Atlas Copco has launched the ECO Calculator, an upgraded Power and Light sizing Calculator version of the earlier Light the Power calculator. This cutting-edge online tool is designed to assist professionals in the construction, events, rental, and mining sectors to accurately determine the optimal power and lighting equipment size for their projects.
The ECO Calculator is an online and mobile resource that simplifies the process of selecting the right equipment, ensuring that sites have the most efficient and cost-effective power and lighting solutions. This initiative reinforces Atlas Copco’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to supporting its customers with tools that enhance productivity and energy responsible choices.
Atlas Copco’s ECO Calculator features an Energy Storage System Module, a significant enhancement that recommends the ideal combination of a generator and an energy storage system. It provides a detailed cost comparison between conventional stand-alone generators and hybrid solutions, facilitating cost-effective decision-making.
With this new module, the ECO Calculator enables performance simulation, allowing users to assess potential savings and optimise low load management for a more efficient energy setup. The tool also advises on the most appropriate generator size based on specific load demands, ensuring that power tools and other equipment function at their best.
Professionals can also utilise the ECO Calculator to simulate modular power plants, including the management of generator loading and de-loading, to dynamically address power requirements. The tool includes a wire size calculator to help determine the correct size and number of cables needed for installations, as well as a feature that displays noise levels, promoting a quieter and more comfortable working environment.
For lighting needs, the application aids in determining the correct number and models of light towers required to sufficiently illuminate an area. It also provides a quick compatibility check to verify the suitability of a portable generator with electric light towers.
Atlas Copco’s ECO Calculator is now available for download, offering a robust solution for professionals to make informed choices regarding their power and lighting requirements. By leveraging this tool, users can enhance their performance and contribute to reducing emissions and lowering operational costs.
