Fact
The Rotary Ful-Vane compressor and all other air supply compressors are identical when it comes to efficiency in fulfilling your air supply requirements.
However, the Ful-Vane compressor will maintain its efficiency throughout its life, while other compressors efficiency begins to erode from the second it is put into service.
It is the inefficiency of the direct drive motor that causes power consumption costs to be higher.
Reducing Power Costs
The Proof is in the Numbers
Under continuous operation at a rate of 8.4 cents per kwh, the Ful-Power unit has proven to run more efficiently than a direct drive motor, lowering power consumption costs.
C300 Compressor
Old direct drive motor - 200 HP, 590 RPM
Yearly Power Consumption: $113,028
New HE 200 HP, 1800 RPM motor with cog belt drive
Savings of $25,000 per year in power consumption
ROI within 13 months
C350 Compressor
Old direct drive motor - 300 HP, 590 RPM
Yearly Power Consumption: $78,655
New HE 300 HP, 1800 RPM motor with cog belt drive
Savings of $16,583 per year in power consumption
ROI within 24 months
A west coast customer:
Saw potential to cut electricity consumption and expensive maintenance, while increasing reliability, by replacing older, slow-speed motors with energy efficient models.
The result was a $110,000 rebate from their electric utility for decreased demand on the local energy grid. ROI was immediate.
The Ful-Power High Efficiency Unit is a turn-key approach in the conservation process. With higher motor efficiencies and increased compressor performance efficiencies, as well as lower maintenance costs, the Ful-Power unit typically provides an ROI in less than twenty-four months.
