How You Benefit from Implementing ADF
By restoring the ideal power consumption, all ADF energy optimizers render in economical, environmental and technical benefits. It is only by interpreting all these together the true value of ADF appears.
Economical Benefits
Economical Benefits - Payback
Cost reductions and efficiency improvements are major themes across all industries. As refinement becomes more and more all-embracing, further quick and easy improvements are difficult to identify. Optimization of the electrical network is an important but often overlooked area with significant potential. ADF lets you to capitalize on:
- Fewer production disturbances
- Lower energy costs
- Increased equipment lifetime
- No penalty charges for reactive power or harmonic distortion
- Increased network capacity leads to less investment needs
- Lower operating costs
- May release governmental tax reliefs
Environmental Benefits
Environmental Benefits - Go Green and Become a Good Citizen
By optimizing the energy consumption, companies contribute to a better environment by reducing its products and production processes environmental impact. ADF is your tool to maintain a high environmental profile and to build brand strength. ADF allows for:
- Lowered CO2 emissions
- Competitive advantage through good citizenship image
- Reduced product lifecycle environmental impact
- Reduced energy consumption
- Slimmer network dimensioning
Technical Benefits
Technical Benefits - Improved Performance
The ADF technology comes in useful when technical problems arise. Machinery and equipment connected to the same network might inflict disturbances on each other, causing low quality or reduced production performance. Connection of additional equipment drains transformer capacity and can turn power distribution into a bottleneck. By solving technical problems and freeing capacity, ADF allows for improved efficiency and optimal production conditions:
- Fast enough to follow today's dynamic loads (response time < 1 ms)
- Automatically adapts to changes in load or installation
- Improves overall power factor
- Eliminates resonance problems
- Load balancing
- Reduces heat and wear on motors, drives and other equipment
- Frees power supply capacity
- Allows for leaner specification of feeding gear
