GK820 VFD Applied in Magnetic Levitation Blowers
Magnetic levitation blowers represent a groundbreaking innovation in modern industrial applications. With their unique operating mechanism and remarkable performance advantages, they are increasingly adopted in industries like energy, environmental protection, metallurgy, and chemical engineering.
Key components of a magnetic levitation blower system include
Magnetic Levitation Bearing System
The core technology lies in the magnetic levitation bearing system, which uses electromagnetic forces to suspend the rotor in mid-air, enabling contactless and frictionless rotation.
Drive System
High-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are typically employed as the drive system. These motors, powered by variable frequency drives (VFDs), generate an adjustable-frequency alternating current which creates a rotating magnetic field in the stator, driving the shaft at high speeds.
Control System
Advanced microprocessors and sensor technology allow real-time monitoring and control of the blower’s operating state, ensuring precision and reliability.
Intelligent Monitoring
Smart control systems collect and process operational data in real time while adjusting control strategies based on process requirements, enabling intelligent start-stop and variable-frequency speed regulation
Control Scheme for Magnetic Levitation Blowers
Magnetic Suspension Control
The magnetic levitation controller activates the bearing system, suspending the motor’s rotor.
Operational Command Execution
The HMI sends operational commands to a PLC. The PLC then relays these commands to the VFD/AC Drive, starting and regulating the motor operation.
System Configuration
