Mitsubishi Electric Variable Speed Drives deliver big energy savings for Irish mushroom producer

摘要

When one of the largest mushroom producers in Ireland, Codd Mushrooms, looked at how to save energy within its factory chilled water system, and at the same time boost reliability, 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 and systems, has now delivered a saving of over 5400kWh in one week. The system therefore has the potential to deliver up to {EUR}40,000 per year in savings depending on seasonal variations.
