Air Conditioning and Air Handing
Air conditioning and air handling are becoming very popular in Ireland as a means to maintain set temperatures in industry and as a means to maintain comfort conditions in offices and other areas. Air conditioning does not come cheap and with today’s rising energy costs, all alternatives should be considered before this more expensive option is adopted. There are also many energy saving opportunities that should be explored that will enable you to reduce operational costs of such systems – often by considerable amounts.

Compressed Air
Compressed air systems are widely used in industry,accounting for some 10% of all industrial electrical power consumption. There are many reasons why compressed air as a source of power is preferred over other forms of energy. It is clean to use, can be stored, and does not pose a health or fire hazard. Compressed air is a versatile, safe and the most common utility found in industry today. Compressed air is used as an energy source, a cleaning fluid, a source of conveying and even as a source for cooling.

Cooling water systems
Cooling water systems are a very important part of many industrial plants. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing lowgrade heat from processes as opposed to the more expensive options available such as artificial cooling using electric or absorption chillers.

Effluent treatment
All industrial processes manufacture products from raw materials with the help of various energy sources. The various stages in the manufacturing processes invariably produce unwanted by-products in the form of waste effluent streams of various concentrations and pollution potential. Solid wastes and gas wastes may also be produced.

High temperature cooling
Cooling High temperature cooling is cooling of a product or place that is initially above 10^oC and normally below ambient temperatures. This form of chilling provides cooling used for air conditioning applications and some industrial cooling systems as well as high temperature cooling chillers for process cooling. Although the ultimate aim may be to cool a room to 17^oC, the chiller plant may have to provide are frigerant temperature of 8-10^oC to do this, due to the many heat exchange circuits in between the refrigerant gasses and the final air to be cooled.

Lighting
Lighting systems offer extraordinary opportunities for cost effective energy savings. In addition, many strategies for reducing lighting energy use often can improve the working environment and increase productivity as a result. In many industries such as manufacturing, high levels of lighting are required and lighting energy costs can be high, typically 50% or more of the electricity bill. In such industries lighting improvements can often be the largest energy saving potential available.

Low temperature cooling
Low temperature cooling is the cooling of a process or area that is initially below 10^oC to a lower temperature. This form of cooling provides cooling used for many industrial processes and also for cold storage applications.

Motor and drives
Over half of all electrical energy consumed in Ireland is used by electric motors. Improving the efficiency of electric motors and the equipment they drive can save energy, reduce operating costs, and improve productivity.
