Abstract
The majority of industrial processes are served
by support systems (process heating, process cooling,
etc) which have energy savings opportunities which
can be divided into two distinct categories:
Shutdown savings and operating point savings. It has
been repeatedly demonstrated at large industrial
facilities that introducing even a short idle mode on
process support systems can generate paybacks of
less than a year, and operating point changes often
pay for themselves in a matter of months. This paper
will serve to identify the potential in rotating
equipment savings by either introducing an idle mode
or matching the operating point of rotating equipment
to the process requirement.
