SavaControls - Voltage Management and Optimisation Units
According to the Energy Efficiency Office, refrigeration and air-conditioning (a/c) is the biggest single user of electricity in the United Kingdom with over £3 billion worth used for these purposes by commercial and domestic users. The refrigeration industry has, to date, been reticent in discussing the exact running costs of their equipment, although worthwhile improvements have and are being made to improve the efficiency of plant, no particularly effective method of reducing costs has been offered. Now, after many years of continual development, electronic technology is available for use on most refrigeration and a/c equipment in the form of the patent protected savacontrols. savacontrols provide a viable solution to reduce running costs and are extremely cost-effective with installation paybacks frequently well within two years.

Facts
According to the Energy Efficiency Office, refrigeration and air-conditioning (a/c) is the biggest single user of electricity in the United Kingdom with over £3 billion worth used for these purposes by commercial and domestic users. The refrigeration industry has, to date, been reticent in discussing the exact running costs of their equipment, although worthwhile improvements have and are being made to improve the efficiency of plant, no particularly effective method of reducing costs has been offered. Now, after many years of continual development, electronic technology is available for use on most refrigeration and a/c equipment in the form of the patent protected SavaControls. SavaControls provide a viable solution to reduce running costs and are extremely cost-effective with installation paybacks frequently well within two years.
how do they work?
SavaControls work by reducing the power when the motor is under part load, but still maintain the same speed, offering substantial savings but enabling instant power availability should full load be required. Motors do not constantly require the same power, an uncontrolled motor will keep on drawing full power. Many systems are also designed with unnecessarily large motors to provide a safety margin, and so produce even more waste.
SavaControls constantly monitor the motor load by comparing relative phase angles and the back emf. At part load, the apparent voltage to the motor is reduced by cutting the power up to 100 times every second reducing magnetisation losses and drawing much less current. SavaWatt offers a range of units, including single and three phase controls to handle up to 250 amps per phase.
A report from the Cranfield Institute of Technology states “The results of these tests showed a considerable reduction in the power consumption in a low load situation... The maximum reductions observed approached 40%...” Other tests have shown reductions of as much as 50% in electricity consumption, but in real life applications average saving are 20% on single phase, and 15% on three phase systems.
Applications
SavaControls can be fitted onto almost any AC induction motor. These are found on things like:
- Refrigeration
- Air-Conditioning units
- Rocks Crushers
- escalators,
- conveyor belts
- mixing machines
How can they help you?
If your business has equipment with AC induction motors such as refrigeration or airconditioning equipment, energy costs are likely to be one of your major overheads. SavaControls, can give you substantial and continuing savings in your electricity bills, without replacing your existing equipment. As well as saving you money SavaControls will effectively also reduce your carbon footprint.
As well as savings money and energy, SavaControls also protect your valuable equipment by reducing energy wastage in electric motors running at low load. But they do not affect the motor’s output nor impair the performance of the equipment in any way by virtually eliminating wasted power. On refrigeration for example SavaControls ensure that refrigeration units run cooler and with less vibration, enhancing motor life and reducing noise.
SavaControls pay for themselves from day one, by making immediate savings in energy costs. The controls effectively pay for themselves in most cases within a few years. The typical return is normally between 40-50% in the first year, offering an attractive and rapid return on investmen
how are they fitted?
All SavaControls are installed exclusively by our own team of trained engineers. SavaControls have a remarkably high level of reliability of better than 99.2% and each carries a full two year guarantee, extendible to five years. Technical advice is always available and on-site support can be arranged at short notice if required. SavaControls are effectively “fit and forget” technology.
In addition SavaControls have been performance evaluated by a variety of customers on a wide range of applications. Since SavaControls were originally conceived an extensive Research and Development programme has taken place ensuring improvement in both design and manufacturing. The unique saving techniques used by SavaControls are also patent protected. SavaControl users with these applications include The Inland Revenue, Superdrug Stores plc, Royal Mail, Nationwide, Manchester United, BP together with many Universities and Hospitals.
