Variable Frequency Drive Systems
Grundfos designs and builds single and multiple pump pressure
booster systems. They focus on variable speed pump systems
because they offer many advantages.
Some of the advantages:
-
Lower maintenance cost - Pressure
Regulator Valves (PRVs) require periodic adjustment
and maintenance. Variable speed systems do not. Pumps
are not subject to full speeds when flow requirements
are low, a condition which causes pump wear and may
require high temperature dump valves to prevent seal
damage.
-
Quieter - Variable speed systems
reduce noise because pumps run quieter at slow speeds
and PRV noise is eliminated.
-
Reliable - Advances in electronics
have made VFDs very reliable and rugged.
-
Cost effective to buy and install
- Prices for VFD systems often match or are less than
PRV systems. Tank sizes are 5-10% the size of tanks
required for PRV systems, an important factor when
ASME tanks are required. Variable frequency drive
systems do not require time consuming PRV adjustments.
-
Space saving - Reduced tank size,
integrated variable frequency drives, and reduced
control panel size save valuable space.
