Energy reduction opportunities in industrial dust collection systems
It’s one thing to control your dirty air from manufacturing processes, it’s another to do it intelligently! Modern industrial dust and fume collection systems typically lack the controls and monitoring needed to be truly energy efficient. In this webinar, our expert presenters will help you understand your dust collection system and give you the tools you need to optimize its performance and energy use. You will learn how to:
- Generate a simple block diagram of your system
- Estimate energy cost
- Recognize and address typical problems and maintenance issues associated with these systems
We will showcase the elements required for a high-performance industrial fume and dust collection system. The webinar will conclude with a review of case studies that highlight potential energy reduction opportunities associated with improvements like VFDs, blast gates, and intelligent controls.
What you'll learn:
- Estimate the energy cost associated with a typical dust and fume collection system
- Recognize and address typical problems and maintenance issues associated with these systems
- Identify elements of a high-performance dust and fume collection system
- Describe potential energy reduction opportunities
