HI NEWS ITEM; Hi NEWS: DONALDSON RANKS HIGHLY IN 2013


December 6, 2013
Long regarded as a leader among its peers, Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE:DCI), a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, is pleased to announce that the company ranked high once again in 2013 both as a U.S. technology leader and as a Minnesota-based publicly traded company.

Each year, IndustryWeek, a leading voice in manufacturing for more than 40 years, compiles a variety of lists to rank U.S. manufacturers among their peers. In 2013, Donaldson excelled in the IW’s lists as shown below:

  • IW US 500 ranks America's largest public manufacturers, based on revenue. In 2013, Donaldson was number 324 in the list of 500, up from 340 the prior year. Within this list, Donaldson also ranked as the #2 U.S. machinery manufacturer.

  • IndustryWeek 50 Best U.S. Manufacturers, an exclusive annual ranking of America's top-performing public manufacturers based on their financial performance in six key areas over a three-year period, ranked Donaldson 18, up from 39 in 2012. Financial metrics measured include inventory turns, profit margin, asset turns, return on assets, return on equity and revenue growth.

“As a global leader in industrial filtration solutions, we are pleased that our company continues to move up in the rankings among our peers as part of IndustryWeek’s annual benchmarks,” said Jay Ward, senior vice president, Industrial Products at Donaldson Company, Inc. “These rankings are a testament to our continued focus on technology and customer service coupled with the commitment of our employees to advancing our technologies and products.”

In Minnesota, Donaldson continues to excel as a publicly-traded company in terms of financial performance, technology advancement and as a desirable place to work.

In 2013, Donaldson ranked in the Top 10 (#9) of the Twin Cities Business B.I.G. Book of Lists showcasing the “Top 25 Publicly Traded Manufacturers.” The Company also ranked #12 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal “Top 25 Public Company R&D Spending” list, a modest jump from 15 in 2012. Both rank companies based on annual revenue.

As a patent holder, Donaldson was also showcased among its peers in 2013. With 43 U.S. granted patents, Donaldson ranked #11 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal “Top 25 Index of Patent Holders.” Additionally, the Company was selected as a constituent in the 2012-2013 Ocean Tomo 300® Patent Index (OT300), a diversified portfolio of 300 companies that own the most valuable U.S. patents relative to their book value.

Donaldson ranked 18 among the top 100 Minnesota employers in the Star Tribune’s 2013 “Top Workplaces.” Surveyed by Workplace Dynamics, employees were surveyed on “Me factors” – career, pay and management – and “We factors” – where their company is going, its strategy to get there and what makes their company different.

“Minnesota is a state rich in public companies, IP and innovation, and employers who know the value their people bring to the organization,” continued Ward. “Donaldson is honored to be ranked so highly among other Minnesota employers. We appreciate the commitment of all our constituents for their continued support of Donaldson.”

Hi Green Tip #4: Hi Size and Select Fans Near Their Peak Total Efficiency.

Even the most efficient fan models can operate inefficiently if improperly sized.Fans selected close to their peak total efficiency (pTE) will use less energy. The 2012 International Green Construction Code requires selections within 10% of peak efficiency, and ASHRAE Standard 90.1,

Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, is considering language that would require a 15% allowable range. If a fan is selected to operate more than 15 point below its peak efficiency, it is probably undersized to result in the lowest purchase price (first cost). The smaller, less-expense fan will have to run much faster with higher levels of internal turbulence than its larger cousin to meet the required air flow, thus consuming a lot more energy.The cost difference to select a larger fan closer to peak operating efficiency is very small when compared to the energy saved.

Simple payback for 10% selections is usually less than one year. Smaller fans operating faster will also require more maintenance and earlier replacement. Smaller fans generate more noise as well.Below is a table showing the output from a fan manufacturer's sizing and selection program. All of the fans in the table would "do the job" of providing the required airflow at the required pressure.

The fan sizes range from 18-inches in diameter to 36-in. Notice that as the fan diameter increases, the fan speed decreases, as does the fan power (expressed as "brake horsepower"). The red region of the table indicates poor fan selection practice - none of these fans have an actual total efficiency (at the airflow and pressure required) within 15 points of peak total efficiency. The green region indicates proper fan selection process - all have an actual total efficiency within 15 points of peak total efficiency.

Note that the 30-in. diameter fan consumes roughly half the power of the 18-in. fan. The lowest cost fan shown is probably the 20-in. fan, with an efficiency of 49%, 29 points off the peak. If this fan runs 6,000 hours per year at a utility rate of 10 cents per kwh, it will cost $4,300 a year to operate. A more efficient selection might be the 24-in. fan because it is "Class I" and complies with both ASHRAE 90.1 and the Green code requirements. It has an actual efficiency of 69%, 10 points less than the peak efficiency of 79%. This fan would cost $3,100 to operate, which is probably more than the fan itself costs. A more efficient 30 inch selection is only 1 point from its peak efficiency of 83% and will consume only $2,600 per year, saving $500 a year relative to a 24-in. fan, and $1,700 a year over the lowest cost fan. Generally, the difference in initial cost of the most efficient fan selection is paid back in less than 5 years over more common less efficient alternatives. Perhaps this observation will bring it home.

Most fans consume more each year in energy cost than they are worth. So, when you buy a fan, think of it as a liability, not an asset. Your objective should be to make the liability placed on those who will pay future energy bills as low as possible. The leverage implicit in choosing a larger, more efficient fan is much greater than most people appreciate. And fans last a long time – 20 years plus – so choose wisely.The bottom line is this. Right-sizing a fan can yield energy savings and generate a lot of operating cost savings for the facility owner or occupants for many, many years.
