Estudo de um programa de eficiência energética no processo produtivo na indústria metal mecânica

Abstract

Energy efficiency and sustainability are two issues that go together when it comes in the current economic aspect. Therefore is necessary the companies have special departments that work directly related to this theme. In this article will be shown the case of the segment mechanical metal company of the Northwest of the Rio Grande do Sul state. Through studies conducted by the maintenance area of the company, it was possible to develop 04 projects that think in energy efficiency and sustainability. The first project will show the case of using solar collectors to heat water in the company cafeteria. The second case relates to energy savings when using frequency inverters in compressors. The third case is related to electricity using photovoltaic microgeneration. The fourth and final event will show gains in replacing conventional light bulbs with LED technology lamps. Therefore it becomes increasingly important to have an independent area that can think of alternative energy, efficiency and also environmental issues.
