Parker SSD drives help British Airways achieve 95% energy reduction for air handling systems
British Airways is using the latest variable speed drive technology to cut energy consumption by up to 95%, on air handling and environmental control systems installed in flight simulator cells at its Flight Training centre at Heathrow Airport. Developed and manufactured by Parker Hannifin, the world’s leading manufacturer of motion and control technologies, the variable speed drives (VSD) are a key part of a long term project to upgrade Br...
Parker actuators optimise productivity of world’s third largest solar power plant
Powerful hydraulic actuators from Parker Hannifin play an integral role in the world’s third largest concentrated solar power plant, known as Nevada Solar One. The rotary actuators are used to rotate and tilt a series of parabolic mirrored troughs, so that they are able to track the sun’s motion for maximum efficiency, and protect the arrays from high winds and dust storms.
