Mechanical Pressure (+Ve) Booster Pump Operation By Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

The mechanical booster pump RPM is varied w.r.t. the suction pressure from 1000-3000RPM by VFD.This is done through vacuum transmitter o/p signal to variable frequency drive w.r.t suction pressure. The frequency drive operation is programmed as below.

Pressure transmitter O/P current is proportional to the Inlet pressure Mechanical Booster Pump RPM setting wrt O/p Current of Pressure Transmitter

Features Of Operation Of Mechanical Booster Pump By Variable Frequency Drive

  • Very fast evacuation from sub atmospheric pressure by Mechanical Booster Pump is possible as the pump rotational speed is controlled by Electronic sensors having fastest response time.
  • Mechanical Booster pump can be safe and easily operated at a maximum speed of 2900 RPM , thus pump can be operated at full efficiency as the pump efficiency in terms of suction flow rate and compressibility is highest at high pump RPM. Thus small (reduction in) size of mechanical booster pump.
  • Fine control of Pumping capacity to maintain the required pressure & flow in the system under evacuation to prevent carryover of vapours in to the pump or unnecessary overloading of the pump, thus eliminating the need of PID control in distillation unit and energy saving is achieved for required flow & pressure operation of the pumping unit.
  • Complete Fail safe and very easy single push button vacuum pumping unit operation. Compact in size and light weight.
