Booster control is used to maintain a constant pressure at the outlet by automatically varying the speed of the pumps. Altivar Process ATV600 drives allow the pumps to have an optimised consumption of power whilst time providing optimal monitoring features. Booster Control is used in several pumping processes. A typical application is water and […]
When considering the energy saving benefits of using variable speed drives (VSDs) in motors applications, we quickly become involved in speed reduction percentages and payback periods. All relevant, but sometimes hiding the true costs of running electric motors in commercial and industrial applications. Motors are good at moving fluids (mainly air and water) around, […]
FR-F800 VSD for pumps requiring more safety, security and more up-time False alarms and service visits due to the unnecessary shut-down of pumps and fans are unacceptable as industry strives for greater productivity through operational efficiency and plant availability. The on-board intelligence in Mitsubishi Electric’s FR-F800 inverter drive virtually eliminates nuisance tripping. […]
In a recent white paper considering energy efficient pumping systems, Schneider Electric considers a pump system energy management approach for the energy efficiency of the pumping system and of its component parts. In pumping systems, most inefficiency comes from a mismatch between the pump deployed and the actual system requirement, and the improper use […]
ABB’s new ACS480 | the essential VSD for energy efficiency in motors. Part of ABB’s all-compatible drives range, the new ACS480 is a general-purpose inverter drive offering users with optimised energy efficiency in a simple drive for fans, pumps, and similar applications from 0.70 to 11kW three phase 380/480V. The ACS480 […]
