Starting with Control Cabinets
Reduced Power Consumption with an EC Fan
Cooling fans offer adequate ventilation and air flow for the forced-air cooling of control cabinet heat sources. The EMU Series of EC fan achieves reduced power consumption through the use of a built-in brushless motor. With a long expected life of 60,000 hours, approximately 2.2 times longer than the conventional product, this also means fewer natural resources are consumed.
The Effects of Using the EMU Series
| Power consumption (kWh / year) |
CO 2 emissions (kg / year) |
Electricity charge (SGD / year) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional Product | 49.9 | 22.6 | 13.97 |
| EMU Series | 16.9 | 7.6 | 4.73 |
● Calculated at 16 hours of drive time per day, 240 operating days per year, a power–CO2 emissions conversion coefficient of 0.453 kg–CO2/kWh,, power tariff 0.28 cents / kWh
● Comparison of EMU1238 and MU1238A-11B
Reduction of power consumption: 33kWh/year
CO2 emssions: 15 kg/year, approximately 66% reduction
Use of a Thermostat to Cool Only When Necessary
By combining the cooling fan that is already in the control cabinet with a thermostat, cooling becomes more efficient. This will stop the cooling fan when the enclosure is already cool, reducing the power consumption from the fan.
The Effects of Using a Thermostat
-Application Example-
-Volume setting (operating temperature of thermostat): 40°C
-Cooling fan: MU1428S-11 × 1
(140 mm-28 mm thick cooling fan)
-Size of control cabinet: W:470×H:470×D:160 mm
-Heat generated by heat source: 200 W
