Low amp start
November 1st 2011 In 2009 DV Systems in Canada
started to develop advanced
compressor technology. The aim was
a low-cost rotary screw compressor
with a low amp start and high
performance for commercial
applications. The company believed
that a screw compressor with a
Vacon X Series of VSDs would give
The NEMA 4 (IP66) enclosure
rating of the Vacon X drive gave a
high degree of flexibility; DV
Systems could incorporate the drive
inside the compressor enclosure,
creating a clean package. The
enclosure was required to maintain a
stable operating temperature. It
reduces noise and enhances the unit's
appearance. The NEMA 4 inverter
enables the unit to operate in harsh
environments without the risk of
damaging the drive and its related
components.
Further cost reduction was
achieved by integrating the
compressor controller directly into
the Vacon X Series memory rather
than using an additional control
module. More articles from Vacon Plc: |
