Standard Electric and ABB are offering the new software option for the ACS580 drives. This software expands the usefulness of the ACS580 drives for pump and refrigeration compressor control for the food & beverage industry. This will dramatically increase efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Cavitation is a problem for many industries because it causes damage to the pump over time. It is especially a problem in the food and beverage industry where it causes inconsistent quality and/or adds particulates to the product as minute pieces break away from the surface of the pump impeller. ABB’s patented algorithm detects cavitation as it occurs without the need for external sensors and adjusts the flow until cavitation is no longer detected.
Cavitation Control Benefits:
- Detects cavitation & adjusts speed to prevent damage
- Cost effective; no external sensors required
- Increases quality & food safety of product
- Increases productivity; no need to stop production for repairs
- Increase life of pump
The refrigeration compressor control feature of ABB ACS580 adds temperature control, short cycle protection, and multi-compressor control to the drive. It provides the ability to control the refrigeration process in addition to controlling the motor. This reduces the amount of equipment by using the intelligence of the drive to control both the motor and the refrigeration system.
Refrigeration Control Benefits:
- Easy and reliable way to keep temperature stable
- Works with NH3 (ammonia) and CO2 (carbon oxide) coolants
- Short-cycling protection increases life of compressor
- Multi-compressor control & auto-change features that allow use on systems with up to 6 compressors & increases maintenance intervals
ABB ACS580 drives include all the essential components for typical industrial applications, with a scalable offering from 0.75 kW to 500 kW. The drive is ready to control compressors, conveyors, mixers, pumps, and fans, as well as many other variable and constant torque applications.
