Fan Retrofitting Efficiency Improvements

The document discusses retrofitting fans at various industrial plants to improve efficiency. It provides before and after retrofit performance data for fans at multiple cement and other plants. Retrofitting generally involved replacing impellers, shafts, and inlet cones. This improved efficiency from an average of 60% before to over 75% after, while also often increasing capacity and decreasing power consumption. Retrofitting provided significant savings on energy costs and short payback periods of less than 5 months on average.

Client : Manikgarh

Cement

Saving in, power consumed for a period of one year,


considering at Rs. 4.50 per kW for 7000 operating hours.
(252-165) x 7000 x 4.50 = Rs. 27,40,500/Therefore average saving in power for one month
=
=

Rs. 27,40,500.00 / 12
Rs. 2,28,375.00

Return on investment = 10,00,000/2,28,375 = 4.37 Months.
