When Trelleborg Sealing Solutions
became concerned about the energy
use of its hydraulic power packs, it
turned to ABB Drives Alliance
member, Inverter Drives Systems
(IDS) for a solution.
IDS installed four 18.5kW ABB standard drives to automatically maintain the system pressure just below the system unload value, using a pressure transducer to feed back to the drive's internal PID control.
Energy savings achieved on this application are £2,742 per motor, or £10,960 for the four motors, with a payback time of 11 months.
