  • Energy savings from inverter drives in the efficient building
    As our energy reserves dwindle while costs continue to rise and as the spectre of climate change looms ever larger, it becomes ever more imperative to take action on energy savings. Recent legislation is now making the route of no-action impossible. Danfoss' John Martin, strategic business area manager, HVAC put the case forward for intelligent inverter speed control of fans and pumps in buildings.
  • Space saving variable speed drives from Vacon
    The Vacon 10 drives save money and space by controlling up to three motors with a single drive by using Vacon’s PFC (pump and fan control) technology.

    By replacing its old oil-fired boiler house with four new offsite manufactured packaged plant rooms, including a number of new pumps, Lancashire Constabulary has reduced its Hutton Hall energy bills by over £245,000 per year and its CO2 emissions by 744 tonnes annually.
  • Climate change, the water cycle and AC drives
    Climate change, increasing demands on water due to global urbanization and the legal obligations under the EUs Water Framework Directive are making the water sector an attractive place for technologies that can help reduce costs and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. Here Heikki J. Kervinen of ABB discusses the influential role AC drives can play in meeting these challenges.

Armstrong 55 kW drives for control range

30 April 2010

Armstrong has extended its IVS range of sensorless control pumps to include models with variable speed drives up to 55 kW. Previously, the drives were only available up to 7.5 kW.

Armstrong is also launching a range of standalone inverters, the IVS102, to offer specifiers variable speed pumping up to 450 kW maximum power. These inverters which automatically calculate the building demand and adjust the speed of the drives accordingly.

The IVS pump range from Armstrong has a reduced complexity of system design without the need for remote VFDs and sensors, faster maintenance and a 50% reduction in seal costs. Energy consumption can be reduced by over 20% compared to maintaining a constant pressure across the pump.
