Use of Asynchronous Motors in Industry
Today, asynchronous motors have found wide application in many industries. Frequency converters and soft start devices are often used for their adjustment. The converters consist of bridges that transform alternating current into direct current, and inverters convert it back into alternating current of the required frequency and amplitude.
Application of Frequency Converters
In oil and gas and petrochemical enterprises, devices that exceed operational funds and require replacement are often used. The implementation of frequency converters in the automation field provides excellent opportunities for energy savings.
The air cooling devices in the oil and gas industry aim to accumulate and cool liquids, gases, and vapors. The installation of such devices enhances the safety of the regulation system and reduces electricity costs.
Energy Savings Through Frequency Converters
Frequency converters are also used for pump control. Their application is determined by the possibility of energy savings and convenient regulation, which positively affects the durability of fittings and pipelines.
Moreover, frequency converters are used in cooling towers. Fan cooling towers are designs for water cooling in circular hydraulic systems. The use of cold water in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries is related to the accumulation of waste vapors and cooling of liquid and gaseous products of chemical production.
Application in Industrial Conditions
In several characteristic industries, attention is drawn to fans, pumps, and equipment with a constant torque. These drives are suitable for cases that require ease of operation and installation.
Industrial frequency converters are designed to work with high power motors and significant loads. They are characterized by a wide range of functions and adaptation to applications in various production sectors, particularly in the oil and gas industry.
Manufacturing Electric Drives for Oil and Gas Companies
A large number of electric drives with a capacity of up to 200 kW have been produced for many oil and gas companies in Russia. Such equipment is used at pumping stations to control submersible pumps that pump oil. The issue of ultrasonic control of oil levels in wells without the use of sensors has also been resolved.
Additionally, a significant number of devices are used on drilling rigs. Multi-motor electric drives of key mechanisms are implemented there, regulated by several asynchronous motors on various pumps, the rotor, and the winch.
