Industrial Air System Controls: Overview and Uses

Selecting the proper industrial air system controls is essential for optimum production in any industrial facility. It results in significant energy savings, reliability and pressure reduction, and improved system management within the facility.

 

A comprehensive industrial air system controller directly affects the operating and maintenance costs. Energy savings go up to 15-20%, and long-term maintenance costs get reduced by 7-10% if the industrial facility has an efficient industrial air system controller. Blackhawk Equipment has successfully implemented many such industrial air system controls using Benshaw starting air and variable frequency drives and Bay controllers.

Variable Frequency Drives

The Benshaw family variable frequency drives feature a unique technology that allows Benshaw to offer a simple, flexible, and reliable drive solution. The M2L MV drive family is specially designed to offer greater versatility and easy integration making it easily adaptable to application’s unique requirements. Versatility enables various installation configurations to make the solution suitable for operation in different environmental conditions while providing significant cost savings and reduced total cost of ownership.
 

The modular power-cell based M2L inverter uses most reliable components such as LV IGBTs and dry-type film capacitors and equipped with the latest in technology safety features such as fast and reliable arc flash detection system.
 

The modular power cell based design and advanced remote monitoring system minimizes any probable down-town and consequently, highest availability.
 

The M2L spans a power range from 300 HP to 12,000 HP, operating at industry-standard medium voltages up to 7.2 kV. The M2L drive can accept up to a 35kV input.
