Energy Recovery/Water Cooled Series

The high cost of energy demands that waste heat be recovered and productively utilized. With Stainless Motors, Inc. Energy Recovery series, the motor generated waste heat is absorbed by the circulating cooling water and made available for productive use elsewhere. Hot water produced is potable and suitable for feeding boilers supplying steam to cooking kettles, equipment washdown and other applications.

Water Cooled vs. Air Cooled

• 4-6% of motor input electricity is rejected as waste heat
• Air cooled motors reject this heat into the surrounding atmosphere
• Motor waste heat adds additional load to the HVAC system
• Water cooling allows for efficient collection removal and use of waste heat
• Stainless water cooled motors are suitable for severe washdown duty environments
• Water cooling affords lower motor component temperatures, thereby increasing motor reliability and life
• Water cooled technology reduces plant utility costs and may qualify for tax incentives

Benefits of Water Cooled Motors

• Water Cooling affords the highest possible efficiency and the ability to recover waste heat for productive use
• Reduced long term cost of ownership through significant increase in motor life
• Reduced maintenance costs through control of winding and bearing temperatures with enhanced lubrication of bearings leading to improved reliability
• Winding and bearing temperature detectors for remote condition monitoring
• Stainless water passages will not affect water purity or chemistry
• Overall reduction of plant utility costs
