Electronic fan control for 50% energy reduction Traditional regulation of air streams employs dampers, with the fans running in on/off operation dimensioned for maximum required flow. As energy consumption rises with the cube of the fan speed, only half of the energy is required to run the fan 20% below maximum speed. 22009-07-16T11:23:53+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=3http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=3Leading sugar and distillery companies choose Danfoss Drives Danfoss VLT® frequency converters operate in leading sugar plants and distilleries all over the world.

A thermally tested, dedicated kit allows high power drives up to 1,5 MW to be mounted in Rittal cabinets. Using the drive’s main fan. 85% of excess heat is dissipated without contact to the electronics. Installation savings 10 drives providing 6.3 MW (at 690 V) produce 126 kW of process heat. Leading the heatsink cooling air through the outside wall, only 19 kW must be removed from the room, reducing investment in cooling capacity and operational significantly. IP 55 for harsh environments IP 66 for wash down areas All VLT® AutomationDrive versions have Manganese Phosphorus rear bodies. The back of IP 66 is dipcoated with epoxy or polyester spray finish (60-100 μm). The cover is powder coated (80-100 μm). The IP 66 enclosed drives are suited for installation in outdoor and in wash-down areas. The silicone gasket is tested with different detergents, so the drives withstand the harsh cleaning agents in the food & beverage industry. Coated control boards are available for harsh environments. Danfoss provides a broad range of IP 66/NEMA 4 enclosed drives suited for mounting in production areas, exposed to humidity, dust and frequent washdowns. 42009-07-16T11:23:53+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=5http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=5Coated control boards are available for harsh environments. VLT® flexibility through the whole power range Easy upgrade With the VLT® plug-and-play flexibility in adding option cards in the drive, it is child’s play to expand the standard drive. Minimum time and no extra space is required. Same hardware up to 1,2 MW The same VLT® hardware is used for the entire power range up to 1,2 MW. Up to 300 metres between the drive and the motor The basic design of VLT® drives allows for up to 150 metres of screened motor cable or 300 metres screened cable – without disturbing other electronic equipment. This allows the VLT® to be installed in a central control room – far away from some of the most remote variable speed conveyors and machines in a modern bottling plant. Highly efficient components and innovative designs make Danfoss VLT® drives extremely compact as well as easy to commission and operate.

VLT® benefits are: • Less energy consumption • Less waste and material • Better, consistent product quality Improved pump control VLT® drives have several pump dedicated features that optimise production and protect the drive, the motor and the equipment. Flow compensation Flow resistance is dependent on flow speed. The drive will reduce the pressure when low flow is sufficient to save energy. Motor alternation Built-in logic can control alternation between two pumps in duty/standby applications. Motion of the standby pump prevents the pump from sticking. Comparison of energy consumption For centrifugal pumps, power consumed is directly proportional to the cube of the speed: %P = (%rpm)3 Therefore a small reduction in pump speed results in a large reduction in energy consumption. Even a 20% reduction in pump speed results in almost 50% reduction in energy consumption. Energy savings using a VLT® drive are achieved even with a modest reduction in speed. Energy optimisation VLT® drives have Automatic Energy Optimisation, assuring optimal magnetisation in the motor. Bus control Automation means less waste and better process control. VLT® drives handle the most common bus protocols in the industry and integrate seamlessly into the overall control system. Easy commissioning and service The VLT® drives can be commissioned from the drive display or using MCT10 PC software in its free-of-charge down load version. The MCT10 configuration tool makes setup of the drive parameters child’s play. The application status can be followed in the drive display during operation. System performance is easily tracked. Sugar production in Usina Coruripe’s Iturama plant in Brazil using Danfoss drives. Improved ROI in co-generation plants The by-products of sugarcane after the sugar production is used as fuel in cogeneration of power and heat. The produced power is purchased by the Government electricity boards. Leading sugar companies choose VLT® drives In these power plants. VLT® drives operate fans, boiler feed water pumps and increase manufacturer’s ROI (return on investments). 62009-07-16T11:23:53+02:00http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=7http://danfoss.ipapercms.dk/Drives/DD/UK/SBAs/SBASugar/?Page=7Precise and configurable speed synchronisation Fewer encoders New VLT® drives provide open-loop positioning with high accuracy and minimum installation cost, so that encoders and encoder cables can often be omitted. Less downtime Adjustable ramps ensure that bottles on conveyors don’t fall over during starts and stops. Positioning functions ensure that bottles are placed correctly in an inspection situation – regardless of production speed. Less noise – less waste Syncronisation features adjust conveyor speeds according to the overall production to prevent congestion, broken bottles, noise, and energy waste.
