NORD ECO service Competent support for economical and energy-efficient drive systems
With its ECO service , NORD helps companies to find the most efficient drive solution for their application .
Not only energy consumption and CO₂ emissions but also the costs for administration , maintenance and wear can be reduced by using suitable drive systems . The NORD ECO box can measure the energy consumption of individual drives in detail and allows for extensive data analysis .
“ The first step is the comprehensive collection of measurement values ”, Jörg Niermann , Head of Marketing at NORD , explains . “ The NORD ECO box contains an energy measuring device that measures the drive ’ s current and voltage . It determines the effective or reactive power , i . e . the energy actually used or not used , and from this calculates the relative power factor .”
After installation of the NORD ECO box between the drive and power supply , data covering permanent loads , load peaks and irregular conditions is recorded over a period of two months . Measuring over the entire period creates a high density of data that can identify patterns and random outliers , allowing a load cycle of the entire system to be created .
EVALUATION OF THE DATA
Once the survey is completed , NORD evaluates the data . The customer receives the evaluation in the form of a PDF document which presents the main key data .
In the evaluation of the results , the large amount of data recorded makes it possible to determine precisely whether 112 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
The NORD ECO service has already helped various customers to improve the energy efficiency of their production and thus to reduce their carbon footprint .
the dimensions of a system meet the requirements of the respective application or whether the system is oversized , for example , which is particularly important when optimising for energy efficiency .
REDUCTION OF VARIANTS
In large systems with numerous drives – such as in intralogistics – the NORD ECO service can help not only to optimise the power used by the individual drive systems , but also to reduce the number of different systems . This helps to further streamline production , logistics , storage and service processes . The highefficiency motors from NORD provide a constant torque over a large speed range and are particularly suitable for a reduction of variants .
Together with the data evaluation , the customer receives a recommendation for an efficient NORD drive solution . The energy balance of the NORD solution is documented as part of a further measurement and the customer can see their increase in efficiency in writing .
