N. Schlumberger is modelling the energy efficiency of its machines
N. Schlumberger performed a full energy audit of a stretch breaker. The simulation made it possible to better understand the influence of some settings and to identify areas of improvement.
As a sign of our times, the energy efficiency of machinery is now a selection criterion for industrial decision-makers. N. Schlumberger, a manufacturer of machines for the textile, environment and energy sectors, is fully aware of this requirement. Therefore, the company commissioned Cetim to analyse its new textile stretch breaker.
“Customers want to know the energy cost per metric ton produced, explains Marc Domas, manager of electrical studies at N. Schlumberger. We therefore commissioned Cetim to perform a study in order to more accurately determine the capacities involved and examine the areas for improvement.”
In the scope of the Capme’Up programme, initiated as part of the “Investissements d’avenir” (“investments of the future”) project, the modelling of the entire power transmission chain was then undertaken and measurements (torque, force, temperature and electrical power) were recorded on an instrumented machine.
The model was used to analyse the influence of some settings such as band speed, on the operation of the stretch breaker. It also helped to identify the power and loss paths through the transmission components.
