Chiller Depicting Filter with Stainless Steel Housing

I recently read an article in Machine Design magazine titled “Tips to Improve Energy Efficiency.” [1] The article, written by Thomas Dwyer of Bosch Rexroth, highlighted the importance of right-sizing components and systems for energy efficiency. The article was specifically geared towards right-sizing of pneumatics, but right-sizing is important in all industries and applications. Designers sometimes oversize components in order to build in a margin of safety. However, as Dwyer pointed out, this safety factor can add quite a bit to the cost of operating your system. What may be less obvious, perhaps, is how this safety factor can also add significantly to the cost of designing, manufacturing, or shipping your component or system, as well as to the indirect cost of taking up valuable real estate.  In a recent application note we talk about the importance of selecting the right technology, conserving real estate, reducing weight and transportation costs, and saving energy…Read Application Note
