Smart drive with integrated condition monitoring for water and wastewater systems
Danfoss drives have evolved beyond simply turning shafts. Our latest generation integrates advanced sensor technology and onboard computing power, transforming the drive into an intelligent device for the wastewater and water community. This intelligence empowers operators to proactively reduce breakdowns, minimize downtime, and achieve new levels of cybersecurity and efficiency in water and wastewater systems.
Proactive and preventive: Condition monitoring in water and wastewater applications
In water and wastewater systems, implementing a condition monitoring system brings numerous benefits by preventing problems before they occur, resulting in less money spent, fewer breakdowns, cybersecurity, and optimized overall performance.
Utilize data to optimize water operations in the community
The use of data, including machine learning, provides a range of benefits along with improving network performance. It ensures real-time supervision, predictive maintenance, and optimization of systems - all helping to monitor and reduce risk in water and wastewater facilities.
Condition monitoring for more reliability, fewer blockages, and leak detection
The VSD establishes a baseline for power consumption and vibration based on the pump speed over a defined period of operation. Once the baseline is set, the VSD can identify anomalies with reporting in real-time.
In addition to monitoring power consumption patterns, the VSD also monitors motor windings. This comprehensive condition monitoring feature helps optimize water systems, leading to leak reduction, cost savings, and reduced water and energy consumption.
Digitization reduces energy and maps water usage patterns
As well as condition monitoring and reporting, the VSD offers other digital functions that enhance operational efficiency, reduce water usage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, this device includes a standard integrated deragging function that prevents pump clogging.
A digital strategy for wastewater and drinking water usage
A digital strategy for decarbonization has shown promising results in the wastewater industry, driving ambitions to reduce CO2/GHG emissions. Control with intelligent VSD technology is a critical element.
