Comfort-with the ETH or radio-controlled radiator thermostats available can save up to 30% on heating costs are the consumer the FHT 80 series. Occupied or even surpassed this high energy-saving potential was through an independent, given by the IHK Hannover commissioned opinion.

Therefore, medium-sized companies generally offer a secure workplace employees. Why? The German middle-class thinks in generations and sustainable and holistic. The German Mittelstand secures yourself and others – at your own risk – the jobs. Gain insight and clarity with Energy Capital Partners.

That deserves recognition, respect and Appreciation. From this reason the Oskar-Patzelt-Foundation praises this year for the 15th time the competition Grand Prix of medium-sized companies\”out.

But this region is one of the five most densely industrialized regions in the EU.

Energy and maintenance costs to determine the payback period. Even with the acquisition of new equipment and the planning of air stations, the company offers its vendor-independent consulting. This one has the experience that operators often do not sufficiently take into account the costs of a compressed air station. At the beginning of the planning is therefore often a system comparison that compares the energy and maintenance costs of multiple systems of achieve the same performance. A 250-kW machine is an example: Needed for a flow rate of approximately 2300 m/h at a pressure of 6 bar.

A two-stage screw compressor is indeed about 30000 to purchase more expensive than a comparable single-stage rotary compressor; These additional costs have amortized but due to lower operating costs within two years. The extra price compared to a single-stage screw compressor would pay for themselves in about four years. More energy-efficient Measures, such as a heat recovery system, contribute to improving the efficiency of compressed air stations. The company will assist in their interpretation. System – specific and vendor-independent consulting screw, Rotary or piston compressor? When selecting the compressor design advises Peter Balakrishnan, the user as an independent consulting company that transferred against compressors of from different manufacturers. The plant runs not regularly and each only for a short time, the use of a piston compressor is useful after Peter’s experiences because the screw compressor is due to their construction as quickly as possible to reach its operating temperature and long run.

However, two things must be taken into account: the piston compressors maintenance costs are higher than for screw compressors, the specific efficiency of a double acting piston compressor, however, is better than that of a screw compressor. Here must be weighed in each case and calculated, what type of economic works. As well, the issue should “Direct or belt drive?” according to the usage to be decided. At the three shift operation can be best utilized the advantages of the low-maintenance direct drive: the transmission is set to about 100000 operating hours, while the v-belt must be changed frequently to 3000 to 6000 hours and also the pulleys are subject to a certain wear. Criteria like this is called Peter Balakrishnan in the consultation, when it comes to new investments, and accordingly construes the compressor station. Here, the customer – to take advantage of a system and manufacturer independent provider, because it is not necessarily set on certain types of compressor. Due to the maintenance and repair of the facilities has been reached also a great practical knowledge, which is incorporated in the consulting and investment planning.

Traceability of goods and minimized error rate the statutory regulations in the food industry are far more extensive and special, as in most other industries.

Environmental indicators can on different areas, works or sites involved are efficiency should first already in the company existing data be assumed and these then gradually be expanded to collect figures. The biggest environmental and economic savings are BBs into a purposeful selection of environmental performance indicators for SMEs. The identified environmental indicators can be compared both with the figures of the previous periods (time series comparison) as with the figures from other business units or establishments (operating comparison). By comparing your own key figures both with industry-related and ancillary businesses can recognize their own strengths and weaknesses and shows (benchmarking). I.e. environmental indicators should especially for detecting saving rich outputs, i.e.

for sewage distinct specific loads of water, waste fractions to different waste or for specific pollutants to distinct Ducting be used. Here it comes, what material and energy flows each leave the individual branches, i.e. the main objective are identifying the main mission and waste sources, reduction of waste exhaust air/waste water) stream and cost optimization of product environmental attributes, reducing local environmental impact.

They are formed at lower organizational levels and are therefore in particular for planning, control and instrumentation.
