Unlock the Potential of Your Air Compressors With Our Energy Solutions

Moisture in compressed air can block control airlines, damage tools, and cause water hammer, leading to equipment damage. It also promotes corrosion, creating rust and scale that can foul lines and damage components. To avoid contaminating your products or damaging your system, you can install dryers to remove excess moisture from gas outputs and ensure everything works optimally.

Unlock the Potential of Your Air Compressors With Our Energy Solutions

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are advanced control devices that can adjust the motor speed of air compressors according to demand. By optimizing energy consumption and eliminating the need for constant full-speed operation, VFDs result in significant energy savings and increased efficiency, leading to substantial cost reductions.

How Variable Frequency Drives Work

When a VFD is connected to an air compressor system, it continuously monitors the air demand and adjusts the motor speed accordingly. At the core of this machine is a variable speed drive (VSD) drivetrain, which consists of three main components: a rectifier, a DC bus, and an inverter. 

The rectifier converts the incoming AC power from the electrical grid into DC power. The DC bus acts as an intermediate energy storage system, smoothing out voltage fluctuations. The inverter then converts the DC power back into AC power with variable frequency and voltage to control the motor speed.

The VSD motor, also known as a variable or adjustable speed motor, is designed to operate in conjunction with VFDs. These machines are efficient and versatile, specifically designed to handle varying speeds, allowing them to adapt to changing load demands and ensuring your operations run smoothly. They work efficiently across a wide range of speeds, maintaining high torque at lower speeds and reducing energy consumption compared to fixed-speed motors.

What Are the Applications of Variable Frequency Drives?

Used across various industries, here are a few applications of VFDs in the Philippines:

Industrial Machinery

VFDs help control the speed of motors in conveyors, mixers, agitators, and other equipment, providing flexibility in operation and enhancing process efficiency. They also enable motors to start and stop softly, reducing mechanical stress and extending equipment life span. Additionally, they facilitate energy savings by matching motor speed with varying production requirements.

Water Treatment Systems

Often used in water treatment facilities, VFDs regulate the operation of pumps, blowers, and aerators, ensuring precise control of water flow and pressure. By adjusting motor speed to match the demand, they optimize energy consumption, resulting in significant cost savings. They also provide enhanced process control, improving water quality and enabling efficient treatment operations.

Oil and Gas Plants

VFDs control the speed of electric motors, driving pumps, compressors, and fans used in extraction, refining, and distribution processes. They enable precise control over flow rates, pressure, and temperature, ensuring optimal operation and energy efficiency. By adjusting motor speed based on real-time demand, they help increase energy savings and reduce operating costs.
