FNA 2022 - How to Save on Energy Costs

Join us on October 4th at the Furnaces North America 2022 show in Indianapolis, Indiana! David Pridmore will be presenting from 10:30 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. in Room 122 on how you can save on energy costs.

A clean energy revolution is taking place across America. IGBT’s reduce the congestion in power delivery which results in a smooth electrical delivery and reduces energy costs. This presentation takes a deep dive into understanding the power inefficiencies (and solutions) in a typical vacuum furnace used for heat treatment.

Key Takeaways:

• Evaluate typical electrical characteristics in a vacuum furnace
• Break down the system by components and discuss the electrical inefficiencies
• Discuss limitations of the predominant power supply technology
• Present solutions offered by IGBT type power supplies
• Review inefficiencies and solutions in a typical furnace model
