We are all increasingly living in a lower carbon economy. Emissions standards are increasingly important and issues such as Cap and Trade programs are beginning to become an operational reality. The IQ has been designed with these issues in mind. Typically speaking, up to 78% of the total life cycle cost of an industrial blower is utility consumption. Producing the energy required to operate the blower will typically generate up to 400 tons of carbon per year. Gardner Denver has developed several features on the IQ that make it considerably more efficient than a standard offering and, in turn, can reduce annual carbon output by up to 25% or 100 tons per unit. The IQ Blower package can incorporate many energy saving features including:
- TEFC EPAct High Efficiency Motor 3 to 5% more efficient than standard
- Integrated Variable Frequency Drives (inside the package) that turn individual blowers up and down in conjunction with demand
- Gardner Denver Air Smart control systems for programmable control and operational efficiency
Remote monitoring capabilities
- Package sequencing capabilities that allow blowers to be turn on and off in sequence as dictated by overall facility demand
Gardner Denver is an Energy Star Partner and is committed to developing products and introducing technologies that help conserve energy and protect the environment.
