In an era where efficiency is in the spotlight, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to reduce energy usage. Katherine Crichton looks at how overall system efficiency is providing a solution.
THE Australian introduction of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for electric squirrel-cage induction motors is, in some respects, old news.
THE latest revision to the MEPS scheme has raised the benchmark of electric motor efficiency in Australia.
AT an official Manufacturers’ Monthly breakfast seminar held at National Manufacturing Week 2008 the latest revision to the Minimum Energy Performance Standards’ (MEPS) was explored, with respect to electric three-phase induction motors.
Manufacturers' Monthly has pleasure in inviting readers to two exclusive breakfast seminars next Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th May 2008 both at 8.00am at the Star Room, Darling Harbour, Sydney.
In an effort to reduce costs and energy consumption, manufacturers are undertaking maintenance programs incorporating stringent testing and maintenance of systems. Katherine Crichton reports.
With climate change a recognised global issue, MEPS and now a new Code of Rewinding Practice shows standards for energy efficiency are being set, but can they be met? Katherine Crichton reports.
THE SK 21-SFC rotary screw compressors from Kaeser has been developed in Kaeser's research and development centre in Germany.
