摘要

When one of Ireland's largest mushroom producers, Codd Mushrooms, wanted to save energy and boost reliability within its factory chilled water system, it turned to Mitsubishi Electric and its systems integrator partner MPAC for a solution. The resulting PLC based control system, using Mitsubishi Electric variable speed drives to control the various pumps, delivered a saving of over 5,400kWh in one week, which will amount to {EUR}40,000 per year Codd Mushrooms is Ireland's most progressive mushroom farmer, with a firm focus on quality and sustainability. The company was started in 1989 and has developed into one of the largest seller of mushrooms in Ireland.
