1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Preamble
Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in creation of local
employment and there by increase in regional income. Effective and Efficient utilization of
raw material, thermal and electrical energy becomes imperative for their sustenance as they
work on low profit margins. Moreover, the production processes in SMEs are based on
technology concepts, which sometimes tend to become inefficient in a long run. The
inefficient plant utilization and excessive use of raw material, fuel & energy also contribute to
exceeding levels of energy intensities and environmental loads. Excessive utilization of
thermal and electrical energy also impacts the regional energy balance and has direct
impact on the local power utility and availability of fuel resources. It also impedes the
improvement of productivity of local enterprises and the economic development of
communities at large.
Energy efficiency and conservation issues in Industrial Clusters are traditionally dealt with
addressing the issues at an individual unit level, which is a discrete approach to resolve
energy problems. Most of the energy consumption is unevenly distributed and is larger in a
cumulative context among small enterprises. Due to low incomes and non-availability of
immediate and next to door solutions, the SMEs continue to draw and use excessive energy
in a business-as-usual scenario. The uneven use of energy resources have a toll on the
investments and erode the competitiveness of the SMEs. The paradigm of addressing
energy security issues at a local level, and in particular the SME level has now shifted to
energy efficiency improvements with a Cluster Approach. This enables augmenting the
forward and backward linkages to the SME units, developing the skill capabilities of the
SMEs to go for energy efficiency improvements, technology up gradation and market
development by linking the Local Service Providers (LSPs) and financial linkages with the
local Banks / Financial Institutions in augmenting loans for investments in energy efficiency
projects.
In this context, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has initiated the Small & Medium
Enterprise (SME) Program in twenty-five clusters in the country to address the energy
efficiency and overall productivity improvements.

1.2 About the BEE-SME Program
The Government of India has set up The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the
provisions of Energy Conservation Act, 2001. The mission of the BEE is to assist in
developing policies and strategies with a thrust on self-regulation and market principles
within the overall framework of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 with the primary objective
of reducing energy intensity by active participation of all stakeholders, resulting in
accelerated and sustained adoption of energy efficiency in all sectors. The objective of the
BEE SME Energy Efficiency program is to accelerate the adoption of Energy Efficiency (EE)
technologies and practices in the chosen SME clusters through knowledge sharing, capacity
building and development of innovative financing mechanisms. Further information is
available at www.bee-india.nic.in. There are 29 clusters identified under the BEE- SMEs
Program, these are as follows:

BEE-SME program is one of the activities to improve the energy efficiency in SME clusters
across the selected industrial clusters. The broad objective of the BEE-SME program is to
improve the energy intensity of the Indian economy by undertaking actions in the SME
sector which directly or indirectly produce 60% of the GDP. Majority of SMEs in these
clusters are run by the manufacturers who dont have skilled manpower and who can
practice energy efficiency programs for conservation of energy. The awareness of energy
conservation in these areas is minimal which also affects the manufacturing cost.
Therefore, it will be useful to build their energy efficiency awareness and through studies
give energy conservation recommendations including identification of technology up-
gradation opportunities and demonstration of the same. This would help to address the
cluster specific problems and enhancing energy efficiency in SME Clusters.
These studies would provide information on technology status, best operating practices,
gaps in skills and knowledge, energy conservation opportunities, energy saving potential,
capacity building of local service providers and entrepreneurs/ managers etc for each of the
sub sector in SMEs. For each cluster, an executing agency has entrusted with this activity.
APITCO Limited selected as executing agency by the BEE in Ice Making Units in
Bhimavaram, West Godavari District to execute the project. The main objective of the
implementing agency is to accelerate the adoption of Energy Efficiency Technologies and
practices in cluster through knowledge sharing, capacity building and development of
innovative financial mechanisms. The main role of the executive agency is to facilitate the
implementation of project activities in the SMEBEE Ice milling cluster activities suggested
by BEE.
Natural resources like Coal, natural gas, kerosene, diesel and coal used to generate energy.
Energy here refers to electrical or thermal energy, which is produce by natural energy
resources. Fuel is burnt to produce thermal energy for the process requirement. Whereas,
electric energy is converted to mechanical energy through electric motors for moving,
blending, crushing, compressing or any form of displacement activity.
In some end-uses (electrical equipments or appliances) electricity is converted to thermal

energy according to industrial process requirements. Electricity is generated by thermal
3
energy and delivered to end-users through a transmission and distribution system. Using
electricity to produce thermal energy is not a wise decision. This is because a lot of energy
has already been lost during the generation, submission and distribution. Producing thermal
energy using electricity will further increase the losses. More energy can be saved if fuel is
used to directly produce thermal energy near to the end-use. This line of thinking relates to
the phrase 'energy efficiency' in the title above.
If the term efficiency alone is used in the technical world, then the definition refers to
performance of a particular machine or a system. It indicates how much quality output is
obtained after deducting the losses in the system. This figure will be normally given in
percentage form. When the word 'energy' is added to the word 'efficiency', then the whole
perspective changes and a new definition is born.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
As we have seen the importance of the Energy Efficiency (EE), and the encouragement
given by the government in urging private and government institutions towards the
realization of energy security in India, it is worth to investigate the potential of implementing
Energy Efficiency (EE) options in Ice Making Units in Bhimavaram. In view of this, the
objectives of this work were structured as below.
To carry out energy and technology audit in the Ice Units, to identify the energy
efficiency measures
To provide guidelines to other industries on EE measures on no cost, low-cost,

medium-cost and high cost EE measures illustrated by a case study .
To identify local service providers and their capacity building in technology

augmentation
To develop bankable Detailed Project Reports for Energy Efficiency Measures
To link up financial institutions to the SMEs for implementation of EE Measures
Capacity building of all local stakeholders in EE in Ice Milling Cluster.
1.4 Activities and Expected Outcome

From the Above table it is observed that specific energy consumption by category-I ice
plants is 83 kWh/ton and Category-II is 102 kWh/ton, Category-III is 114 kWh/ton and
category0-IV is 118 kWh/ton of Ice. The difference of specific energy consumption is due to
% utilization of Ice Making Units, Daily Production and Diesel Consumption.
2.3 Production Process in Ice Making
Raw water is pumped from local available water bodies such as pond / stream through
raw water pump to overhead tank . This raw water from overhead tank is filled into the ice
cans.
The production area of the plant has an Ice tank made of concrete. The ice tank contains
the direct expansion coils, equally distributed throughout the tank and these coils are
submerged in brine solution. The tank is provided with a suitable frame of hard wood for
support the ice cans and a propeller or agitator for keeping the brine in motion: the brine in
14
the tank acts as a medium of contact only, the ammonia evaporating in the ice coils extracts
the heat from the brine, which again absorbs the heat for the water in the cans.
The dimensions of the can and the temperature of the brine are usually selected to give a
freezing period of between 30-36 hours. Too rapid freezing results in brittle ice. The Ice
block weight is more than 100 kg, depending on requirements. The thicker the block is the
longer the freezing time. The size of the tank required is related to the daily production
capacity.
Water is chilled for 48 hours for complete ice block formation. The Sp. gravity of brine is
maintained at 1180 by adding salt of required quantity. Ice cans of fully formed ice blocks
are removed from the chilling tank. The cans are emptied of the ice blocks and replaced into
the chilling tank with water for the next batch. The removed ice blocks are further cursed into
smaller pieces by ice crushers and loaded into plastic crates for transportation. As shown in
Figure 3.1 for ice making by vapor compression cycle it includes the following four main
sections:
Compressor unit.
Condenser Unit.
Expansion Unit.
Evaporator Unit

Brief description of the different process involved in the ice making industry is discussed
below:-
1. Compressor unit: This is composed of a motor and compressor set where the
electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy in the form of compression
stroke which results in increasing the temperature (greater than 150oC) and high
pressure of the refrigerant (NH3)
2. Condenser Unit: Here the high temperature refrigerant coming from the condenser
unit is allowed to cool down in a heat exchanger by the help of cooling tower. The
temperature drops down from 159oC to 40oC.
3. Expansion Unit: Here the refrigerant is allowed to expand in the expansion tank,
which results in a sudden drop in temperature and pressure. The temperature
suddenly drops below (-10oC) which is then fed into the evaporator.
4. Evaporator tank: It is a heat exchanger where the heat transfer medium is brine
solution, which is field in the tank. This solution is continuously being agitated with an
electrical agitator for proper mixing of the temperature. The time cycle for ice
formation is around 24 36 hours it depends on the system performance of different
pants.
The cans are manually or crane lifted and transports to a thawing tank at the end of the
freezing tank, where they are submerged in water to release the ice from the moulds. In
some cases, it is crushed for packing purposes.

loans related to the Industry, salaries, raw material and other services to the Owners,
employees.
The following banks are exists in the ice making Cluster to provide the services line loans,
working capital and salaries to the employees in the cluster.

The relation ship among the Ice making Industry owners and the financial institutions are
good.
2.4.3 Government Institutions:
The Government institutions play a major role in the cluster from the establishment to the
operation of the installed plants. The following institutions play a vital role in the Ice making
17
cluster, Bhimavaram to register the ice plants and avail different schemes related to the Ice
plants.
Industries Department (District Industries Center)

Dept of Income Tax
Dept of Labor
APEPDCL
Factories department
2.5 Issues related to Energy Use and Conservation
The following issues are identified while interacting with the Ice plants owners and the other
institutions during the technology Audit.
2.5.1 Availability of Electrical Energy:
All the Ice plants required electrical energy to operate the equipments installed in their
plants. These ice plants draw electrical energy from the APEPDCL by registering their plants
with contract maximum demand. There is shortage of energy supply during the summer
season from the APEPDCL. Due to the power off situation in the plants the ice plants
owners are utilizing the DG Sets to generate the power and run the equipments.
So far there have not been any issues related to long term failure of power or diesel supply.
As the Ice plants are energy dependent, there is a vast opportunity for savings of energy in
every Ice Plant operation in various capacities in the cluster. The ice plants are depending
on the electricity. In the cluster energy conservation awareness and conscious is required
among the Ice plants Owners and operators to conserve the energy. There is huge scope of
Energy conservation in the Ice plants by utilizing the energy efficient motors and pumps
instead of normal motors, pumps and re winded motors several times.
One more opportunity in the ice making plants is to install the flack ice /cube ice plants
where the crushed ice/ domestic requirements. The flack/cube ice plant consumes less
energy compare to the block ice plants.
2.5.2 Technological Issues
The other major issue in the Ice Plant is identification of the right technology and
equipments based on the requirements in the marketing the finished products from the
plant.
18
In the Ice Plants the ice production is mainly with the operation of compressor and motors
and pumps. The ice plant owners in the cluster not aware of energy efficient equipments are
neither available nor implemented to their plants. However, the first change is still a
challenge, upon success, later on duplication and adaptation is extremely common in the
cluster. The technologies need to be demonstrated within the cluster to create awareness.
During visits and technology audit in the plant, many plant owners interested to adopt the
energy efficient technologies to their plants.
2.5.3 Financial Issues
The plant owners have good contacts with the local banks to avail a loans and other
services from the bank based on their transactions with the banks.
Among the SMEs, the larger units, if convinced, are capable of either financing themselves
or get the finance from their banks. The smaller units will require loan at comfortable rates
and other support to raise the loan. However, as most of them have been able to expand
their setup and grow, there is a readiness to spend for energy efficiency technologies which
have good payback periods. Energy Efficiency Financing Schemes such as that of SIDBIs,
if focused on the cluster, will play a catalytic role in implementation of identified energy
conservation projects & technologies. The cluster has significant potential of implementing
the Energy efficient equipments in the ice plants
2.5.4 Manpower related issues
The Ice plants in Bhimavaram, all the plants required limited skilled and unskilled
manpower. But the skilled man power required for training on operation and maintenance of
the equipments in the Ice plants.
In Ice making cluster at Bhimavaram, availability of skilled and trained manpower is one of
the limitations. Number of Ice plants units has grown fast as compared to the availability of
skilled manpower. Few local electrical persons are catering services of electrical equipments
during the failure in many ice plants. For major equipments like Refrigeration Compressor,
condensers in the plants etc. are maintenance and repair is take care by the equipment
suppliers themselves. The units have age-old inefficient practices and well-experienced non-
qualified staff in these industries. Even if the qualified staff joins for the sake of experience
and jump to other industry after getting sufficient experience this is because of low salaries.
Specialized and focused training of the local service providers on better operation and
maintenance of the equipments, importance of the energy and its use and energy
19
conservation measures will improve awareness among the unit owners and workforce.
Original equipment suppliers should also participate in these programs.
2.5.5 Technology and Service Provider related issues
Many of the new technology providers have not shown keen interest for implementation of
their new innovative technologies due to higher price by the SMEs in Bhimavaram.
The service providers in the Ice Making Cluster, Bhimavaram are available in the radius of
150 to 200 kms and are mainly from important cities such as Vijaywada and Hyderabad.
Bhimavaram is well connected by rail, road, and rail to both cities. Few of the service
providers have their activities in Bhimavaram to provide the service to the ice plants. The list
of Local Service and Technology providers are presented in the Annexure.

3 ENERGY AUDIT AND TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
3.1 Energy audit and Technology Assessment
The methodology adopted for BEE-SME Cluster program is presented below.
3.1.1 Energy Audit and Technology Assessment in Cluster:
Energy audit is a systematic study or survey to identify how energy is being used in a
building, a plant, and identify the energy saving opportunities. Using proper audit methods
and equipments, an energy audit provides essential information of energy consumption
pattern in each process and how energy being used with in a plant/ industry. This will
indicate the performance at the process level or overall plant. Based on information by
energy audit, energy manager/ management can compare these performances against past
and future levels for proper energy management. The energy audit report contains energy
conservation opportunities and energy savings proposals comprising of technical and
economic analysis of projects.
The viable energy conservation opportunities and energy saving proposals is then
transformed into energy savings projects. It will facilitate the energy manager/management
to draw up an action plan listing the projects in order of priority. He will then present it to the
organizations management for approval. Providing tangible data enables the management
to be at a better position to appreciate and decide on energy efficiency projects. Adopting
this activity as a routine or part of the organizations culture gives life to energy management,
and controlling the energy use by energy audit is what we refer to as Energy Management
by facts.
Pre-Energy Audit Study: The Methodology adopted for pre - energy audit activities is as
follows:
Based on the situation analysis data provided by BEE on Ice making Plants in
Bhimavaram, the activities were evolved and planned accordingly. Two to three Ice
plants are visited and observed in detail to get deeper understanding of the energy
issues in the industry before starting the work.

measures and identified 15 technologies for preparation of DPRs
Benefits of Energy Audit: Detailed Energy audits in cluster indicate massive potential for
energy savings in every sub-sector of industry with an average of almost ten percent of the
energy usage. However, this can only materialize through replication in other factories within
the respective industry sub-sector.
The results are bound to create a positive impact to the industries as well as the national
economy and the environment. By saving energy in industries can reduce the emission of
Green House Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere.

efficiency and % utilization of the plant.
3.2.3 Availability
At the cluster level, the total energy consumption by ice plants and availability of energy is
assed based on information collected in the cluster. Table 3.5. give about the total energy
consumption details and availability of energy is presented below.
Table 3.5: Energy Consumption and Availability in Cluster
S.No Category Unit Quantity /Year Availability
1 Electricity kWh 38410897 Available from APEPDCL
2 Diesel Ltrs 762220 Available from Oil Companies
27
The total Electrical energy consumption by the cluster units per annum is 38.41 Million kWh
and the power tariff is 3.75 /kWh which is procured from the APEPDCL. The diesel
requirement is 762 kL and the cost is 38.90 /liter.
3.2.4 Capacity Utilization Factor
The Capacity utilization factor at the plant level and at the equipment level is described
below.
Plant Level
The capacity utilization in the Ice plants located in Bhimavaram is depends upon the market
requirements of Prawn Export. Based on market requirements the formed ice is removed
from the cans and market it. The only empty cans are filled with raw water. If the Market is
low the formed ice in the cans are not removed and the plant is not operated fully.
Equipments Level
The equipments in the Ice plant is mainly Refrigeration Compressor, Condenser Water
Pump (Optional), Raw Water Pump and Agitator. The main equipment in the Ice plant is
Refrigeration motor. The Ice production mainly depends upon the no of stages operation of
the Refrigeration compressor Pistons. If one or Two compressor pistons stopped that means
the ice formation is required in only few Ice cans and other Ice cans filled with Ice formation.
3.2.5 Good house Keeping and Miscellaneous
The others factors which will influence the higher energy consumption in Ice making plants
are as below.
Leakages: Ensure to refrigerant in process should not leak from the pipes and compressors
and other parts in process.
Refrigeration Compressors: check the refrigerant charge and seals regularly for correct
charging and leaks during the process. This will help to arrest refrigerants leaks during
process and improve the refrigeration effect in Ice plant.
Others: Insulation in pipes is one of the energy saving option to reduce the energy loss
during the process. Proper insulation to the pipes at evaporation inlet and out let will
increase the refrigerant effect.
3.2.6 Data and Information availability
The availability of data and information pertaining to energy procurement and consumption
is available in some of the cluster units. However the production data is not available as it is
kept confidential.
28
3.2.7 Any other aspects

Majority of the machine operators and helpers deployed in the cluster units are non
technical and illiterates and had been taken based on the past experience and do not have
any technical skills and knowledge on energy conservation. This is also one of factor for the
inefficiency of the process and energy losses.
3.3. Technology Gap Analysis in Ice Making Plants
All the Ice Making plants in the Cluster are using the Same Refrigeration Compressors with
different installed Capacities. The specific energy consumption is varies and it was above
the manufactures specifications. This is due to the operation of the compressors, motors
and pumps. Various technological gaps were identified in the units and these may be due to
lack of awareness of technologies available in the market, lack of knowledge in tapping the
potential from saving of energy losses and its monetary benefit, lack of awareness among
the workforce.
Thus, the study has found small changes in equipments and lighting system required to be
introduced in the cluster. It requires only a retrofit of equipments to the existing machinery
so as to make energy consuming components of the machinery efficient and also use of
automatic to ensure precise process control. In the Ice Making Units in Bhimavaram the
following Technology Gaps are identified during the Technology and Energy Audit.
3.3.1 Technology up gradation
There is a tremendous need for the industry to modernize/upgrade its technology and adopt
energy efficient technologies in some of the areas. Further, as per the discussions made
with the management, they are interested to adopt the energy efficient motors in their Ice
Plants. The sector also faces deficiencies such as the lack of access to technology and
technology sharing and the inadequacies of strong organizational structure, professional
attitude etc. There are many technologies and energy efficient equipments available in the
market which can be sourced from local service providers dealing in these technologies.
3.3.2 Technology Gaps
The difference in existing technology and the technology as needed to improve the energy
efficiency in the units is discussed here. The gap between the supply and pull of technology
has to be reduced through the linkages of local service providers in terms of energy efficient
systems in the units.
29
Energy Efficient Motors: Motors are installed in the Ice plants to operate the Refrigeration
compressors and agitators. Based on detailed studies in the Ice Plants, all the motors in the
compressors are inefficient which found between 75-90% operating Efficiency and few
motors are several times re winded. The reasons for such low efficiencies are mainly, low
loading of the compressor due to less amount of Ice formation and low efficiency of motors.
Now a days energy efficient motors are available at least 95 % of efficiency in the market
with latest technology. By implementing the energy efficient motors in the compressors,
agitators there will be tremendous energy savings in the Ice plants due to continuous
operation of compressors and agitators in the Ice plants.
Energy Efficient Water Pumps: Water pumps are required to pump the raw after into the
Ice cans for the formation of the Ice and also Compressor Cooling. The compressor cooling
required continuously while refrigeration is in operation and Raw Water pump will operate
during the filling of the Ice cans. During the study of the water pumps, it is observed that the
efficiency of the Water pump and motor is very low in some Ice plants and in some ice
plants the pump are installed at over sized. To over come the efficiency of the pumps and
motors it is required to install the energy efficient pumps which have more that 30%
efficiency compare to the present pumps. This will help to reduce the energy consumption in
the ice plants.
Tube Ice Plants: Few Ice Plants are using the Ice Crushers to crush the Ice into pieces as
per client requirements. It is essential to install the Ice Crusher in the Ice plants. The Block
Ice having the Specific Energy consumption is very high compare to the tube ice plants even
though as per the manufacturers specifications. The tube ice plants specific energy
consumption in the range of 55-60 kWh/Ton which comparatively very low as bloc Ice plants
which have the specific energy consumption i.e. 80-85 kWh/Ton. It is best suited to install
the tube Ice plants in the Cluster to minimize the energy loss. These tube Ice plants can
install where the Block Ice is required to cut in to pieces.
Energy Efficient Lighting System: In the Ice Plants runs through out the day in operation
requires illumination in the night times and also in few plants requires day time also. Majority
of the Ice plants are utilizing the Conventional tube lights in their plants. The conventional
tube lights have 52 W capacities.
At present scenario in the Lighting system, energy efficient lighting systems are available
with low energy consumption with better illumination levels. By adopting the Energy Efficient
30
systems in the ice plants, longer life of the lights, better illumination and energy savings is
possible in the Ice plants.
3.4 Energy Conservation measures
3.4.1 Install Energy Efficient Motor for Refrigeration Compressor

Installation of Energy Efficient Motor is one of the Technology/equipment identified in Ice
Making Cluster, Bhimavaram to reduce energy consumption in Ice plants. The major energy
consumed in all the Ice plants is by compressor motor. The details of Technical and
Financial viability of replacing energy efficient compressor motor with existing inefficient
motor in Ice making cluster at Bhimavaram is discussed below.
Background
All Ice plants require motor to operate Refrigeration compressor to compress the refrigerant.
The compressor motor operated continuously till Ice formed. The major energy/power
consumption in Ice plant is depends on compressor motor which having higher capacity. If
compressor motor has higher efficiency at full and part load conditions, the total power
consumption and specific energy consumption in Ice plant will be reduced.
During the energy use and technology audit in ice plants in Bhimavaram, many compressor
Motors are inefficient and several times re winded. Due to the reason power consumption
and specific energy consumption in ice making plants are high compared to the bench mark
of manufacturer specifications. The efficiency of Motor is lower compare to Energy Efficient
Motor (EEF1). By installing Energy Efficient Motor in compressor will result considerable
energy savings and there by reduction in production cos
Energy Conservation Potential
The Energy Efficient Motor (EEF1) has higher efficiency while operating in part and full load
conditions comparing with inefficient or EEF2 motor. The efficiency of EEF1 i.e.93.9% than
that of normal motor i.e.85-90%. If the efficiency of motor increases, power consumption will
reduce at both part and full load conditions. By installing energy efficient compressor motor
in ice plants at least 10% energy savings can achieve during the plant operation.
Technical Specifications
The proposed Energy conservation in Ice plant by installing 60HP Energy Efficient
compressor motor with inefficient /re winded motor is considered.
31
The Technical Specification of proposed energy efficient 60 HP compressor motor is

presented below.

Fig No 3.5 Energy Efficient Compressor Motors
It is observed that the efficiency of the energy efficient compressor motor has higher
efficiency compared to the existing motor in the cluster.
Availability of Technology /Equipment
The Energy Efficient Motors are available and manufacturing in India by the few major
companies. These companies are marketing their products through directly or dealers with
in Andhra Pradesh. Majority dealers/ suppliers for these equipments are located in
Hyderabad, Vijayawada and few in Bhimavaram. Ice making plants owners can avail these
equipments from Vijayawada/Hyderabad/Bhimavaram by ordering. The details of
manufacturers and suppliers marketing these energy efficient motors are presented in
Annexure-2.
32
Cost Benefit Analysis
Any Energy conservation proposal/project requires cost benefit analysis to implement in

motor to operate agitator which has higher efficiency. The details of Technical and Financial
viability of replacing energy efficient motor in agitator with existing inefficient motor in Ice
making cluster at Bhimavaram is discussed below.

Background
All Ice plants require agitator to circulate brain solution continuously in ice tank. The agitator
motors consume electrical energy while in operation. The agitator and compressor motor
operated continuously till Ice formed. If the agitator motor is inefficient, power consumption
will high.
During the energy use and technology audit in ice plants in Bhimavaram, all agitator motors
are normal efficiency compare to energy efficient motors. To reduce the power consumption
by the agitator motor it is essential to implement energy efficient motor. By installing Energy
Efficient Motor in agitator will result considerable energy savings and there by reduction in
production cost.
The Energy Efficient Motor (EEF1) has higher efficiency while operating in part & full load
and continuous operation comparing with inefficient or EEF2 motor. The efficiency of EEF1
i.e.95% is more than that of normal motor i.e.85-90%. If the efficiency of motor increases,
power consumption will reduce at both part and full load conditions. By installing energy
efficient motor in agitator in ice plants due to continuous operation at least 8-10% energy
savings can achieve.
The proposed Energy conservation in Ice plant by installing 5HP Energy Efficient agitator
motor with inefficient /re winded motor is considered. The Technical Specification of energy
efficient 5 HP agitator motor is presented below.

result in less power consumption and ice making capacity of plant also increase for same
compressor motor.
The Technical and Financial viability detail of replacing new efficient refrigeration
compressor in existing refrigeration compressor in Ice making plants at Bhimavaram is
discussed below.
Background
Few Ice Plants installed refrigeration compressor at the time of plant installation. Till now the
compressors are in operation. These compressors are operating after maintenance while in
problems during failures. During the energy use and technology audit in ice plants at
Bhimavaram, refrigeration compressor performance is evaluated and the performance of
compressors is low compare with manufacturer technical specifications. The Ice plant
Power consumption will mainly depend on compressor performance only. Due to low
performance of compressor, the power consumption will be high. To reduce the power
consumption during the compression of refrigerant, replace old refrigerant compressor with
new refrigerant compressor.
In Ice Plant compressor are high energy consumed equipment compare all other
equipments. It requires higher power to compress the refrigerant at higher temperature and
pressure. The compressor performance high, power consumption by the compressor will
reduce. Due to higher compressor performance and continuous operation there will be
higher energy savings during the operation.

3.4.8 Install Variable Frequency Drives(VFD) for compressor motors
Compressor consumes high energy compare to other equipments in Ice Plants. In Ice
making Plants compressors are compress the refrigerant with help of motors. The energy
60
consumption by the motor depends upon characteristics of refrigerant entering into

compressor and loading.
The refrigeration compressor required speed at 400-1000 rpm to compress the refrigerant.
During ice formation completed and filling of ice cans, work done by the compressor
required less for refrigerant. To reduce the power consumption by compressor during less
compression, speed of compressor required to reduce by reducing the either motor speed or
switch off the cylinders in compressor.
Background
In all ice plants, the compressors are operated manually while less compression is required
during ice formation completed and filling and empting of ice cans. During this time
compressors required to operate less speed to save energy. Many operators are not
conscious about this savings due to fewer periods of operation and negligence. To over
come this VFD is best option to reduce the compressor motor speed and there by
compressor speed.
As the speed of the motor is reduced, the speed of compressor will reduce results less work
done by compressor and there by power required by the compressor reduce with the cube
of the speed.
The compressor motor speed reduced by 20%; the corresponding speed reduction in
compressor will be 59% of the normal speed; this will reduce the power consumption to (0.
59)^3= 20.5%.

3.5.1 Improving the compressor performance by Overhauling
In Ice making plants, compressors are main part in whole plant. If the compressor
performance is good the power consumed by the compressor motor will be less.
Overhauling of compressor is required to reduce the power consumption by compressor and
there by reducing in power bills. The details of Technical and Financial viability of
Overhauling of compressors are presented and discussed below.
Background
Ice plants require to overhauling the compressors over a period to improve the efficiency.
The refrigeration compressors are operated continuously and throughout the year for
manufacturing of ice. The specific energy consumption, energy efficiency ratio Coefficient of
performance of ice plant is depends on compressor performance. During the energy use
64
and technology audit in ice plants in Bhimavaram, few refrigeration compressors are found
and need to be overhaul to improve compressor performance.
The performance of the ice plants in Bhimavaram Ice Plants are poor and specific power
consumption is on higher side than equipment supplier guarantee. This may be due to wear
and tear of the compressor parts, low condenser efficiency etc. It is recommended to take
major overhauling of the compressor for improving the performance of the compressor.
It is also recommended to clean the condenser tubes regularly once in a week to remove
algae and fungi and to improve the performance of condenser. It should be noted that, for
every 0.55 oC, temperature drop in the cooling tower, the power drawn by the refrigeration
compressors reduces by 3%.

industries. By taking annual maintenance of the compressor and improving the performance
of the condenser, a minimum of 15% of compressor power consumption will be reduced
equivalent to 6.0 kW per hour operation.
Based on observations and measurements taken from ice plants, Cost benefit analysis for
overhaul of compressor to improve the performance in compressors in Ice Making plants are

3.8 Issues/barrier for implementation of proposals
The following major barriers identified for implementation of the energy savings proposals in
Ice making cluster Bhimavaram. They are:
1. Lack of awareness and information among cluster owners on the energy losses, EE
technologies and energy conservation concepts. By demonstrating few projects may
motivate to take up energy efficiency improvement projects to their industries.
2. All Ice plants are SMEs and doesnt have financial linkages to implement the energy
savings proposals to their industries
3. During the interaction the plant owners are ready to implement quick saving
proposals after discussing about the technology if provided financial linkages
4. The local service providers are basically experience background in nature but not in
technical sound knowledge like efficiency, losses. The LSPs required technology up
gradation skills related to the ice making equipments.
5. Production break down during the implementation of the energy saving proposals

4 SMALL GROUP ACTIVITIES /TOTAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT
4.1 Introduction
Energy is one of the most important resources to sustain our lives. At present we still
depend a lot on fossil fuels and other kinds of non-renewable energy. The extensive use of
renewable energy including solar energy needs more time for technology development.
4.2 Systematic Approach for Energy Conservation by TEM/SGA
In this situation Energy Conservation (EC) is the critical needs in any countries in the world.
Of special importance of Energy Conservation are the following two aspects:
1. Economic factors
2. Environmental impacts
4.2.1 Economic factors of Energy Conservation
Energy saving is important and effective at all levels of human organizations in the whole
world, as a nation, as companies or individuals. Energy Conservation reduces the energy
costs and improves the profitability.
Notably, the wave of energy conservation had struck the Indian intelligentsia 3 years earlier
when a Fuel Policy Committee was set up by the Government of India in 1970, which finally
bore fruits three decades hence in the form of enactment of the much awaited Energy
Conservation Act, 2001 by the Government of India. This Act made provisions for setting up
of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a body corporate incorporated under the Act, for
supervising and monitoring the efforts on energy conservation in India.
Brief History of energy efficiency movement in India and associated major milestones are as
follows.
1974: setting up of fuel efficiency team by IOC, NPC and DGTD (focus still on
industry)
1975: setting up of PCAG (NPC main support provider) : focus expanded to include
agriculture, domestic and transport
1978: Energy Policy Report of GOI: for the first time, EE as an integral part of
national energy policy provided detailed investigation into options for promoting EE
Post 1980, several organizations started working in EC area on specific programs
(conduct of audits, training, promotion, awareness creation, demonstration projects,
films, booklets, awareness campaigns, consultant/product directories)
68
Some line Ministries and organizations like BICP, BIS, NPC, PCRA, REC, Ministry of
Agriculture, TERI, IGIDR, CSIR, PETS (NPTI)
State energy development agencies
Industry associations
All India financial institutions
The Government of India set up Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) on 1st March 2002
under the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. The mission of the Bureau of
Energy Efficiency is to assist in developing policies and strategies with a thrust on self-
regulation and market principles, within the overall framework of the Energy Conservation
Act, 2001 with the primary objective of reducing energy intensity of the Indian economy. This
will be achieved with active participation of all stakeholders, resulting in accelerated and
sustained adoption of energy efficiency in all sectors
Private companies are also sensitive to energy costs, which directly affects their profitability
and even their viability in many cases. Especially factories in the industrial sectors are of
much concern, because reduced costs by Energy Conservation mean the more competitive
product prices in the world markets and that is good for the national trade balance, too.
4.2.2 Environmental impacts of Energy Conservation
Energy Conservation is closely related also to the environmental issues. The problem of
global warming or climate change is caused by emission of carbon dioxide and other Green
House Gases (GHG). Energy Conservation, especially saving use of fossil fuels, shall be the
first among the various countermeasures of the problem, with due considerations of the
aforementioned economic factors.
4.3 Total Energy Management (TEM)
Every point in factories has potential for Energy Conservation. Total Energy Management is
implemented, by all the peoples participation, step by step utilizing Key Step Approach in
a systematic manner, as shown below:
1. Top management policy/Goal
- Develop a policy statement
- Set targets
2. Proper EC Organization including Assignment of Energy Manager

Each step is explained in this order as below:
70
Step 1: Top Management policy/Goal
It is the most important for the success of Energy Conservation activities within companies
or factories to have clear and official commitment of top management either the corporate
top (senior) management or factory managers. The top (senior) management shall
announce explicit commitment to the Energy Management (or Energy Conservation) and
behave along this line for example, participate in EC (Energy Conservation) events and
encourage the people there for EC promotion.
This Handbook is primarily meant for Energy Managers for the use of EC promotion within
factories, on the assumption that top management has already committed to that. However,
there may be cases where top management would learn about Energy Management (or
Energy Conservation) by this Handbook, or Energy Managers would make efforts to
persuade top management to support or commit to Energy Management (or Energy
Conservation) with the help of this Handbook.
1. Develop a policy statement

It is desired that the top (senior) management announces the Energy Policy Statement.
This is very effective to let people inside and outside the company clearly knows the
managements commitment to Energy Management (or Energy Conservation). The format
of the energy policy statement is various, but it usually includes the goal or objective of the
company and the more concrete targets in the field of Energy Management (or Energy
Conservation). It often shows the major measures and timetables. The statement shall
match the companys mission statement or overall management strategy plan.
2. Set targets
The targets shall be concrete and specific so that everyone can understand it.
Step 2 : Proper EC Organization including Assignment of Energy Manager
In some countries, where the EC Promotion Act is in force, the designated factories have
obligation of assigning Energy Managers. In relation to Energy Management, however, the
word Energy Managers is here used as a Manager or a Coordinator, separate from the
above-said legal obligation, who works exclusively for Energy Management (or Energy
Conservation) purposes, ranging from gathering energy-related information to drafting EC
plans/programs and promoting or coordinating during implementation. To the proper Energy
Management, this type of Energy Manager is indispensable. How to position this Energy
Manager within the company organization is also an important issue and needs careful
decision. In some cases, Energy Committee, with members from the major departments,
71
may be formed to assure the company-wide or factory-wide cooperation, as shown in the

following figure.

Actually there are many ways of forming EC organization, depending on the situation of
factories or institutions, such as the size, kind of business, etc. In any case, it is very
effective to utilize SGA (Small Group Activities) and there are also many ways to do that.
The important thing is to design and make out the organization carefully to meet the
purpose. In practical sense to do that, there may be the following five widely applicable
ways of establishing the organization.
Utilize Line (Formal) Job-related Organization for TEM purpose

Use TPM Organization for TEM purpose
Use TQM Organization for TEM purpose
Add Employee Suggestion System to Energy Conservation Organization for
TEM purpose
Utilize another organization for TEM purpose
The easy and practical way may be starting from easy form of TQM, or QCC (Quality
Control Circle) activities.
Furthermore, because TPM is closely related to job-related organization, (1) and (2) may be
often give the same kind of results. (An example of this form is shown in Part 3, 2 How is
SGA related to Energy Conservation? (page 21).
Step 3 : Data collection and Analysis
Before trying to make out any future programs or action plans, it is essential for the
company or factory management to understand the current situation in a proper and
accurate manner. This includes not only the status of their own operation but also other
72
relevant information such as competitors operation, circumstances around the company

and their trend in future, positioning the company itself in the local and global markets, and
so on. The key steps for this purpose are shown below:
1. Collect data on current energy use and analyze them

The current data of energy consumption shall be obtained by measurement, calculation or
estimation for the individual operation units (energy cost centers) with classification of kinds
of energy (fuels types, utility types, etc.). The data shall be gathered regularly and
arranged/summarized daily, weekly, monthly, by seasons or annually. Then the data shall
be checked for the past historical trend and interpreted with relation to operational modes
and production scales. That shall also be utilized for the forecast of future trends.
2. Identify Management Strength and Weakness

Then the data shall be compared with the best practice data or benchmarks in the industry.
If such reference data are hardly available, the historical data of their own operation and
estimated data for the competitors would be utilized for this purpose. At the same time, the
strength and the weakness of the company shall be evaluated considering the competitors
situations in the local and global markets. This would serve the purpose of making out a
realistic Energy Management plan later.
3. Analyze stakeholders needs

Stakeholders are top (and senior) management, middle managers, staff/engineers and
workers/operators. Other stakeholders in the normal business sense, such as the
shareholders and lenders, need not be considered here for the moment. The needs and
intention of those stakeholders shall be summarized and taken into consideration.
4. Anticipate barriers to implement

Making out a realistic and practical program also needs consideration of anticipated barriers
for the implementation of Energy Management program or action plan. Some possible
examples of such barriers are:
-Insufficient understanding and support by top management
-Insufficient understanding and cooperation of managers within factories
-Insufficient awareness of people to get successful results
-Insufficient capability of people due to lack of training
-Insufficient available technology due to lack of information
-Insufficient availability of manpower for EC activities within factories
-Insufficient budget for EC activities due to the companys financial status
73
5. Estimate the future trend

The future trend of energy supply-demand balance is estimated based on checking and
analysis of the historical data. That data of future trend would also be a basis of the
program of excellent Energy Management.
In analyzing the collected data and developing ideas of Energy Conservation, it is very often
useful to think of the following techniques of finding problems and solutions:
Suppress- Using during the time in which it is not necessary to use. Examples include using
electricity before or after working hours or when there is no one working.
Stop - Using equipment when it is not necessary. Examples include using all lightings
during break time.
Reduce - Amount, pressure, temperature, speed, or brightness, or quality that exceed
requirement. Examples include reducing intensity of lighting if not necessary.
Prevent - Prevent leakage or loss of energy. Examples include reducing space that leads
to outside in order to prevent the leakage of heat into air.
Improve - Improve or repair machines to increase efficiency or modify manufacturing
process to the one which enables us to conserve energy more. Examples include
changing transparent sheet over the roof.
Store - Re-use the discarded energy. Examples include re-using heat from exhaust fume in
order to reduce use of electric heater to warm heavy oil.
Change - Change how to use, type of energy, or energy sources to a suitable one from
technical or economic point of view. Examples include changing the grade of heavy
oil to an appropriate one or changing furnace systems or welding machines to the
ones that use gas.
Increase production - Examples include improving production process. This will lead to the
reduction of energy usage per production amount.
Step 4 : Selecting EC Measures/Projects
Based on the aforesaid understanding of the current status and position of the company
(factory), various EC measures are studied and many EC Projects are proposed.
Comparison among these measures and projects are made with consideration of a lot of
factors, such as technical, economic, intangible, and so on.Then a plan/program is
developed based on these study results. To do this, it is very important to consider the
following issues:
The plan/program shall be realistic, practical and attainable with due consideration of many
related elements and management resources of the company or factory. It also shall be
expressed in terms of the measurable or quantifiable parameters, including Fuel Usage
Index, Electricity Usage Index, Energy Usage Index, etc. It usually includes a lot of
managerial measures of Energy Management (or Energy Conservation) promotion activities
such as motivation techniques, means to improve awareness, training, and so on. In other
74
words, the following items are often useful in comparing and selecting alternative plans:
1. Effects of energy conservation: Activities that can conserve energy more than others are
more promising.
2. Investment amount: Activities that require less investment are more promising.
3. Pay-back period: Activities with short pay-back period for investment amount in
equipment are more promising because all energy conservation will be profits after pay-
back period.
4. Length of implementation: Activities that can be performed in a short period are more
promising because they do not influence production process of the factory.
5. Number of personnel required: Activities that require a large number of personnel tend to
be burdensome.
6. Importance to executives and reputation of the company: Some activities provide little
financial benefit but cause good image or reputation.
7. Risk of the project: Some activities bring about big financial benefits but involve high
risk from various factors. In this case projects have less importance.
Step 5 : Prioritizing
Many EC measures and projects are prioritized based on the internal studies including
comparison among their alternatives, in the manner explained in the above.
Step 6 : Developing an Action Plan

The priority consideration then gives birth to the Action Plan. The plan shall be clear,
practical and comprehensive with proper schedule and budgeting. Shown below is an
example of such a plan.

4 Close welding machine after Miss Thanom
working
Step 7 : Training the related members

This issue is very important to secure the success of project Implementation, because the
people are the most important resources that determine the success of the plan.
75
Step 8: Awareness-raising and Motivation

To have the total power of all members participation combined together, it is also very
crucial how to raise awareness and motivation of related people within the company (or
factory). Shown below is an example of awareness raising plan.
Table No 4.2: Example of awareness raising campaign

4 Perform Finding measures Miss Thanom - Mr. Laaied

conservation plan
5 Provide rewards to sections -
that have achieved high
efficiency
Step 9: Implementing the Action Plan (including monitoring and controlling)

The organizational force established in the said planning step shall be utilized fully to ensure
smooth implementation of the program. Energy Manager and/or the committee shall
continue working to promote the activities and report to top management on the status quo.
The actual records of implementation shall be closely watched and monitored.
If some problems arise, or some variance between the planned figures and the actual record
is observed, then necessary actions shall be taken immediately.
Step 10: Evaluation (Management Review)

After the program is completed, the report shall be submitted to the top (senior)
management. The results shall be assessed and analyzed for any good and bad points.
The lesson shall be utilized as a feedback in the subsequent plan/program.
Thus the activities are repeated to form a cyclic movement. The result of evaluation must be
announced on the board in order to inform employees, so that they will be given motivation
for the next activities. Evaluation can be divided into 2 types as follows.
Short-term evaluation for the follow-up of the performance
Long-term evaluation for the evaluation of the whole project that will be used for the
future planning
76
Evaluation can be made in the following 3 levels.

1. Self Audit: Self evaluation that is made in a small group or a department based on
the predefined form. (Inspection may be made every month.)
2. Upper Manager Audit: Evaluation that is made by the section/department manager
intended to raise performance of the activity. (Inspection may be made every 3
month.)
3. Top Management Audit: Evaluation made by the executives of the organization that
will be used for the evaluation of annual bonus. (Inspection may be made every 6
month.)
In some cases, top management could think of adopting external people (outside
consultants) to evaluate the results of Energy Conservation activities. Even in those cases,
internal evaluation should be made to gain the fruits as much as possible.
Step 11: Analysis for future planning (Standardization and Dissemination)

The successful results and the lessons learned are to be analyzed and arranged into the
standard form which can be easily utilized by anyone in the factory. The standardized
documents or information are to be disseminated all over the company.
Moreover, Energy Conservation should be incorporated as a part of daily jobs and

performed continuously in a systematic manner. For this purpose, activities for energy
conservation must be incorporated as a part of companys basic or business plan. If a
problem is found as a result of evaluation, improvement or modification will be done and the
objectives will be achieved. If the results reach or exceed the objective, information must be
gathered in order to set it as a Work Standard, which will be used in setting a new activity
plan.
4.4 Small Group Activities (SGA)
Small Group Activity (SGA) gives employees the problem solving tools they need to
eliminate obstacles to Total Productivity, the cumination of zero break-downs, zero defects,
and zero waste. Enterprising employees identify the problem, be it in "man, material,
method, or machine," and develop cost-effective and practical methods for solving the
problem.
4.4.1 Importance of SGA:
SGA are activities by group of employees at operator (working Group) level. They aim to
solve problems that occur at the place taken care of by each employee and put emphasis on
participation and team work. Factories can apply small group activities to many kinds of
work along with normal work or other measures that are already underway. The burden on
77
employees will not increase because of small group activities. They are not only bringing
benefits to factories but also boosting the knowledge and ability in performing jobs of
employees, improving communication among employees, increasing creativity, and make it
possible to express their own proposal with less hesitation to management. As a result,
employees will start to think This is our problem. This SGA can be applied to Energy
Conservation, too, with successful results, as shown in Figure 13.
4.4.2 How SGA leads to Energy Conservation? :
An excellent example of organizational structure that promotes energy management

emphasizing participation is that they form overlapping small groups as in figure 14. The
feature of this structure is that a small group for energy management is distributed to various
sections as in figure 15, which is a recipe for success of Total Energy Management (TEM)
and makes various communications and management of activities more efficient and
effective.

SGA
Small group activities for total energy management (TEM) are the activities in which
employees of all levels in production or management, starting from the top to the bottom,
participate in order to reduce loss related to their own job by improving their job. In order for
the activities to succeed, management of all levels must provide support in necessary
training and equipment, communication of policies, and the setting of problems to solve.
Small group activities for TEM can be divided into 4 or 5 levels depending on the scale of
the organization. This division is in order to emphasize the fact that everyone must improve
in their job under the responsibility to each other. It also enables us to make improvement
78
without overlapping. The following example shows utilizing the existing job-related
organization as much as possible.

4.5 Steps of Small Group Activities for Energy Conservation
Small group activities for Energy Conservation can be done by using 10 Stages for
Success, based on PDCA Management Cycle, as shown below and in pictorial forms
81
Fig.No:4.6 PDCA Management Cycle
Plan: Make an efficient plan in order to improve operation

Do: Implement according to the plan
Check: Check if implementation was according to the plan
Act: Judge what to improve, what to learn and what to do from what we have
checked
Fig No: 4.7 SGA Circle
Please note that these stages are substantially the same as Key Steps explained earlier,
but put more stress on utilization of SGA. So readers could read and use either method up
to their preference.

Stage 7: Make energy conservation plan and raise

awareness
Do Stage 8: Implement plan
Check Stage 9: Follow up and evaluate results
Action Stage 10: Implement repeatedly Establish operation

standard
4.5.1 Stage 1: Define Executives Role:

In promoting small group activities, support must be provided such as basic environmental
support. Therefore, executives must provide follow up support to employees of their
companies.
Establish a special unit that provides support to small group activities
Prepare a system for managing small group activities in the company
Prepare annual plan for small group activities
Prepare a venue for meeting, consultation, advice or suggestion
Establish a system for giving rewards to high achieving employees
Establish a reporting system starting from informing what to do until reporting of the
results
Establish a fair system for evaluating results
Establish a system for providing support and training to employees
4.5.2 Stage 2: Define Policy and Target
Executives must announce a policy of supporting small group activities.
83
Energy conservation committee must act as an advisor in order to set a numerical

target that is consistent with total energy management (TEM) policy and the target of
the organization. Specific targets must be set for each group.
We can see that responsibilities in stages 1 and 2 are mainly those of executives and
committee. Responsibility of employees will become clearer from stage 3 and afterwards.
4.5.3 Stage 3: Set up Energy Conservation Committee:
The principle of small group activities (SGA) is to divide into groups based on the scope of
responsibility. The size of the group will depend on the size of organization. However, size
of the group should not be too large. Usually a size of 5 to 10 persons is considered
appropriate. It is important to define responsibilities clearly so that every member of the
group can have their responsibility and participate in the activities.
4.5.4 Stage 4: Personnel Training:
This stage will help employees to have more knowledge and understanding, have new
ideas, and have more belief in their own responsibility.
4.5.5 Stage 5: Select Appropriate Activity
In doing small group activities, each member must be able to think, express their own ideas,
and make decisions based on reality and by investigating electrical equipment, machines,
and office equipment that exist in the area of their responsibility. Items to consider include
size, number, where to use, situation of usage, current situation, and the number of hours
usage per day. By this we can evaluate the current situation of energy usage. Also by
judging if there are more machines than needed, we can choose suitable activities and real
problems for the organization.
4.5.6 Stage 6: Evaluate feasibility of alternatives (Analyze problems and decide on

the measures and activities in each point):
Each group will gather ideas on the reasons for the problems, obstacles, and how to solve
problems in order to decide on the problems, measures, and importance of activities and
thus evaluate on the feasibility of activities to do based on advice from department manager.
Basically, the following activities are not suitable for small group activities.
Highly technical issues

Issues that require a long time or many people to implement
We have identified the following problems through small group activities.
84
Issues on material quality or production that influence energy usage

Behavior on energy usage
Efficiency of machines or equipment that uses energy
Awareness toward environment and energy usage
Safety costs for energy conservation
4.5.7 Stage 7: Make Energy Conservation Plan and Raise Awareness
Each group must prepare its activity plan. Generally, implementation for small group
activities takes 6 months to 1 year. Activities to be implemented should correspond to the
objectives of each group. Besides, it might help to listen to opinions of all organizations in
order to receive support from all other organizations.
4.5.8 Stage 8: Implement Plan

Implement according to the plan of each group.
4.5.9 Stage 9: Follow Up and Evaluate Results
After implementing the plan, each member of small groups will follow up and evaluate the
result by analyzing result, search for strong and weak points of activities, find a way to
improve the activities and report on general achievement.
4.5.10 Stage 10: Implement Repeatedly
Energy conservation is an activity that must be implemented repeatedly. Therefore, it is

necessary to implement each activity repeated and make improvement to each activity. If we
are satisfied with the results, by achieving the objectives of activities, we should provide
rewards in order to give motivation for continuing the small group activities and implement
creative activities.
Dos and Donts in Energy Conservation

Dont emphasize the mistakes in the past. It is better to talk about the present.
Dont be worried about the theory or principles. Dont spend too much time in
discussion or analysis of problems in meeting rooms.
Dont think that an activity can be done perfectly from the beginning.
It is necessary to do the job continuously by having experiences and judging by
ourselves.
Do start with an activity that requires small amount of investment.
Do Raise awareness so that all employees understand the necessity and importance
of energy conservation and participate in it.
Do start the activity now without postponing to tomorrow.
85
4.6 Tools Used Often for Small Group Activities for Energy Conservation
4.6.1 5S:
5S is a contraction derived from the Japanese words Seiri, Seito, Seiso, Seiketsu, and
Shitsuke. It is simple methodology that is also extremely useful in practical and realistic life.
5S is a set of actions to be followed through every day activities to advance the operational
surroundings and circumstances. 5S is made in order to provide fortification to every
personage in diverse profitable and industrialized fields. 5S is an extremely practical
contrivance and skill set for anyone who wants to generate a more prolific environment
within the workplace or who wants to make it their profession to make other people's
businesses more proficient and productive. 5S occupy a list of products including eyewear,
ear protectors and safety gears. Look into these different products that make up the
significance of an industrialized security supply. Lean Six Sigma experts promise or
guarantee for the efficiency of 5S as an enlightening enhancement to better working
surroundings in an association. If you dig up Six Sigma guidance that is paid for by your
company, you will be in a position to work for your company and make things better for you
as well as for everyone. 5S is very useful in lots of industries and job markets, but can often
fail simply because of the lack of recognition concerning changes in the office.
Fig No:4.9 Five Ss
5S consists of five steps that are crucial for the completion of 5S. The 5S steps are
described as follows-
1. Seiri / Sort- This is very logical term in, which identification of the contents take place,
data base of the products have been created and, then any kind of sorting take place just to
arrange the products and removal of unwanted items. Classification of the products is
86
necessary, which is called Red Tagging. It is important just to identify factors, right from
whether it is needed, existing amount obligatory amount, occurrence of necessity, and so
on.
2. Seito / Systemize- This step in 5S process consists of removal of unwanted items

permanently and one more task that to be take place is decision that means you have to
decide that what is required to be in what place. Place the items in such manner that you
could retrieve them within 30 seconds of requirement.
3. Seiso / Brush away/ Sweep- Examine al the items on the daily basis. The process is not
that much time consuming, but essential to clean up your workplace and most required in
5S. The conscientiousness to keep the office clean should be circulated between everyone
in the group.
4. Seiketsu / Homogenize- This important step of 5S involves the visual control, which is
important to keep your organization well- organized and clean. It is a complete evaluation to
improve the working conditions.
5. Shitsuke / Self Control- This step is quite essential, but critical because it involves all the
discipline to ensure the 5S standards, it also takes charge of dedication and commitment.
4.6.2 QCC (Quality control circle):
QCC (Quality control circle) means controlling quality through group activities. For this, it is
necessary to work hand in hand and achieve objective quality or customers request. With
this, we can find weak points, find the cause of problems, gather ideas for problem solving
and systematically prepare quality and thus, solve problems such as material loss,
production costs, working hours, or productivity. This is also a very useful tool to tackle with
Energy Conservation problem. So many factories or institutions are encouraged to utilize
this tool.

5.3 Awareness on Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency technologies in

Ice making Cluster -Bhimavaram
In Bhimavaram, Ice making Plants owners and operators doesnt have awareness on
energy conservation and about energy efficiency improvement technologies which are
applicable to ice making plants. Though the clusters units are in operation since last 4
decades, no single program on energy efficiency either from the local bodies or central
government had been conducted in the cluster. The Ice plant owners could not implement
EE technologies, as the units are more concerned for uninterrupted production and low
investment options.

Technical Calculations
1. PUMP CALCULATIONS
Step 1: Calculation of the Hydraulic power of pump
Flow of the pump: Q m3/hr

Head of the pump: H m
2
Acceleration due to gravity: 9.81 m/s
Hydraulic power of pump
Step 2: Calculate the Efficiency of Pump Set.
Motor Power: Pm kW
Efficiency of Pumps set (Over all Efficiency) =
I.e. Over all efficiency
Note: over all efficiency of pump set = motor efficiency x pump efficiency
Pset = motor X Pump
Step 3: Saving calculation for Pump Set.
Measured input power of the old pump set = P old pump input kW
Measured input power of the new energy efficient pump set = P new pump input kW
Annual energy saved in kWh= (P old pump input kW - P new pump input kW) x Working
hour x Annual working days
2. CALCULATIONS FOR MOTOR
Step1: Calculation of Motor Loading.
Rated power of the motor = Pm hp

Rated power of motor = Pm x 0.746
= Pm kW
Rated Efficiency of motor = motor rated
Rated Input Power of the motor = Pm kW motor rated
= Pm input kW
Measured input power = Pm measured kW
Percentage loading of motor LM %
91
Step 2: Calculation of motor efficiency.
Approximate Output hp = % loading x Rated hp

= LM x Pm hp
Motor efficiency motor measured
Step3: Saving Calculation by replacing EE motor.
Measured input power of old motor = Poldm measured kW

Rated power of EE Motor = Pnew motor hp
Rated power in kW = P new motor x 0.746
= P new motor kW
Rated Efficiency = new motor rated
Rated Input power of the EE motor = Pi/p new motor
= P new motor kW new motor rated
Actual input power of EE motor = Pi/p new motor x loading%
= PA i/p new motor
Annual saving in kWh
= (Poldm measured kW - PA i/p new motor ) working Hr x no.of working days
