Resource-Efficient Energy Use
Small but powerful: Though they may seem minor, differences in the technical data can have big effects. A small example shows how: The typical efficiency of a simple power supply with nominal power of 960 W is 91%. With the new Pro 2 Power Supply, the efficiency is 96.3%. At first glance, 5.3 percent doesn’t seem like much, but it makes all the difference: The superior efficiency of the Pro 2 Power Supplies eliminates 37 W of power loss. Calculated over an operating life of five years, this translates to a savings of €209 on energy costs and one metric ton of CO2. For comparison: An 80-year-old beech tree standing 75 feet (23 m) tall can store about one metric ton of CO2 – so with several hundred power supplies in a production line, that would be a whole forest. As you can see, a small difference, but a big effect!
