Energy Efficiency

With the growing concern about rapidly increasing energy costs due to world events and climate change, many industries are focused on reducing energy costs. For a factory manager, reducing overall costs at a production facility is of paramount importance. This is especially true of industries that intensively use vacuum applications. In most modern industrial production facilities vacuum applications are the most used utility. Moreover, the fact is vacuum applications are also one of the largest consumers of energy.

Given this reality, energy efficiency associated with the vacuum applications production chain has a significant impact on both power utility costs and the environment. One answer is the use of renewable energy sources and technologies.

The more immediate way to reduced environmental impact is improved energy efficiency. For any industrial application or production facility there are ways to lower their carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency.

Atlas Copco is an industrial vacuum pump manufacturer, that develops vacuum pumps that run efficiently because we understand the needs of the industries we serve. Whatever the application, we provide suitable vacuum pumps, solutions and service. As a leading innovator in the industrial vacuum pump market, we have a continued focus on vacuum pump efficiency that translates into energy and running cost savings for our customers. Our vacuum pump technology is the starting point in providing a total vacuum solution for dedicated point-of-use machines and central vacuum systems.

To keep it simple, for Atlas Copco Vacuum energy efficiency means doing more or achieving more with less. There are two ways to approach this; either a machine is energy efficient when it delivers the same performance using lesser energy or a machine works better than before with the same amount of energy. Is there a newer way to analyze and measure energy efficiency? How does an energy efficient product affect the production and operational efficiency of the entire production line or even the entire factory?
