A hospital’s water supply is optimised with VFD technology

. Requiring a constant and reliable water supply to medical wards, a Middle East hospital is utilising Invertek Drives Optidrive Eco variable frequency drives (VFD) with Optiflow technology as a solution.

Rambam Academic Hospital has a range of operating theatres and medical facilities providing emergency and medical care to patients over a number of floors in northern Israel. The hosptial had two water pumps in use which also supplied an emergency water tank for when the mains water supply stopped or was interrupted by power failure.

Energy savings
Solcon Industries Ltd, Invertek’s sales partner in the country, installed an additional two water pumps controlled by four Optidrive Eco VFDs to control and manage the supply, creating energy savings at the same time.

“By introducing two additional pumps controlled by Optidrive Ecos, we were able to introduce better management of the supply. The drives Optiflow technology provides flexible pump control. So, when demand is low it reduces the number of pumps required but always ensures a consistent flow,” said Avi Even of Solcon.

“The individual pumps don’t have to be working at full capacity all the time, thus reducing the energy costs, water usage and wear and tear on them, which in turn cuts maintenance costs and downtime.”
