THE DRAWBACKS OF A
CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
SOURCE CANNOT BE USED.
IT CONSUMES COSTLY
ELECTRICITY.
IT USES CFC / HCFC
SUBSTANCES .
OPERATING COST IS VERY
HIGH .
MAINTENANCE COST IS
HIGH.

COSTS

THE TIME HAS COME

TO THINK ABOUT...
POWER COST
POWER AVAILABILITY
CFC ISSUE
GAS AVAILABILITY
CO-GENERATION
LIFE CYCLE COST

THE TIME HAS

COME FOR...
AN ALTERNATIVE
TECHNOLOGY

BECAUSE YOU ....

HAVE LOW COST FUELS
AVAILABLE
HAVE POWER CRISIS
WAITING ROUND THE
CORNER
WANT TO AVOID CFC
RELATED ISSUES
WILL BE DELIGHTED TO
REDUCE THE OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE COSTS
DESERVE UNMATCHED
