ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Energy Management
Energy Management is the proactive, organized and systematic coordination of condition assessment with
respect to standards and use of energy to meet the requirements. Energy Management also envisages on
best energy practices which can be followed for improving efficiency and appropriate use of energy. The
central task of Energy Management is to reduce costs for the provision of energy in industries and facilities.
Energy Management encompasses:
Conserving Energy Resources
Enhancing Energy Efficiency
Limiting Environmental Impact
Encouraging Rational Energy Use
Bhatia Brothers have a dedicated team of Engineers for performing the following tasks:
Conduct Vibration Analysis – Rotational Machinery
Infrared Thermography Assessment – Electrical & Mechanical

Vibration Analysis
Vibration Analysis like other predictive maintenance technology allows for measurement and analysis for
quick and relatively inexpensive way to detect and identify mechanical problems before they become
serious and force costly unscheduled plant shut downs.
Worn bearings, loose belts, improperly meshed gears, unbalanced shafts, misaligned couplings, etc., are
accompanied by specific changes in performance and behavior of the rotational machine. Monitoring these
changes permits maintenance to be scheduled well in advance of a major break down. A vibration analyzer
is also referred to as FFT spectrum analyzers. Vibration meter and vibration data collector are also common
terms referring to a vibration analyzer.
Vibration analysis is a powerful tool that when integrated into an overall inspection program will help save
maintenance costs by:
Reducing the risk of unexpected downtime
Extremely effective safeguard against total loss
Timely replacement parts to reduce expediting costs
Advance planning shortens repair and inspection times
Some of the specific types of vibration causing problems that can be detected in the analysis:
Bearing defects or wears
Damaged or worn teeth
Misalignment; internal or external
Rotating looseness or imbalance
Resonance, loose components
Bending or eccentricity
Unequal thermal effects
Bad belt drives
Infrared Thermography
Infrared Thermo graphic analysis is the non-contact mapping and analysis of the thermal patterns from the
surface of an object. Thermal imaging scanner (Thermal Camera) can detect radiation in the infrared range
of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 900–14,000 nanometers or 0.9–14 μm) and produce images of that
radiation.
According to the ‘black body radiation law’ all objects based on their temperatures emit infrared radiation;
thermo graphic analysis makes it possible to "see" one's environment with or without visible illumination. The
wavelength of the energy emitted differs from material to material. If the wavelength falls in the region of 400
nanometers to 720 nanometers (40 X 1015 Hz to 75 X 1015 Hz) in electromagnetic spectrum. The Infrared
Thermo graphic analysis are carried out as part of safety, proactive, predictive and preventive maintenance
program (conditional monitoring system) on electrical distribution systems, important electrical terminations.

Advantages of Thermography
It shows a visual picture so temperatures over a large area can be
compared
It is capable of catching moving targets in real time
It is able to find deteriorating, i.e., higher temperature components
prior to their failure
It can be used to measure or observe in areas inaccessible or
hazardous for other methods
It is a non-destructive test method
It can be used to find defects in shafts, pipes, and other metal or
plastic parts
It can be used to detect objects in dark areas
Compressed Air Leaks And Audit
Leaks are a significant source of wasted energy in a compressed air system, often wasting as much as
20%-30% of the compressor’s output. Compressed air leaks can also contribute to problems with system
operations, including:
Fluctuating system pressure, which can cause air tools and other air-operated equipment to function less
efficiently, possibly affecting production.
Excess compressor capacity, resulting in higher than necessary costs.
Decreased service life and increased maintenance of supply equipment (including the compressor
package) due to unnecessary cycling and increased run time.

Leakage rates are a function of the supply pressure in an uncontrolled system and increase with higher
system pressures. Leakage rates are identified in cubic feet per minute (cfm) and are also proportional to the
sound (dB) measured in the ultrasonic leak detector. The air leak study is done using calibrated SDT ultra
sound air leak detector.
Power Quality Audits
Power quality is the relative frequency and severity of deviations in the incoming power supplied to electrical
equipment from the steady or fundamental frequency, sinusoidal waveform of voltage or current. These
deviations may affect the safe or reliable operation of electrical equipment such as circuit breakers, motors,
fans, CNC machines, computers etc.
Power quality Issues diagnosing:
1.
Harmonics: It is a distortion of the utility supplied waveform and is caused by “non-linear” loads, Total
harmonic distortion (THD) measures the degree to which the input is distorted, and is the relative value
of all the harmonics combined, as a percentage of the fundamental current.
2.
Transients: Commonly called swells, surges and spikes, transients are the most frequent types of power
quality problems.
3.
Brownouts: These are hours-long voltage sags caused by system overload.
4.
Reliability: It refers to the probability of maintaining a continuous supply of electricity without interruption.
Steam Audits & Boiler Performance Study
One way to find out whether the boiler in your facility is efficient is
to perform a steam audit; a comprehensive analysis of energy
used within a facility, process or equipment, including
recommendations for energy conservation measures.
