A number of case studies were done on The Pro Series power conditioning system. Studies were done on institutional, commercial, and industrial facilities comparing energy usage and savings when The Pro Series was installed and used compared to usage when The Pro Series was absent.
The results showed an overwhelmingly big difference when The Pro Series unit was turned on. The studies showed much more power was saved when The Pro Series unit was present. These studies also revealed a savings in electric bills. Check out the tests that were done using The Pro Series unit and notice the difference between facilities using the unit and those without it.
Two car wash facilities were compared for this study. The graph shows the average electric bill compared to gross sales of both facilities before and after The Pro Series system was installed. The first facility saw a 34% savings in electricity, while the other saw a 48% savings after The Pro Series system was installed.
The following tests were conducted by General Electric (GE).
GE’s study found a 2.64 percent decrease in apparent power when The Pro Series unit was used for an hour at a KFC franchise.
The same study also found a decrease of 2.78 percent in total current used when The Pro Series unit was turned on at this particular KFC franchise.
A heat reduction test was taken on the Bekum Injection Molder to show how much less strain their motors are under when The Pro Series unit was used. The Pro Series unit provided clean and consistent power to allow the Bekum Injection Molder’s three motors (the pump motor, top motor, and conveyor motor) to produce considerably less heat. The result is an extended life span for these motors because of the reduction of heat and strain.
The Bekum Injection molding machine was also the subject of an inline/offline test that ran constantly for 10 hours. The test looked at the KWHs usage by using an EMON meter. For the first five hours, The Pro Series system was used on the machine. For the other five hours, the machine was turned off. The result was an average of 4 KWHs when The Pro Series was on and an average of 6 KWHs when the machine was off. This is a savings of 33% when The Pro Series is on.
These tests also showed that the installation of The Pro Series system led to a reduction in bad parts or culls. There was a noticeable difference. Before adding The Pro Series, the machine was averaging 14-16% bad parts. That number was reduced to 2% when The Pro Series was used. The Pro Series was able to condition the power to increase the efficiency of the machine.
The GE-conducted study of The Pro Series unit found a significant increase in Power Factor percentage. VI-JON Laboratories used The Pro Series system for an hour and took 12 readings in five minute increments during that period.
The same study also found that Reactive Energy (VARc) was reduced 57% when The Pro Series unit was on during a one-hour period with 12 readings taken in five minute increments.
These tests revealed that the power factor increased significantly with The Pro Series unit on as opposed to off.
The test also showed that the Reactive Energy decreased significantly with the Pro Series unit on for an hour as opposed to the hour it was turned off.
