Energy Conservation in Belts and Drives
This article showcases the case studies of few industry segments, where one can find the energy loss in the power transmission from the motor to machine by the belts and pulley drives. - S Ashok, K S Subramanian
VFD Eliminates Bottleneck in Canning Plant
Beverage bottling or canning has always been a complex process, requiring strict control over a number of operating parameters. Accuracy of line speed, liquid flow rate and pressure, temperature, and timing is crucial to maximizing output and reducing or eliminating rejected product…
Z-Source Inverter Fed Induction Motor
This article presents a simplified analysis of ZSI and the steady state operation of 3-Φ induction motor fed by ZSI. Results of simulation study and experimentation are also included... - Prof. Adarsh J Mehta, Dr. Ashwini A Godbole
Improving Energy Efficiency
Motorized fluid handling machinery such as air compressors and pumps consume nearly 40 to 60% electric power used by the industry. A large number of such systems installed in our process and power plants, either operate under degraded efficiency conditions due to service induced deterioration of the equipment – or operate far from the optimal operating point on the characteristic curve due to over design or mismatch with the demand or process requirements… - Dr G S Grewal, Bhavesh Vasiyani
