How to save big on your solar panel installation

by vemcoblogs - September 27, 2023September 27, 2023

Saveings on solar panel installation — solar energy company

Solar panel installation can seem like a daunting investment. The upfront costs can in fact be the most significant deterrent against taking the solar option. However, with the right guidance, you can save plenty of money while installing your solar panel. VEMC is the leading solar energy company based out of Mumbai.

In this blog, we explain how you can save big on your solar panel installation

1. Government incentives

Governments across the world are trying to promote solar energy to shift their country’s reliance on conventional fossil fuels. By providing incentives to homeowners, they make the investment in solar energy an attractive prospect. India’s Rooftop Solar Programme by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is one initiative to exhort residents to invest in a solar rooftop system. To put things into perspective, solar energy systems of up to 3 kW are eligible for a subsidy of up to Rs. 14588/kW.

2. Financing options

Solar financing is another feasible option for homeowners who do not want to spend a huge sum on the installation upfront. This allows them to spread out the cost of the panel over a larger horizon. A number of private and public sector banks in India are offering solar loans at affordable interest rates of around 8%.

3. Select the right solar system

Make sure you’re selecting just the right size and type of solar panel system for your rooftop. For residential homes, 3-5 kW solar panels should be enough. Also, make sure you’re choosing a good quality solar panel system that helps you save energy in the long run. Monocrystalline solar panels typically offer better efficiency.

4. DIY installation

To save on your installation labor, you could perform a DIY installation. These days, a lot of resources like guides and tutorials are available online, which homeowners can use to install their panels. However, in the case of complicated rooftop design, unsafe mounting areas, or lack of the right tools, it is always better to rely on experts.

5. Proper maintenance

Regular and timely maintenance is important when it comes to extending your savings. When solar panels are regularly inspected and maintained, the costs of sudden breakdown go down. Dust, ash, or other particulate matter can bar the sunlight shining on the panels, thus reducing their productivity. Frequent surface cleaning can significantly improve the efficiency of your solar panels.

6. Long-term financial benefits

At any rate, choosing to install a solar panel can never be a bad financial decision. As any solar installation company would explain, the average payback period for residential consumers on their solar installation is around 4-5 years. This indicates how financially beneficial solar panels are in the long run. The savings incurred on energy consumption by far exceed the upfront costs of the panels.
Investing in solar panels can seem quite daunting, given the huge cost structure upfront. However, with the right choices, you can actually maneuver your way to great savings on your panels. For more information on how to save on your solar panel installation, get in touch with VEMC on 022 43436655 or email marketing@vemc.co.in. We are the best solar company when it comes to installation, consulting and maintenance services.

How Fire-Fighting Panels Can Save Lives and Property

by vemcoblogs - September 26, 2023September 26, 2023

A fire panel is a safety appliance used in buildings to set into motion an automatic emergency response in case there is a fire breakout. VEMC is one of the leading Kirloskar fire fighting pump dealers in Mumbai, and in this blog, we talk about how firefighting panels can save lives and property.

How do fire panels really work?

A fire panel acts as a central command hub of a building’s fire safety network. It depends on inputs from manual pull switches, sensors, and smoke detectors. Whenever there is a breakout in the building, the sensors raise a signal which reaches the fire panel. This is followed by a response from the fire panel which could range from sounding alarms for evacuation, calling the fire department, or sending push notifications to devices.

Fire panels are well equipped with power supply provisions and specialized circuitry for initiating and notifying the devices. We at VEMC are a leading Kirloskar fire pump dealer and also deal in cutting-edge fire panels, ensuring the highest fire safety standards for your buildings.

How fire panels play a central role in fire safety

A fire panel acts as the nerve center of your building’s fire safety system. However, a number of significant features enable them to play a central role in triggering automatic responses:

Centralized control

A fire panel acts as the hub of your fire safety network. It is connected to both input (such as fire sensors) as well as output devices (such as alarms, water sprinklers, etc.). This makes the fire response quick, decisive, and highly coordinated.

Monitoring and communication

Fire panels continuously monitor your environment and communicate any slight change in parameters. Highly advanced fire panels gauge parameters like air pressure, temperature, etc. and convey it instantly across the fire safety network.

Customization and Programming

What would be the output of your fire panel system depends upon your needs. A fire panel can be programmed to activate alarm systems, call the fire department, or trigger the water sprinklers.

Integration with suppression systems

The fact that your fire panels are integrated with the suppression system makes them highly responsive and effective. As soon as one of the monitored parameters changes slightly, the system triggers an alarm which in turn activates the extinguisher.

Emergency evacuation and alerts

Another useful aspect of a fire panel is that it sends out communications to ensure timely evacuation. This could mean notifications to the residents’ devices or sounding a general alarm.

Remote monitoring and control

Remote access to installed fire panels for programming, maintenance, monitoring, and control eliminates the need for physical intervention.

Redundancy and reliability

A minor failure in any of the fire safety components could be a cause of massive damage. Fire panels are thus designed to be redundant to achieve acceptable levels of reliability and protection.

Cost savings and property protection

An efficient fire panel saves a significant amount of energy. Besides, its quick detection, early warning and communication system make it a highly effective tool for protecting property.

These days, fire panels are also equipped with trending technologies like AI, IoT, and data analytics. All of these enable businesses to convert their fire panels into smart devices that can put the entire network to use when a fire breaks out in the building.

Dewatering Strategies for Construction Sites

by vemcoblogs - September 26, 2023September 26, 2023

Dewatering is the process of removing ground or surface water from a construction site. This is necessary to ensure the safety of workers and prevent damage to equipment. VEMC is the leading Kirloskar water pump dealer based in Mumbai,

In this blog, we talk about the various dewatering strategies for construction sites.

Site assessment

Before dewatering, you need to figure out the nature of water on the construction site, that is, whether it is only superficial or groundwater. Next, find out what kind of sediments are present and how to separate them from the water. You must also ensure there are no hazardous contaminants present, that can pose risks to the workers. Find out which features of the construction site can naturally assist (such as a slope) or challenge your dewatering process.

Ensure compliance before dewatering

All construction sites need permits from state or local governments before dewatering. Make sure you fulfil the criteria and have the right permits before starting the work.

Dewatering strategies

Now let’s discuss the various dewatering strategies that effectively remove water from any construction site.

1. Wellpoint

In this method, wells are drilled all around the construction site at predetermined depths in straight lines of rectangular formations. A flexible swing pipe is used to create the necessary suction. At the rear end of the header pipe, a vacuum pump is installed. Groundwater enters the wellpoints, runs through the pipes and the pump, and finally discharges into the containment tank. This method is effective for sites with water only at 6 meters below the pump level.

2. Eductor or Ejector wells

Eductor wells use the Venturi effect. This states that when a high-pressure liquid flows through a narrow pipe section, its pressure reduces. On the other hand, water at the ground level is at a higher pressure and thus it flows towards the low-pressure supply line through riser pipes. It is then drained out using multiple pumps. This method is best for handling low-permeability soil at great depths.

3. Open sump pumping

This technique uses gravity rather than pressure to reduce groundwater levels. Shallow pits or ‘sumps’ are dug around the construction site at a lower level. The surrounding water simply converges and flows into these sumps and is removed using pumps. This strategy is useful in sandy or gravelly areas.

4. Deep wellpoint

Just like the conventional wellpoint method, the deep wellpoint involves drilling narrow wells (150-200 mm) all around the site. The groundwater falls into these wells and is then removed using a submersible pump. This method is useful at deep excavation sites requiring large discharge volumes.

Common challenges in dewatering

As water pump dealers would warn, dewatering can cause serious challenges on a construction site:

Surface flooding
Risk of erosion and other related issues
Damage to adjacent buildings or property
Dampness that creates unhealthy site conditions
Adverse effect on the building structure due to variations caused in soil conditions

Construction site dewatering is a matter of expertise. To know more about it or seek assistance from our experts, call us on 022 43436655 or email us at marketing@vemc.co.in. We at VEMC take pride in being the top-notch Kirloskar pump distributors in Mumbai.

Air Compressor Accessories Every Workshop Should Have

by vemcoblogs - September 26, 2023September 26, 2023

Air compressors are equipment used to generate pressure in gases, mostly air. These are useful in a range of industrial activities such as paint spraying, abrasive blast equipment, refrigeration, cleaning, and air conditioning. VEMC is one of the leading air compressor dealers in Mumbai and in this blog, we talk about the air compressor accessories that every workshop should have.

Importance of accessories

As every air compressor dealer in Mumbai will tell you, accessories are absolutely indispensable. They enhance the value of your equipment manifold. The right kind of accessories will increase productivity and efficiency on one hand, and reduce the need for maintenance on the other. Any weak link among the accessories could mean suboptimal performance or worse, sudden breakdown of the compressor. Your compressor is in fact only as strong as its weakest component!

Essential accessories your workshop must have

Filters

A workshop environment means lots of dust and particulate matter floating around in the air. This could clog your air compressor over a period of time and affect its performance. This also means greater need and higher costs of maintenance. Air filters cut down the amount of particulate matter that enters your compressor, and reduce its ill effects.

2. Regulators

If your tool requires say 120 psi pressure while your air compressor is feeding it around 150 psi, this means wasted energy, higher costs, more pressure on components, and greater wear and tear. Regulators adjust the pressure levels of the compressor to match the requirements of the tool.

3. Hoses

Having the right kind of hoses that connect your compressor to the tool is important. Hoses that are too long can lead to wastage of energy, while hoses too short mean reduced productivity. You must also inspect the hoses regularly to check for leaks or breakages. Replace worn-out hoses as quickly as detected.

4. Tools

Having the right tools such as spray guns, drills, nail guns etc. is important to get the job done. Lack of well-maintained or high-standard tools means poor performance no matter how good your air compressor is.

5. Aftercoolers and dryers

Moisture in the air compressor can cause contamination or corrosion. This can be removed using aftercoolers and air dryers. aftercoolers use temperature control to remove excessive moisture from the air while dryers use silica gel, activated alumina, or molecular sieves to de-vapourise the air.

Environmental impact of accessories

Air compressor accessories are not just essential for a well-functioning workshop but they also contribute to a better environment. Accessories like effective regulators or right-sized hoses prevent excessive use or wastage of electricity. ELGi puts a huge premium on manufacturing environment-friendly air compressor systems.

Having the right kind of accessories is necessary for greater efficiency, productivity, maintenance and longeivity of your air compressor.

7 Maintenance Hacks to Extend the Lifespan of Your Pumps

by vemcoblogs - August 30, 2023September 6, 2023

If you are a pump owner, you must know that it is critical to maintain your pump for a number of reasons. For starters, an inefficient pump is an energy guzzler. With electricity costs rising all the time, you just cannot afford that. Secondly, a well-maintained pump is an asset for a long time to come. Negligence of sudden breakdowns will only lead to a spike in your operation costs or worse loss in business due to downtime. No wonder water pump dealers across the board always emphasize the need for a preventative pump maintenance schedule. VEMC is a leading Kirloskar water pump dealer

In this blog, we share with you the 7 maintenance hacks that can extend the lifespan of your pump

1. Regular inspection and monitoring

Preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid sudden breakdowns. We are the leading Kirloskar pump dealers, and when our engineers visit your facility, they check all the pump-related parameters to ensure there are no serious deviations. Typically, the engineer would check the bearing temperature, monitor vibrations, or simply carry out visual inspections.

2. Proper lubrication

Given so many moving component parts like bearings in a pump, it is necessary to keep it well-oiled. This prevents damage due to unnecessary friction, inefficiency in operations and waste of energy. As any Kirloskar pump distributor would suggest, regular lubrication of your pumps is a must to extend its lifespan.

3. Cleaning and clearing the debris

Debris could actually accumulate in the bearings which could hinder free movement and aggravate wear and tear of the parts. Clean up the debris regularly to avoid damage.

4. Maintaining seals and gaskets

Seals prevent the fluid from leaking out, causing hazards, housekeeping issues, or health concerns. Keep checking in regularly and ensure proper pump seals and gasket maintenance to avoid such issues and ensure pump longevity.

5. Balancing and alignment

As all industrial water pump suppliers in Mumbai would warn you, balancing and aligning the pump is of utmost necessity. An imbalanced or misaligned pump can damage itself due to persistent vibrations over a period of time, causing high risks of sudden breakdowns.

6. Temperature and operating conditions

A pump is best operated in clean and dry conditions to avoid contact with too much dust or debris. Besides, both extremes of temperature can damage the pump. Assess your operating conditions before installing the pump.

7. Training and education

Having a preventative maintenance schedule is not enough. It is also important that your staff is well trained and educated in the art and science of maintenance. Monitoring and regular inspections should become a part of your work culture. In case you cannot afford an in-house maintenance team, you can always seek help from professional services like VEMC.
A preventative pump maintenance schedule can help avoid unnecessary breakdown costs or downtime. This can have significant implications for your business.

8 Steps to Successfully Adopt Renewable Energy Solutions

by vemcoblogs - August 29, 2023September 6, 2023

Renewable energy is fast emerging as the most favoured source of energy globally. Globally 29 per cent of electricity generation in 2020 came from renewables, whether hydel power projects, windmills or solar installations.

At VEMC we have unmatched expertise in solar panel installation. If you’re looking for sound advice on transitioning to solar energy, we are also one of the most competent solar consultants out there.

Benefits of renewable energy

Renewable energy is non-polluting in nature. There is a serious clamour across the world to reduce reliance on fossils which generate CO2, to clean renewable energy. This is especially true in the global warming context that has become humanity’s number one global worry.

Renewable energy is more affordable with stable prices. In a world where fossil reserves are increasingly dwindling and their prices rising uncontrollably, renewable energy provides hope. Renewable energy is also much more immune to geopolitical shocks and supply-chain bottlenecks in case of war, political upheaval or natural disasters.

Renewable energy means employment, inclusion and sustainability. The generation and distribution of renewable energy create plenty of jobs. As the industry evolves, more and more entrepreneurs are expected to be attracted to it. This will include a lot of women and local communities, thus creating a more democratic, egalitarian and inclusive world.

8 steps to adopt renewable energy

As a leading solar energy company, VEMC can help you transition from your conventional source of energy to renewable energy without much serious hassle. All you need is a clear roadmap ahead, which can be summed in these 8 steps below:

1. Assess

7 Reasons Why Your Air Compressor is Losing Pressure and How to Fix It

by vemcoblogs - July 21, 2023July 21, 2023

Industrial processes invest a substantial portion of their operational expenses in compressing air. But if your compressor is losing pressure, it means a waste of electricity, higher costs and lower profit margins. It also means your compressor is working harder to maintain the pressure and thus going through more wear and tear. Any compressor dealer in Mumbai will tell you the importance of maintaining optimum air pressure in a compressor.

In This Blog, We Take You Through 7 Main Reasons Why Your Air Compressor Could Be Losing Pressure And How To Fix It:

Leaks In The Air System

Ruptures in hoses, piping trees, nozzles and connectors connecting your air compressor and pneumatic tools cause leakage of air. This inevitably leads to a drop in air pressure. To avoid this problem, get your compressor systems regularly inspected for ruptures and leaks by VEMC –– the leading ELGi Air Compressor Dealers in Mumbai.

Faulty pressure regulator

Regulators control the passage of air through your air compressor systems. A faulty, sub-optimal or undersized pressure regulator can cause a drop in air pressure. Always ensure you are choosing the right-sized pressure regulator for your compressor. Also, do not suppress your regulator to compensate for lost pressure. This can cause it to become unresponsive in the long run. Whenever there’s an inexplicable drop in pressure, get your pressure regulator inspected by your nearest Air Compressor Dealers in Mumbai.

Inadequate Air Intake

Another highly likely reason could be that your air compressor is simply not taking in enough air from the inlet. Get this problem fixed by inspecting, cleaning and removing any physical barriers to air at the inlet.

Worn or damaged valves

There will always be a slight drop in pressure as soon as the air enters the valves since the momentum is interrupted. This can get worse in case your valves are worn out or damaged. Always keep the air compressors in good working condition by having an effective maintenance regime in place.

Clogged Or Dirty Filters

Just like in your car, air compressor filters can get dirty due to dust or other particulates over a period of time, especially in factory or workshop settings. Dirty or clogged filters can rob your air compressor of fresh air which inevitably leads to a drop in pressure. The solution of course is regular clean-up and replacement of air filters.

Malfunctioning Pressure Switch

In case the pressure switch fails or malfunctions, it gets very difficult for the air compressor to maintain the pressure. Get the switch inspected and repaired in case air pressure keeps dropping inexplicably.

Insufficient Lubrication

Finally, insufficient lubrication in the air compressor system can be another cause of a drop in air pressure. Air compressors need optimally sized lubricators. In case yours aren’t performing up to the mark or aren’t supporting the load, get them replaced. Get lubricators that have the best ratings for maximum pressure drop reduction.

7 Essential Checks for Metal Roof Maintenance in Solar Plant Systems

by vemcoblogs - July 20, 2023July 20, 2023

To make sure your solar rooftop system offers optimum efficiency, you must have a robust maintenance regime in place. Proper inspection and maintenance also help improve the working life of your panels and reduce the costs of depreciation and sudden breakdown. These services are often provided by the same solar energy company that you procure your panels from.

In This Blog, We Tell You About The 7 Essential Checks That You Must Perform To Ensure Proper Maintenance Of Your Solar Rooftop System:

Roof Inspection

Before Solar Panel Installation, make sure your roof would be able to withstand the burden of the mounted solar panels. In case the age of your roof is ten years or more, it is advisable to get it replaced before installing a solar rooftop system. Also, check for any seepages or leakages in the roof.

Cleaning and Debris Removal

Check for any debris in the inverter pad area or elsewhere. Look for any signs of animal infestation such as excreta etc. all over the system and clean it regularly. Wipe the panel surface regularly to remove dust particles that can reduce the output.

Gutters and Drainage System

The solar rooftop system must have adequate drainage. Check for any water pooling on the roof and ensure that the drainage is seamless. Any water seeping into the system can cause damage to the equipment, and water on the panels can reduce their efficiency.

Sealant and Waterproofing

Mounting a solar rooftop system requires drilling multiple holes into the roofing. This makes waterproofing of the roof essential. This is done by using waterproofing membranes that seal cracks, crevices and seams. For long-term reliability, make sure the waterproofing has been done by a reputed roofer.

Rust and Corrosion Prevention

Rusting can affect the electronic circuits of your solar panels reducing the electricity generated. Besides, corrosion on the outside brackets or racking system can weaken the structure on which the Solar Rooftop System is mounted. Check for rust regularly, use metals that are rust-proof such as anodized aluminium or stainless steel, and ensure complete waterproofing.

Solar Panel Mounting

This is a more physical aspect of the solar panel system. Having a robust mounting structure is necessary to prevent damage to not just your panels but also to avoid accidents and injuries. A weak mounting can lead to the sudden collapse of the entire solar panel installation, which is otherwise expected to last up to 25 years.

Structural Integrity

Solar installations must be structurally sound and secure. Check whether the mounting structures are made of durable and corrosion-resistant material. These days, a number of mounting structures with high standards of reliability are available at competitive rates. Look for the warranty provided by the company, strength grade and coating, and the weight that it can support.

7 Common Causes of Cavitation in Pump Systems and How to Avoid Them

by vemcoblogs - July 20, 2023July 20, 2023

If you hear your centrifugal pump making strange noises, there’s a high likelihood that it is struggling with cavitation. In simple words, this means the formation of air bubbles around the impeller. When these bubbles burst, they create high-energy shockwaves which travel across the fluid. As any Kirloskar pump dealer will explain, cavitation can cause not just noise and vibration, but also mechanical damage and performance deterioration in the long run. VEMC is one of the leading Kirloskar Pump Dealers in the country.

In This Blog, We Explain To You The 7 Common Causes Of Cavitation And Ways To Avoid Them:

1.Insufficient NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head Available)

When the liquid in a pump vapourises at low pressure, it causes cavitation in the pump. This happens when there isn’t enough pressure at the suction end or the pump has insufficient NPSHA. To avoid cavitation, therefore, it is important that sufficient NPSHA is available so as to ensure the liquid always remains above the vapour pressure. The pump manufacturer determines the NPSH required for each pump, and your Kirloskar pump distributor can give you all the information on this.

2. High Pump Speed Or Impeller Design

When an impeller starts to rotate at a high speed (high RPM), the flow rate and head pressure naturally increase. This causes vapourisation cavitation in the pump. To avoid it, reduce the motor speed, install an impeller inducer, or add a booster pump. Ask your Kirloskar Pump Authorised Dealer for more.

3. Inlet Restrictions Of Blockages

This is one of the most common causes of inlet re-circulation cavitation. Regular check-ups of your pumps are necessary to find blockages. Remove any accumulation of debris that may be clogging the downstream filter.

4. Vaporous Or Aerated Liquids

A vaporous or aerated liquid has the inherent properties of creating bubbles that can burst to cause cavitation in the pump system. As much as possible, avoid processing such liquids through your pumping systems.

5. High Fluid Temperature or Pressure Drop

High temperature or pressure drop inside the pump can also speed up the process of vapourisation of the liquid. This can again cause vapourisation cavitation. As your Water Pump Dealers would advise, it is always best to reduce (and keep under check) the temperature of your pump, its components and the liquid itself.

6. Inadequate Npshr Margin

The NPSHR margin basically represents the safety factor by which the NPSHA must exceed the NPSHR so as to avoid cavitation. An inadequate margin means a lesser buffer and higher chances of cavitation. Speak to your Kirloskar pump dealer and ascertain all parameters to ensure the least possible cavitation.

7. Pump Maintenance And Operation

Cavitation, like any other mechanical issue can aggravate in case the pump falls into disrepair. To ensure the pump is in the best working condition, and cavitation is minimum, regular maintenance is important. Inspect the components of the pump frequently to look for signs of cavitation.
