VSD for AC

Address: Trang Bang Industrial Park, Tay Ninh Province
Project Summary: A textile and dyeing enterprise in Tay Ninh Province has installed a variable speed drive (VSD) for the SG90A-90kW screw air compressor. The project aims at reducing the power consumption of the air compressor.
Year of implementation: 2020

Status before implementation

The company was using 1 SG90A (90 kW) screw air compressor to supply compressed air for production activities. The set pressure was (5.8 - 7.2 bar).

Load graph of MNK SG90A

The load graph showed the compressor operation in Load-Unload mode. The average operating capacity was approx. 67.2kW. Reducing the time of operation in Unload mode will help save energy consumption of the air compressor.

Result

Yaskawa's GA700 90kW VSD has been installed for SG90A screw air compressors. During the assessment period, the average operating capacity was around 57.9kW.
