Applications: Publishing
Press and publishing facilities produce significant peak demand levels due to the large printing presses and associated usage. As a result, they are excellent candidates for implementation of the automated peak load management system from Powerit Solutions. Printing facilities significantly reduce their peak demand charges by using the Energy Director to manage a number of non-production facility loads to shed power and offset the peaks caused during press runs. As a result operating costs are reduced without impacting building comfort, production or safety.
