Single-Pump VFD Unit

Product Overview

The VFD Constant Pressure Water Supply Unit integrates PID control, VFD soft-start, and diaphragm pressure tank for ±0.01 MPa precision constant-pressure delivery at -15℃ to +120℃ with 1.6/2.5 MPa rating.

It solves excessive footprint, high civil costs, pressure fluctuation/water hammer, and secondary contamination in conventional secondary water supply systems dependent on elevated tanks or large reservoirs.

It is suitable for high-rise/villa domestic water, commercial building boosting, industrial cooling circulation, and agricultural irrigation requiring tankless design, fully automatic unattended operation, and low-maintenance performance.

Extended Service Life: SUS304/316L stainless steel wetted parts + silicon carbide dual mechanical seals resist wear, corrosion & cavitation. Design lifespan ≥15 years—over 40% longer than traditional cast-iron pump + tank solutions.

Significant Energy Savings: PID closed-loop on-demand frequency regulation + VFD soft-start eliminates startup/shutdown impact. Comprehensive energy savings 20%–50% at rated duty. Combined with intelligent sleep strategy, annual electricity costs drop by 30%–60%.

Lower Maintenance Costs: Integrated standard base + quick-connect interface layout enables routine inspection without disconnecting main pipes. Single technician completes pressure tank check/sensor calibration within 1 hour, reducing O&M costs by 45%.

Lightweight & Compact Design: Eliminates underground reservoirs & independent pump houses. Pump + control cabinet + pressure tank highly integrated. Footprint reduced by 60%+ for equivalent supply ratings, significantly lowering infrastructure investment & room space occupancy.

Faster Installation: Pre-assembled coupling base + factory pre-wired. Positioning → pipe connection → parameter setting within 2 hours. Deployment cycle compressed by 50%, plug & play ready.

Application Scenarios

Building Domestic Water: Zone water supply for high-rise residences/villas/hotels, eliminating pressure fluctuation, ensuring terminal experience, supporting multi-pump rotation & night quiet sleep mode.

Installation Guidelines

Installation Key Points:

1.Mount unit horizontally on solid foundation. Level using adjustable vibration pads (flatness ≤2 mm/m). Never use rigid grouting to avoid vibration transmission.

2.Connect inlet/outlet with flexible rubber joints or stainless steel bellows. Provide independent pipe supports. Never transfer pipe weight/thermal stress to unit interfaces.

3.Keep control cabinet back wall ≥150 mm from wall for heat dissipation. Separate power & signal cables in trays. Pre-charge pressure tank to 70%–80% of target system pressure.

4.Open vent valve to exhaust air. Jog test pump rotation (confirm no abnormal friction). Set VFD start/stop pressure thresholds & sleep delay parameters.

Commissioning Process: Electrical wiring verification → Pressure/parameter setting → Single pump jog rotation → Constant-pressure linkage test (simulate peak/off-peak) → Record frequency/pressure/current/temp data → Acceptance sign-off.

FAQs

Q1: How does PID closed-loop control achieve constant-pressure fluctuation ≤±0.01 MPa?

Uses 0.1-class high-precision pressure transmitter (sampling ≤100ms) + PLC digital PID algorithm + VFD vector frequency regulation, combined with pressure tank elastic buffering for millisecond-response closed loop. Tested fluctuation ≤±0.01 MPa.

Q2: How does VFD soft-start prevent water hammer & extend pipe life?

VFD controls smooth motor acceleration (0→50Hz in 3–10s), eliminating hydraulic shock from direct line-frequency start. Frequency ramps down during stop. Combined with check valve & pressure tank relief, pressure change rate ≤0.05 MPa/s, completely eliminating water hammer.

Q3: How do dry-run/phase-loss/overheat protections trigger auto-shutdown?

Control cabinet integrates water shortage sensor (inlet pressure <0.05 MPa triggers), phase sequence monitor, & PTC thermistor. Fault signals processed by PLC cut output within 1 second & trigger audio-visual alarm, preventing motor burnout.

Q4: How do stainless steel wetted parts prevent secondary contamination from the source?

Fully welded SUS304/316L passages with no dead zones, electropolished inner walls (Ra ≤0.8 μm). Eliminates open tanks. Water circulates entirely sealed, completely isolating air contact & algae/bacteria growth, complying with food-grade hygiene certification.

Q5: What customizations are needed for high-temperature variant (>80℃)?

Standard suits -15℃ to +80℃. For >80℃: ① FKM/PTFE high-temp seals; ② Pump body insulation jacket & independent forced motor cooling; ③ VFD derating & dedicated control cabinet cooling air duct design.
