Capture system synergies<br />
◊ For example, with a V-belt-drive fan…<br />
<br />
<br />
Cut belt losses from 10–15+% to 1–2% with a<br />
good synchronous belt<br />
› Doesn’t stretch or slip; very long life; very<br />
low maintenance (no tension adjustments)<br />
› Costs about –$1/kWh due to saved maint.<br />
But must use a soft-start device (or flat<br />
Habasit-class belt) for high-inertia loads like<br />
big centrifugal fans—which otherwise strip the<br />
teeth off a cogged belt
