IMO has developed two inverter drives sharing the same hardware configuration and accessories.  The VXH is primarily for HVAC applications and the VXA (Aqua) for the water and wastewater industries.  The VXA Aqua has features and functions tailored to satisfy the process and energy conservation requirements of the water industry.  These include cascading pump control and linearization, a feature designed to reduce terminal pressures during periods of low demand and thus reduce leakage.

With a wide power range 0.75kW to 710kW, the VXA drive is for applications ranging from hot and cold water supply pumps up to large scale water infrastructure projects. All drives have built-in EMC filtering as standard, and drives up to 90kW include a DCR reactor built-in.  Protection ratings are available as IP21 or IP55 covering a wide range of installation options. Jaguar VXA drives are supplied with IMOs five year guarantee.

In addition to offering the energy savings expected from VSD  for speed control, the VXA Aqua offers other energy saving features such as linearization which reduces terminal pressures during periods of low demand, thus reducing water wasted through leakage and seepage. Pump downtime can also be reduced by using the anti-ragging feature to reduce pump clogging.

Water purification plant, wastewater, clean water and sewage treatment plants

The Jaguar VXA (Aqua) drive has specific water industry features that suit almost all of the applications found within water treatment plants. In addition to accurate process control the VXA can also significantly reduce energy usage and maintenance costs.

Pumping stations and pressure boosting stations

With cascading pump control, 4 built in PID controllers, dry pump detection, condensation prevention and linearization functions the VXA is ideally suited to this type of application. With the built in PLC and real time clock functions and multitude of communication options the drive can be installed as part of a system or used as a stand-alone controller.

Irrigation systems

Sharing many of the same requirements as remote pumping stations the VXA as a stand-alone controller is ideally suited to modern irrigation systems.

Blowers

The VXA is also equipped with many functions that control blowers that are used within water treatment facilities for aeration. These features include automatic energy saving operation and the ability to start onto a rotating load.
