We have also carried out a lifecycle analysis of our Vacon 100 to determine its carbon footprint. During the production of one 18.5 kW VACON 100 drive, 255 kg of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) emissions occur. However, when that drive is put to work in a typical fan application (compared to a two speed electric motor), it actually saves 24 500 kg in CO2e emissions over a 10 year period.
