Retrofitting Strategy Replacement of traditional 3-speed FCU to variable speed FCU with permanent magnet motor
DC permanent magnet motor efficiency is often above 90%, allowing fans to consume up to 70% less energy when compared to conventional fans.


Consideration
  • Smart control thermostat can provide precise temperature control as well as automatic control of fan speed based on measured room temperature.
  • By using intelligent networking thermostats, more advanced energy saving strategies can be achieved such as interlocking with lighting control, remote control, occupancy detection, etc.
  • Installation of power meter for FCU electrical circuits
Estimated Saving

(SkW_FCUPRE  – SkW_FCUPOST) *OPHR,yr

Where  S kW_FCUPRE = (0.605*LFSM,PRE + 0.395* LFWN,PRE)*NFCUPRE*kW_FCUPRE

SkW_FCUPOST = (0.605*LFSM,POST + 0.395* LFWN,POST)*NFCUPOST*kW_FCUPOST

For CSD: LFSM = LFWN = 1,

For 3-speed: LFSM = 0.882 , LFWN = 0.717

For VSD: LFSM = 0.795, LFWN = 0.562;

For EC or DC-motor: LFSM = 0.71, LFWN = 0.38

OPHR,yr = hr/day*day/wk*52
