FortaCool Variable Speed Energy Savings

    FortaCool® Variable Speed Compressor Racks are proven to be 20-50% more efficient than conventional systems, resulting in
enormous energy savings for our customers. The Key to our energy savings is the use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s)
    Our Variable Speed Drives control the speed of the motor as needed, bringing the motor to operating speed by soft starting it over a period of 30 to 45 seconds, resulting in more energy efficient compressors.
    Variable Speed Drives lower power bills because the compressors only run at the speed necessary to match the refrigeration loads and greatly reduced demand charges because the compressors are “soft started”
    Over 500% of normal running power is needed to start Conventional motors, resulting in a power “spike”  with high “demand charges” which can have a considerable effect on the electric bill.
    Conventional motors come to operating speed from a dead stop to 1800 or even 3600rpm within one second, putting significant physical stress on the motor, causing more failures and maintenance costs.
