Danfoss to take part in SMM 2012
MARITIME INDUSTRY: At SMM 2012, which takes in Hamburg in September, Danfoss will be exhibiting its marine portfolio, including their frequency converter-family that holds eight marine approvals.
The more compact D-frame construction design of the VLT Frequency converter is available in the 90 to 250 KW output range. The converters are available in protection classes up to IP 66, making the products ideal for the refurbishment of older vessels.
Danfoss VLT® frequency converters for marine applications possibly hold the highest number of class certificates on the market today, and are certified by a total of eight authorities within the maritime and off-shore area, including DNV RINA, Lloyds, CCI and others.
The certificates contain information about products and manufacturers found to comply with international standards, regulations and the class rules.
Depending on the output range, the new compact frame size can be up to 68 percent smaller than the former frames. Additional options are available for these devices on the power input side, from fuses and load circuit breakers to electric contactors.
These devices save a large amount of cabinet space. The greatest savings are achieved by the 250 KW VLT® frequency converters. They require only 0.14 m³ compared to the 0.450 m³ formerly needed. Danfoss converters remain among the smallest products in their performance classes and are available in a wide power range designed for all applications, marine and other.
The VLT frequency converters have a vast number of functions developed to meet the diverse needs of all kinds of applications: It is the perfect match for pumps, fans and compressors e.g. in vessels that are fitted with increasingly sophisticated solutions. The power range goes from 1.1 to 1400 kW with voltage ranges 200, 380 – 480/500 V, 525 – 600 V and 690 V. The product is available up to protection class IP66, depending on the version.
