1
Existing system evaluation
Air velocity measurement at main duct
Air velocity measurement at each outlet
Negative pressure drop at each outlet
CFM calculation on the computer
Possible savings based on system calculations
   
2
Power consumption, motor
Motor power (kW, kVA), voltage, current, power factor measurement
Motor evaluation (producer, insulation evaluation, efficiency, how old is motor)
Motor compatibility with inverter
Overload protection evaluation, control box evaluation (control of bag house, how they start and stop system)
Power system evaluation (voltage, phase, grounding)
Power utility company: utility account, rate schedule, electric usage, electric peak
Incentive evaluation: large or small business, incentive availability
Working hours evaluation: per day, per week, per year, holidays, inventory, irregularity,...
   
3
Layout of the existing system
Layout of the existing facility (computer CAD drawing)
Workstation numbering, outlets layout
Fan placements, power distribution placement
Duct system layout
   
4
Project of ECOGATE System
Changes in ducting system (YES/NO), layout, eliminating some fans proposals
Placement of new equipment (computer, inverter, blast gates, sensors, cables)
Cable list, length of cables calculations, placement of cables
Placement of negative pressure sensors
Selecting the type of control computer, types of inverters
Sensor types selection, how they will be installed, connection to workstation
Selecting blast gate types for each workstation, placement of the blast gates
Existing hydraulic blast gate evaluation
At CNC machinery: based on existing documentation determine connection to CNC computer
Power installation schematic diagram
Low voltage installation schematic diagram
Type of mechanical lift needed for installation (scissor type, other type)
Working schedule: holidays, weekends, permission to work over time
Computer calculation for ECOGATE System setup
ECOGATE System maintenance table
Contact persons at customer site (work permission, electrical, facility manager)
   
5
Quotation
Cost of power installation
Cost of low voltage installation
Cost of blast gate installation
Cost of other services
In case of ducting change, cost evaluation
