Ecological facilities in Japan

A wind power plant was installed in March 2004 to reduce stress on the environment. It generates power for the foot lights near the reception building.

The daily maximum disposal ability is 12.5 t. Because microorganisms decompose oil and organic matters, we gain two huge benefits, very low malodor and very little amount of sediments.

A system where discounted nighttime electricity is used to store ice/ hot water in heat storage tanks to use for air conditioning in the daytime.

The Isehara Works received an award for applying heat pump thermal storage at the “13th thermal storage forum”. The reason for the award was “the continuous adoption of sustainable ice thermal storage system” for “protecting the earth for the next generation”; and “eco ice”, “high efficiency heat pump chiller”, and “high efficiency turbo freezing machine” were the subject of the award.

Amada introduced this transformer, which clears the transformer facility high-efficiency standard value set by the central government and offers exceptional energy efficiency compared with other transformers currently available in the market (2007).

Amada has introduced a system that operates plant air-conditioning and heating equipment efficiently, by automatically increasing or decreasing the operating time of multiple air-conditioning and heating equipment according to temperature conditions.

NAS (sodium/sulfur) battery facilities are systems for storing electric power at night and utilizing the batteries for electric power during the daytime. NAS batteries are subject to the Electric Power Load Smoothing Measures Promotion Policy prescribed by Japan's central government.

Nighttime electrical power is used to drive a centrifugal chiller and store cold water in a heat storage tank. The cold water is then used in production processes during the day.

Because the large 1,000m³ scale of our thermal storage system including the "cold water nighttime thermal storage facility" contributes to significantly reducing CO2 emissions, Amada received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Heat Pump & Thermal Storage Technology Center of Japan.
