TM thank you very much for the info, I must admit I started off thinking that finding historical wet bulb data was going to be easy, how wrong can you be, even finding accurate electrical measuring equipment has proved to be a major project, mind you this has now been sourced. I have just designed a very basic system which has been installed in a food production factory in the derby area and the results are being assussed. Initial findings indicate the power savings of 20% are acheviable with a payback of under 3 years. When the power input of the combined motors are over a 1000kW/hour at design conditions then this is worth saving. No doubt we will be fine tuning this and even more power will be saved. I will investigate if our basic equipment can start recording the wet bulb temperature as this would at least give us easy to access to historical data.
With the installation being fined tuned our client has asked us how many tonnes of carbon he is saving, again we have been scouring the internet but cannot find how to convert kw into tonnes of carbon. Been on the goverment web site but they only deal with households (i.e. turning off a light bulb), has anybody got any idea for links for industrial users?
Sorry to be a pain,
Regards
Kerry
PS am i putting these sort of questions in the correct area's or shouldn't i even be asking these sorts of questions on this website, wouldn't like to upset anyone as obviously info is being used for both enviromental and commerical.
