New Blackberry App from WEG
Motor users now have key energy savings, emissions data and payback times available at their fingertips
A NEW Blackberry App from WEG provides motor users with a powerful mobile tool to calculate energy savings, return on investment and reductions in CO2 emissions, as well as the means to create reports across all electric motors in an organization.
The simple-to-use App offers the benefits of dual set-up options for kilowatts and horsepower, and the Euro, Dollar and Pound as default currencies, with the facility for other currencies via a ‘custom’ function. In addition, coefficients for CO2 emissions are provided for coal, oil, natural gas and other fuels.
Complementing WEG’s motor Payback Tool, the new Blackberry App will calculate the payback time for premium v standard-efficiency motors in new projects, and is equally useful in assessing the running costs of existing motors to determine the repayment time for replacing them with more efficient types.
It also allows users to calculate and display the payback time for a new motor against the cost of a rewind following a motor failure. Here the system takes account of the fact that rewound motors may experience a drop of up to two points in efficiency.
‘Both the Blackberry App and the Payback Tool are essential instruments for motor users,’ commented Marek Lukaszczyk, European marketing manager for WEG. ‘Electric motors usually run for thousands of hours every year, so any gain in efficiency by replacing existing motors with higher-efficiency versions will translate into considerable savings, which could pay for the investment in higher-efficiency machines in just a few years or, in some cases, months.’
