Save up to 30% on your machine energy consumption

How can you improve your machines performance at full and partial loads ?


Increase performance by reducing machine energy consumption

●Using AFB* oriented Energy Efficiency. Some examples:

Floating high pressurewith VSDEnergy saving of up to 10% > Excellent association drive / M168 controller to modulate the air flow

AHU temperature controlReduced cooling energy costs > economizer control function> summer compensation function

Water temperature controlIncrease machine Energy efficiency due to more accurate water temperature control with less overshoot

Plant mode controlThe night purge function cools down the buildingduring unoccupied periods to reduce coolingenergy needs

Application Function Blocks*


Increase performance by reducing machine energy consumption

●Using Variable Speed Drive solutions● For fan ventilation applications, solutions

based on Altivar drives can save up to 50% in energy consumption compared to conventional motor starter and flow regulation installations -30%

Improved efficiency on a central air handling unit for the production plant. The solution, based on 4 90 kW Altivar drives, provided 30% energy savings and an investment payback of 13 months.TEMIC semiconductors in France
