The constant pressure water supply system utilizes Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to control the operating frequency of water pumps, ensuring a stable water pressure supply. Below is a detailed introduction to the practical application of the constant pressure water supply system based on the KD600 series inverters:
System Features
PID Function:The constant pressure water supply system requires the use of PID control to ensure system stability and precise pressure control.
Pressure Sensor: A pressure sensor must be installed in the system to monitor the water pressure in real-time and send feedback signals to the inverter for adjustment.
Energy Efficiency Calculation
In a constant pressure water supply system, the improvement in energy efficiency mainly depends on the operating frequency of the inverter. For example, when the operating frequency is H1, the energy-saving effect can be calculated using the following formula:
Energy Saving = 1 - (H1/50)^3
Inverter Requirements
Soft Start for Motor: The soft start function of the inverter can reduce surge current during startup, protecting the motor and the system.
Stable PID Control: The inverter should provide stable PID control to ensure constant water pressure.
Precautions
Selecting the Appropriate Pressure Sensor: Ensure that the pressure sensor's range is suitable for the system's requirements. For example, if the pressure sensor's measurement range is 16 bar (1.6 MPa) and the target pressure is 5 bar (0.5 MPa), the calculation for P6-04 is as follows:
P6-04 = (5/16) * 100% = 31.3%
Parameter Setting Steps
Set P0-04 to 1: Control start and stop via terminal.
Set P0-06 to 6: Set value according to the specific need.
Set PA-01: Set PID given value as needed.
Set PA-03 to 0: PID feedback value is set by analog input AI1.
Set B6-00 to 2: Select hibernate mode.
Set B6-01: Set sleep frequency as needed.
Set B6-03: Set wake-up difference as needed.
