Variable Speed Drive controls 2-4 pump systems.
Press Release Summary:
Microprocessor-based Model PS 200 is programmed specifically for any centrifugal pump up to 700 hp. Accurate control of any process parameter is obtained by continous monitoring and reaction to pump conditions and system demands. Pump output is matched to exact flow and head required by process. Model PS 200 protects pump from upset conditions including dry running, low suction, cavitation, dead heading, and excessive run out.
Original Press Release:
New PumpStart® Model PS 200 Couples Greater Reliability and Control with Energy Savings
Seneca Falls, New York, USA -PumpSmart Control Solutions, a division of ITT Industries, has introduced another major addition to its award-winning PumpSmart product line. The new Model PS 200 is a microprocessor based, variable speed drive, programmed specifically for any centrifugal pump up to 700 HP.
The PS 200 is designed for both simplicity and functionality, making it ideal for a wide range of applications where previously process controllers were too costly and complex.
Energy savings up to 70% are obtained because at lower demands, the PS 200 reduces the motor speed eliminating the extra energy that's used to overcome the pressure drop of control valves.
Accurate control of virtually any process parameter is obtained by the continuous monitoring (which can be remote) and reaction to both pump conditions and system demands. Pump output is matched to the exact flow and head required by the process.
The PS 200 enables the control of 2 to 4 pump systems without the need for separate PLCs and custom programming.
Pump reliability is optimized because the PS 200 protects the pump from upset conditions including dry running, low suction, cavitation, dead heading and excessive run out. These conditions are the cause of most pump and mechanical seal failures.
