Drives for marine pumps and separators

Name: Drives for marine pumps and separators
Brand: Danfoss (Editron, Drives, IXA)

Danfoss VLT and VACON AC drives for marine pumps and separators, with pump-specific control functions, energy savings and type approvals from nine classification societies.

Description

Drives for marine pumps and separators are Danfoss VLT® and VACON® AC drives that match pump and separator operation to actual process demand, cutting energy consumption and protecting the equipment. Reducing pump speed by 20% reduces power consumption by 50%.

Key features – pumps

Built-in PID controllers, dry pump detection, flying start and sleep mode
Cascade control, end-of-curve detection and flow compensation
Optimisation of scrubber water pumps on SOx abatement systems for main and auxiliary engines and boilers

Key features – separators

Smooth acceleration protecting gearbox and high-speed bowl bearings
Tolerance to discharge shock loads
Catches a spinning separator on the fly after power failure and brakes it without resistors

Applications

Ballast water, bilge water, circulation, cargo, firefighting, feed, lubrication and seawater pumps; bilge water, fuel conditioning and oil centrifuge separators.

Approvals

Class type approvals from DNV-GL, ABS, Bureau Veritas, Korean Register, CCS, RINA, Lloyd's Register, RMRS and Class NK.

Charge air cooling

Alfa Laval charge air coolers for marine and industrial engines, cooling intake air after the turbocharger, with aluminium or copper fins and integrated housings tailored to the engine.
