Feasibility of installing a frequency converter on vacuum units
Thread Content
How to install an inverter on a vacuum pump unit: one reason is to save electricity； Second, to meet the requirements of the manufacturing process.
Sure, many dry pumps use frequency converters to control the vacuum level
How is process design and route planning carried out, teacher?
Installing an inverter is definitely feasible, but the frequency adjustment range needs to be carefully considered. The adjustable range of different vacuum pumps varies.
Energy saving is practically meaningless; the main purpose is to protect the rotor. The effective operating speed range for vacuum pump loads is very narrow, and relying on motor frequency conversion to adjust the vacuum level is not very effective.
It is possible from an electrical principle standpoint； However, the equipment manufacturers do not recommend such installation; they only suggest that the frequency converter be used for starting purposes only, as the equipment was designed for a original frequency of 50Hz, and the exact reason for this is not clear.
Our company recently installed an inverter on a vacuum pump, and the energy-saving effect was significant.
