% of the electricity of a motor running at 100% speed. (.9 x .9 x .9 = .729)

A motor running at 80% of full speed requires 51% of the electricity of a motor running at 100% speed. (.8 x .8 x .8 = .512)

A motor running at 50% of full speed requires 12.5% of the electricity of a motor running at 100% speed.(.5 x .5 x .5 = .125)

Customer Benefit Calculation

Cost Savings

Drives pay for themselves in a relatively short period of time.

Typically < 2 years depending on applications through savings on electricity bills.

A fan with a 20 horsepower motor supplies air12 hours a day260 days a year Energy cost is of $0.09 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Cost of running a 20hp motor full speed 12 hours per day:20 hp x 0.746 kW/hp x 3120 hours x $0.09/kWhr = $4190 per year

Typical Average Annual Utility Rates ($/kWh):*San Francisco $0.1419Los Angeles 0.1266Dallas 0.0900Richmond 0.0689New York 0.2037Average $0.1262

*Source: Syska Hennessy Consulting Group Atlanta, GA

Assuming the fan does not need to run at full speed all of the day:Running full speed (100%) for 25% of the day 80% speed for 50% of the day50% speed for the remaining 25% of the day

Cost of running with an AC drive controlling the motor:20 hp x (1)3 x 0.746 kW/hp x 780 hours x $0.09/kWhr = $1,047 per year20 hp x (0.8)3 x 0.746 kW/hp x 1560 hours x $0.09/kWhr = $1,07320 hp x (0.5)3 x 0.746 kW/hp x 780 hours x $0.09/kWhr = $131

Total = $2,251 per year

Annual savings: $4,190 - $2,251 = $1,939 savings per year

20hp drive typical cost: $2,709 installed cost

(2709 cost per drive / 1939 savings per year) x 12 months = 17 months payback

Payback for the cost of the drive is less than two years

Case Study

Actual Cost Savings Example

Customer replaced motor soft start device with AC Drive

Actual measurable savings in cost of electricity achieved was $148.00 dollars per week

$7,696.00 dollars electricity saved per year

Cost of drive and metering: $4,500 installed cost

Case Study – Food Manufacturer, Tennessee

Payback for the cost of the drive and meter - 7 months

BackgroundAir distribution system for 155,000 square foot clothing store provided by five air handling units located in penthouse equipment room.Two return fans vented air from first and second floors through ductwork to air handling unitsAir handling units provided conditioned air through out the building through ductwork to diffusers.Fans operated at two speeds, high and low, adjusted manually.Fans usually operated at high speed setting, occasionally at low speed setting.

Testing was conducted to determine airflow at high speed.Data collected indicated actual airflow from each AHU was less than designed airflow;

therefore fans were larger than necessary for this facility.Accumulation of dirt on the cooling coils in AHU 1 and 2 restricted airflow and wasted fan energy.Measurements of each motor indicated maximum load was less than horsepower rating.

Potential energy saver – minimize outside air for ventilation. Outside air has to be heated or cooled which require energy.By monitoring carbon dioxide levels in building – air intake could be reduced to minimum quantity necessary.

Case Study – JC Penney, Atlanta, GA*

*Energy Star® Building Manual - Fan System Upgrades

SolutionInstall variable frequency drives on supply air and return air fans to bring fan capacity nearer to actual load.Install carbon dioxide sensors to minimize intake of outside air.Space thermostats were used to regulate fan speeds directly.Before VFD installation, fans cycled on at maximum speed with high motor inrush currents, then cycled off regularly. VFDs eliminated inefficient constant cycling. Peak power was therefore less than maximum. Projected electric demand savings was 36 kilowatts per month.

Cost of VFDs and carbon dioxide sensors: $17,000 installed costProjected electricity savings: 138,833 kilowattsProjected annual savings: $9,726.00

Payback period for project: 1.75 yearsProject internal rate of return: 56.6%

JC Penney was able to realize substantial annual savings – almost $10,000 per yearwith relatively low investment.
