AA Jones Electric were contacted by a local water park owner, to discuss and then calculate potential energy savings on the existing 13 motor/pump sets ranging from 7.5kW to 55kW.
On average the pumps are operating 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, 51 weeks per year, with electricity costs on site at £0.49 per kWhr. We calculated and provided the pay back period through a technical report.
AA Jones Electric were successful in their tender working together with Peter Cribbin and Alec Byerley from TEC Drives. TEC commissioned all 13 inverters over a 2 day period to optimise performance. The new inverter drives are saving them approximately 20% in energy costs after they installed all 13 inverters and the pay back on the whole project will be 6 months. In the off peak season they have the option to reduce the speed on the pump sets even lower, with the potential to reduce running costs even more.
Alec went even further in his commitment to customer service and took his swimming trunks and tested out the water slides!! Pete declined and took pictures.
