TREND Second Generation - Variable Speed Drives (VSD's) VSD2H

At least half of the electricity consumed by today's modern commercial buildings is used to circulate air & water. Too often these systems are over sized & are run at full power, irrespective of load or demand, resulting in energy being wasted. For efficiency & environmental reasons, HVAC systems are increasingly incorporating variable speed drives that can precisely control the speed of the fans or pumps.

This makes the system operate more efficiently, significantly reducing energy use & costs. Trend variable speed drives (VSD's), which operate either stand-alone or as part of a complete Building Energy Management System (BEMS), are designed specifically for HVAC applications to deliver "Measurable Energy Savings" that building owners & facility managers demand.

GBC can provide VSD2H Variable Speed Drives (VSD's) from 1.1kw - 160kw in either IP21 or IP54 enclosures.  (Payback Typically Less Than 2 Years)

Why Save Energy?
Saving energy saves money & helps combat climate change

• 40% of global energy is consumed by industry

• 65% of industrial energy is consumed by electric motors

• 25% of global energy is consumed by electric motors

Save Energy - Save Money
Using variable speed drives to control your process will save
energy, and save your company valuable costs.

Using a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to reduce the speed of
a pump or fan application can typically achieve the following savings;

• reducing a motor speed by 10%, will achieve a 27% reduction in energy consumption

• reducing a motor speed by 20%, will achieve a 48% reduction in energy consumption

• As an extra incentive, UK Government has introduced the 'Enhanced Capital Allowances' (ECA) Scheme.

Under the Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) scheme, you can claim an enhanced 100% capital allowance on qualifying investments in equipment in the first tax year. Normal capital allowances on plant and machinery are 25% a year on a reducing balance basis. So the scheme boosts cash flow and shortens the payback period. With this scheme the cost of the product and any direct costs relating to the installation, including transportation can be used to reduce the amount of corporation tax that your company pays. In basic terms, if your company pays 20% corporation tax, then for every £100 spent on an approved product, £20 can be claimed back from the government to offset against the initial outlay.

The Variable Speed Drives we provide are certified as energy saving products and appear on the UK Government's Energy Technology Product List.

"Achieving Energy Savings" is much easier than you think:
We can install these for you or your own electrician can purchase a variable speed drive from us & once fitted to control a HVCA Fan or Pump Motor, this will result in substantial energy cost savings and achieve a rapid payback usually in under 2 years. Just how substantial and how rapid can be easily worked out by one of our skilled engineers.
