Scope of Work of Energy Audit
Energy Balance of any facility indicates the different types and quantum of energies being used in a facility in different sections, processes etc. E-sankey software is used to visualize the energy flows.
Power quality analysis at power receiving point (Utility company / In house Power Generation), LT Panels, and department wise Distribution Panels. i.e. (Harmonics, Surges, Swells, Current and Voltage Imbalance, Current Leakages, Power Factor, Active, Reactive Power and many more parameters with FLUKE 435 Power quality analyzer.
Thanks to patented Algorithm of Fluke 438, fiscal cost of energy waste due to poor power quality, such as Harmonics, low power factor, resistance of wires, unbalance current, is measured with great accuracy.
Mechanical efficiency of electrical motor can be measured with Fluke 438-II Power Quality and Motor Analyzer. Fluke 435 Series II Power Quality Analyzers. Quickly and easily measure and analyze key electrical and mechanical performance parameters such as power, harmonics, unbalance, motor speed, torque and mechanical power without the need of mechanical sensors.
With the help of thermal imaging camera, we can see what we cant see with naked eyes. Thermal imaging of electrical and mechanical system unveils many hot spots that can be catastrophic in the near future and causing energy loss.
Pumping system analysis includes measurement of water flow rate, pumps electrical power and specific power consumption (kW/m3). Moreover mass flow rate, heat exchanger performance, flow control techniques are evaluated.
Compressed air is the one of the most expensive utility of a facility. In this extensive part of an energy audit, following activates are executed.
- Efficiency Test (Capacity Test) of individual compressors.
- Measurement of Energy performance indicator (kW/m3/min) and baselining of all compressors individually and of the system as a whole. (Efficiency of air compressors).
- Measurement of compressed air demand of the facility, departments.
- Efficiency of air dryers (Dew Point Measurement)
- Compressor Air System Design Evaluation
- Compressor room layout analysis and redesigning (if needed).
- Pressure drop study across the entire air network for the checking of distribution system performance.
- Study of compressor control system/ running behavior and recommendations for potential savings.
- Ultrasonic air leaks detection and tagging.
- Quantification of air leaks by using ultrasonic leakage detector or Off-Line method.
- Energy cost calculation of air leakages.
- Prepare leakage management plan and training of staff.
- Identify saving opportunities in compressed air system.
Lighting system audit includes lux level survey, lighting control strategy, day light harvesting techniques a of the facility.
Different energy efficiency strategies are evaluated such as use of efficient lights, harvesting daylight, improving the control techniques, integration of smart controls , improvement of lux level for minimum requirement level as per labor laws.
Lighting system design by using simulation software such as Dialux can be done on customer requirement.
For the successful implementation of energy efficiency measures and energy management system, training of energy team and relevant staff plays a vital role. In this program, need based, customized training program is executed which comprises of onsite and classroom training session.
In this process, the control systems of all major energy using equipment and processes are evaluated for optimum operational controls. As a result, different energy efficiency measures, such as retrofitting the existing controls, installation of variable frequency drives, automation, process parameters optimization may be the part of action plan.
Chillers and other refrigeration system are evaluated for the energy performance. Energy and mass balance is calculated. Pumps and its controls are evaluated for best performance. The outcomes may be the automation, process control optimization and revision of its design.
Steam boilers are the integral part of many industries. Steam is the one the most expensive utility of a facility. Boilers are evaluated for its combustion and thermal efficiency, energy balance, operational controls and parameters, fuel quality, design etc. Different types of equipment are used in this analysis, such as Flue Gas Analyzer, Thermal Imager, pH Meter etc.
Different efficiency measures such as combustion optimization, automation of operational controls, waste heat recovery, better handling and maintenance etc. are the important part of action plan.
Boilers design evaluation is also done on demand.
Steam Distribution System. This includes the evaluation of steam distribution network for optimum performance, pipe sizes and network design is checked. Thermography of steam lines is carried out for insulation survey, steam traps are examined and steam control system is analyzed. steam flow rates, and efficiency of heat exchangers is determined.
Condensate Recovery System analysis includes the effectiveness of condensate collection system, flash steam generation and its handling, effective use of condensate in the system is evaluated.
Different energy saving opportunities are evaluated in steam and condensate system and are important part of action plan. 10- 20 % energy of steam system can be saved by implementing efficiency measures in a typical industry
Heating ovens, furnaces are evaluated for its best energy performance. Typically it includes combustion efficiency testing, thermography, flam control technique, operation controls and parameters analysis, heat and mass balance.
