Energy Efficiency: Optimizing the Air-Power Equation
In your energy efficiency programs, don't overlook air-pollution control and ventilation systems, which account for more than 25% of CPI energy consumption on average
Gerry Lanham, KBD/Technic, Inc.
The cost to power fans and ventilators in the chemical process industries (CPI) is a significant consideration in efficient system design.
