The things we consume involve countless processes, from production to delivery, all working together like clockwork.
Within our companies/ businesses, we hire people to operate and make sure that we keep going. But at the end of the day, we all rely on the products to deliver.
As we enter our next normal, it is also important to take this opportunity to build a more resilient and sustainable foundation for our society. One of the ways we can do this is to invest in smart technologies that help optimize our processes and make them more efficient.
Optimizing Key Players in the Process
Moving into our next normal, we can only expect businesses to pick up the pace in production. And with this development, we can also expect our overall energy consumption to increase. However, going back to building a more resilient and sustainable foundation for our society, energy efficiency plays a critical role in creating a cheaper and more efficient path to long-term success.
Within many different industries, electric motors play an integral role in the processes that are in their facilities. They work by converting electrical energy to mechanical energy in order to create motion and have an array of applications, such as blowers, pumps, fans, and compressors.
In order to simultaneously manage energy use and the operation of our facilities efficiently, we can start with our motors.
And to ensure that our processes run efficiently, with motors running precisely at the speed that they need to run, we employ the help of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
Building with Experts
An established expert in Variable Frequency Drives is Danfoss. Danfoss is the first company in the world to mass-produce AC Variable Frequency Drives.
Since 1968, they have been honing and growing their expertise in manufacturing VFDs. Currently, they are 100% focused on developing, manufacturing, and supplying AC drives. They also have the highest level of competence and widest AC Drives Portfolio for Low Voltage and Medium Voltage Applications. They have unique in-house Power Module Technology.
Variable Frequency Drives are used to adjust the speed of electric motors to the need of an application. This allows the following:
Enhanced process control
Reduced energy usage and energy generated efficiently
Decreased mechanical stress on motor control applications
Optimized operation of various applications relying on electric motors
By doing this, 15-40% energy savings can be achieved.
Save More with Intelligent Drives
Achieving more than 15-40% in energy savings is also possible. With Danfoss, Variable Frequency Drives can be used and integrated as an intelligent element in your system. This can be done by taking advantage of the processing capabilities of the drive.
For example, drives can also be used either as a data hub or a controller for different kinds of applications.
As a data hub: Danfoss Drives can be used as a sensor by sensing the motor current, analyzing it, and getting different kinds of data. Then the sensors can be connected directly to the drive. As a sensor, it can be used for Condition Monitoring, which allows Condition-Based Maintenance or Predictive Maintenance.
As a controller: In controlling different kinds of applications, a drive can control an entire application for ventilation by itself, including temperature and pressure measurements. Or by using an integrated motion controller, a drive can control certain machinery (ex. palletizer).
By utilizing intelligent drives, systems are simplified and the need for external components is eliminated.
Produce High Quality, with High Quality
A global leader in AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion, and in variable speed control for electric motors, Danfoss Drives provides the world’s largest portfolio of power converters and diverse lines of VFDs.
