On energy savings with frequency converters
Thread Content
Under normal production conditions, the electricity consumption for acid production from minerals is 110–115 kWh. It is said that frequency converters help save energy; I would like to know what the typical electricity consumption is in acid production plants where frequency converters are used for both fans and acid pumps.
90-100, it depends on the situation
It depends on the selection of fans and pumps. When it comes to energy savings for fans, if I were to handle it, I could achieve 25%-30% energy savings
It’s not necessarily the case; it depends on one’s own situation. It will definitely reduce energy consumption. However, the initial investment is substantial.
Looking at the specific operating parameters, the greater the difference between the nominal values for industrial and commercial use, the more significant the energy savings.
The specific details depend on the production load
Specifically, it depends on the operating load of the motor: when the motor is running at a low load, the frequency converter helps to save energy significantly. However, when the motor is running at full load, the frequency converter does not help to save energy, and it actually consumes power itself
