Intelligent pump technology and product development

In recent years, the world's major pump companies have introduced their own different characteristics of intelligent pump new technologies and new products. Which will now be more typical introduction is as follows. ITT Corporation PS Series Intelligent Pump Controller ITT Corporation has introduced Patented 14-based technology Ps series of intelligent pump controller (PumpSmart), is a collection of chemical pumps, chemical process, inverter technology and expertise in three areas, A world-leading, effective solution for optimizing the performance of process systems and improving pump operation stability. Benefits include intelligent control of the pumping system, optimization and protection of the entire pumping system, stabilization of process technology, reduced maintenance of faults, longer pumping system life, improved pumping efficiency, and energy saving. Can reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs by 30% to 70%. This intelligent pump controller with dry pump operation protection, minimum flow protection and cavitation protection, and flow system can be diagnosed and emergency instrument failure, which can lead to pump and mechanical seal damage abnormal conditions, Protect the pump and maintain the pumping process. This intelligent pump controller allows the pump to run at a lower speed near the optimum efficiency point, reducing the load on the bearings and seals, extending pump life. The centrifugal pump speed reduced by 20%, you can reduce the power consumption of 50%. The 5th generation of intelligent pump controller production has also been introduced in nearly 2 years. The new pump controller intelligent pump control and protection functions more powerful, including a patent on behalf of the patent function without any instrumentation in real-time calculation of pump flow, and the error is controlled within plus or minus 5% . The introduction of this technology can be described in the field of pump control of great significance. Following the smart pump controller successfully cancel the pipeline on the mediation valve, the user then no longer need to flow meter. American Flowserve Group Intelligent Pump System American Flowserve Group developed IPSTempo series of products is a pre-designed intelligent pump optimization control and protection system. This new intelligent pump regulates pump flow, pressure, temperature and level changes, monitors process variables and pump power and provides extensive condition monitoring and control, featuring improved pump performance, less pump life cycle costs , Reduce energy consumption up to 50%, while improving the average fault interval. This new smart pump features variable frequency drive technology, pump-specific optimization software, industrial-grade power drives, and an intuitive menu-driven user interface that offers excellent protection and reliability. This new smart pump is suitable for the petrochemical industry, water industry, mining and general industry and other fields. 2.3 Germany Ville Pump Group Intelligent Pump The Ville Pump Group of Germany introduced the Stratos series of intelligent pumps using high-tech electronic rectifier motor, hydraulic model (impeller) and other high-tech, with energy saving, high efficiency, reduce noise, anti-jamming, reliable operation, Set and easy to install, easy to replace the old pump and so on. Compared with the normal pump, saving up to 80%. This series of products have been successfully applied to heating systems in Europe and were rated as the best energy-saving products, with the European A-level energy label. In addition to the heating market, Vaille Group Stratos products can operate in fluid temperatures ranging from -10 to 110 ° C. They can also be used for disinfection of hot water systems, condensers, heat pumps, solar systems, etc., outside the traditional heating market Also has great potential for energy saving. With the further development of the world's pump industry and the increasingly perfect automation of industrial pumps, the market demand for intelligent pump technology and products will surely further increase, and the application fields will also be further expanded.
