HOWATHERM Klimatechnik has been specializing
for nearly 30 years in the development
and production of efficient
systems for air handling applications to
create and maintain comfortable indoor
atmospheres for people.
In the evaluation of contracts, operating
costs have long been a key parameter. An
environmentally responsible and economical
use of resources, in both the manufacture
and the use of AHU equipment, are
important decision-making factors to specifiers
and equipment users. Electrical
power savings are a particularly important
criterion.
This is why HOWATHERM's engineers, in
their ongoing design improvement, have
made the reduction of electrical power
consumption an overriding objective.
Investment and operating cost
estimates
An evaluation of our ETA SYSTEM versus
conventional designs may appear to show
initially higher investment costs.
If the equipment side is included in these
calculations - and about 60% of all systems
require converter control - the frequency
converter cannot generally be taken into
account in the pre-investment analysis.
Without the frequency converter, however,
the investment cost of an ETA SYSTEM
looks even more favorable when compared
against conventional equipment, given
the reduced mechanical complexity. And
even if the frequency converter is included
in the analysis, the ETA SYSTEM offers payback
periods of 1 - 2 years on average.
With the fundamental option of an ondemand
flow control system, this payback
period will be cut by another 50%.
Evidently, the elimination of the belt drive
can often make a second filter stage dispensable.
Let us assume that you intend to replace a
conventional AHU with one from our
energy-optimized ETA SYSTEM range, all
other design characteristics being equal.
