Variable-speed pressure Systems Perth from Kelair Pumps
Variable-speed pressure systems perfect in Perth
Sales Engineer Michael Charnley (WA)
Kelair's Perth office was approached by
a consulting engineer to assist in designing
a cooling and lubricating system for a
glass cutting business.
The plant machinery would require a
clean water system and a recycled water
system. Each system had to be able to
supply between one to seven machines
with water while maintaining a constant
pressure without fluctuation of more
than +/-5% of the set pressure
(450kPa).
The design included water supply for
future expansion of the business and the
pumps had to be sized to supply up to
twelve machines.
After use in the machine the water is to
be collected in a sump so a pump would
be required to transfer the glass-laden
water to a recycling plant for re-use.
For the recycled water a Kelair Triplex
variable-speed pressure system was selected.
The system consists of three vertical
multistage pumps each fitted with a
Hydrovar speed controller and pressure
transducer. The three Hydrovars are interconnected
to provide smooth operation
across a wide flow range.
The pumps are supplied mounted on to a
single base with stainless steel inlet and
outlet manifolds, valves and a control
panel.
For the clean water a similar Kelair dual
variable-speed pressure system was selected
and set up in a similar fashion.
The Kelair Hydrovar speed controllers are
very easy to adjust in the field. They do
not require specialised equipment to
change speed flow or pressure so this
means the client can gradually grow the
plant without expensive commissioning
visits. The Hydrovars are also lockable to
prevent unauthorised adjustments.
