Has small slope amperage increase compared to other starting methods, hence it will prolong the service life of motor, contactor and compressor.
By adding only one VSD unit to the other conventional air compressors, as an energy efficient network, the whole system will improve the operation efficiency greatly.
By maintaining the set pressure ± 0.1 bar,the VSD will save a good portion of electrical consumption.
Type / Item | Conventional unit | VSD unit |
---|---|---|
Set pressure | 6~8 kg/cm2 | 7 kg/cm2 |
Frequency & HP | 60HZ(50HP) | 18~60HZ(15HP~50HP) |
Unloading amp (Voltage) | 53.5A(219V) | 11A(225V) |
Rated amp (Voltage) | 117.6A(214V) | 107.3A(222.1V) |
Load / Unload ratio | Unload 50% √3*219*53.5*0.875÷1000=17.76kW |
Full load √3*222.1*107.3*0.875÷1000=36.12kW |
Full load 50% √3*214*117.6*0.875÷1000=38.14kW |
Constant load 36.12÷8*7=31.6kW |
|
Hourly energy consumption | 38.14*50%+17.76*50%=27.95kW | 31.6kW÷50%=15.8kW |
Hourly energy saving | 27.95 - 15.8 = 12.15 (kW) | |
P.S.:kW(Motor kW)=√3‧E(voltage)‧I(amp)‧cos θ(PF)÷1000 |
