Significant energy savings with emotron high power drives in drinking water pump application
After an investment in Emotron drives, the Turkish municipality of Batman city has reduced its energy consumption by 10%. Replacing Soft Starters with VFDs and PID control has lead to significant energy savings, an improved lifespan of the plant’s pumps and motors and a reduction in manual labor.
Local partner replaced softstarters with VFDs
In this project Kontek, part of the Kontek Enerji group, a Turkish partner of CG Drives & Automation, replaced the existing (x6) 450kW and (x3) 560kW Soft Starters with FDU series VFDs.
With this change, starting currents have been reduced and a smooth speed control feature has been made available.
Modular building blocks reducing downtime
The 9 compact Emotron IP54 drives are made up of Power Electronic Building Blocks - PEBBs.
Each PEBB has circuit breaker both supply-side and motor side. This modular structure allows for easy replacement without having to stop the drive.
At H2flow Controls, support of Emotron products is always available all the way from the early stages of the project to commissioning the drive at your site. H2flow also offers a global service network for all your service requirements.
Extensive partner experience of high power drives
The skilled team at Kontek easily installed this setup at Batman city in less than 6 hours.
Pressure sensors and VFDs in perfect harmony
The PID control take in information on pressure and flow from external pressure sensors via CanBus communication. Feedback from the sensors are used by the VFD to calculate and determine optimal speed.
This new technology and automated process leads to significant energy savings, and replaces manual valve control and labor costs.
Flexible products to fit your cabinets
The Emotron drives are expertly built into cabinets by CG Drives & Automation’s Turkish partner Kontek.
In Batman city, local restrictions applied and cabinets had to be tailor made to fit e.g. plant layout and dimensions. The Emotron drive PEBB structure of the drives offered the flexibility required.
