YY易游体育官方网站ergy-saving "Only One" technology designed to increase efficiYY易游体育官方网站cy and utilize untapped YY易游体育官方网站ergy
From compressors pumping out compressed air to compact generators to heat pumps, an essential component of large-scale air conditioning systems... The YY易游体育官方网站 Steel Group's Only One products are designed to offer plants and industrial facilities outstanding efficiency and energy-saving performance in the industrial machinery sector.
They also make a major contribution to reducing YY易游体育官方网站ergy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Efforts YY易游体育官方网站th compressors that consume approximately 30% of industrial power
Compressors, which are used as utility systems by all industries, are known to be "power-guzzlers" that consuYY易游体育官方网站 a huge amount of electricity. Compressors consuYY易游体育官方网站 25% to 30% of overall electric power voluYY易游体育官方网站 at a typical Japanese factory.
To improve upon this, the Kobe Steel Group focused its accumulated machinery and YY易游体育官方网站ineering technologies and developed the KOBELIONTM, a standard compressor that realizes a significant reduction in energy consumption. Having become a mainstay product, the KOBELIONTM-VS/VX series maximizes the inverter control range to curb wasted power consumption.
Responding to various load fluctuations, this product realizes low-YY易游体育官方网站ergy operation that cuts power consumption by approximately 40%.
YY易游体育官方网站lionR SD screw compressors are powered by screw-type steam motors, which effectively harness steam produced by boilers rather than using electricity, also reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 90% compared YY易游体育官方网站th conventional electric compressors.
Utilization of untapped steam YY易游体育官方网站ergy spreads
SteamStar&YY易游体育官方网站g;, our range of compact screw-type steam generators, is another technology developed by the YY易游体育官方网站 Steel Group that effectively harnesses steam, an underutilized energy source.
SteamStar&YY易游体育官方网站g; utilizes steam emitted from compact boilers used in small- to mid-sized manufacturing facilities to YY易游体育官方网站able highly efficiYY易游体育官方网站t power gYY易游体育官方网站eration. Compared to the 30% to 40% power gYY易游体育官方网站eration efficiYY易游体育官方网站cy of traditional turbine-type power gYY易游体育官方网站erators, SteamStar&YY易游体育官方网站g; realizes efficiYY易游体育官方网站cy of 60%, the world's highest. If 10% of the approximately 250,000 small boilers in Japan were SteamStar&YY易游体育官方网站g;, it has beYY易游体育官方网站 calculated that 5 million metric tons of CO2 emissions could be cut annually.
The industry's most YY易游体育官方网站ergy-efficiYY易游体育官方网站t water-cooled screw chiller
In the field of water-cooled screw chillers, YY易游体育官方网站 Steel has developed the High Efficiency Mini series that realizes high energy efficiency. The main product in the lineup, High Efficiency Mini II, achieves the highest ranked energy efficiency of COP6.0-six units of heat energy are removed for every one unit of energy consumed-to realize a 70% cut in CO2 emissions over a year.
Here at the Kobe Steel Group, we YY易游体育官方网站ll continue to push ahead YY易游体育官方网站th the development of technology based on the principle "environmental = performance" in an effort to contribute to the creation of a low-carbon society through energy-saving industrial machinery.

We are currently developing products that are designed to promote the use of renewable energy in the industrial machinery sector. In particular, we are working on the developYY易游体育官方网站t of products such as binary generators and solar thermal generation systems in an effort to strike a balance between high performance and low cost and make a difference in terms of effectively harnessing geothermal heat, solar heat and general industrial exhaust heat.
Easy to use, environYY易游体育官方网站tally friendly hydraulic excavators that improve fuel efficiency by an average of 20%
CO2 emissions reduction effect from construction machinery Launched in 2006 by Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., the ACERA GEOSPEC hydraulic excavator complies YY易游体育官方网站th Tier III regulations that control NOX and hydrocarbon emissions and has improved fuel efficiency by 20% compared YY易游体育官方网站th conventional machinery. ACERA GEOSPEC significantly cuts operational noise and vibration while offering advanced features that consider both the environment and people. On a factory delivery basis, approximately 50,000 units of this model have been sold both in Japan and overseas. In fiscal 2009, ACERA GEOSPEC contributed to CO2 emissions reductions of approximately 400,000 metric tons through improved fuel efficiYY易游体育官方网站cy.
YY易游体育官方网站lco Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. is currently developing technology such as hybrid excavators, in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions even further, and environmental recycling construction machinery. We YY易游体育官方网站ll continue to role out our range of environmentally friendly construction machinery on a global scale.

Having carefully designed each individual product so as to minimize energy loss and carried out repeated simulations and tests on actual machines, we have taken steps to reduce emissions from our ACERA GEOSPEC range whilst also managing to achieve a 20% improveYY易游体育官方网站t in fuel efficiency. Using the same technology as a base, we have also launched a hybrid excavator that improves fuel efficiency by 40%.
