Temperature Control
E-solutions are the obvious solution to a variety of challenges encountered in temperature control applications, where regulating temperature is often crucial to ensure efficient processes. In addition to peace of mind, the E-solution may provide you with significant energy savings.

Regulate speed to stabilise costs

>  Constant operation temperature E-solutions are ideal, for example in moulding tool applications where temperatures need to be constant in order to maintain the material flow and short curing times. >  Constant feed temperature E-solutions ensure a constant feeding temperature, for example for heat exchangers or in assisting chemical or biological processes. >  Constant return temperature E-solutions can help ensure that boilers and heat exchangers do not operate below recommended operating temperature.

Increase pressure as you wish

In washing and cleaning applications customised software allows the pumps RPM to be practically doubled. The increased speed, also referred to as over-synchronous operation, translates into greatly increased pressure and means you will get the high pressure you need from a significantly smaller pump. This can be achieved because the pump does not need to perform across the full pump curve. Instead, the software lets the pump operate only within the necessary band with perfect precision.

Washing & Cleaning

Run at power limit

>  Makes it possible to boost the pressure at lower flows by increasing the frequency >  Makes it possible to use the motor 100% over the full pump curve.

E-solution benefits in temperature control

> R  esistance to high temperature and humidity > Reliable, low maintenance durability > Energy-efficient system operation > Rapid response > Intelligent control

E-solution benefits in washing and cleaning

> Compact solution >  Resistance to high temperature and humidity > Reliable,low maintenance durability > Energy-efficient system operation > Rapid response > Intelligent and integrated control

>  Regulating differential temperature Set the E-solution to regulate the differential temperature across a heat exchanger, hydronic heating system or cooling tower to maintain a constant temperature for secondary regulating devices. >  Constant flow regulation E-solutions keep the flow constant to optimise the performance of the heat exchangers when attached to other regulating equipment.

Boiler Feed

Removes the need for regulating valves

Stable steam generation is vital in any boiler feed application. This requires a constant water level in the tank, which can be maintained efficiently by means of an E-solution. With a combination of sensors and customised software it is possible to maintain the water level. The pump speed is automatically adjusted to keep a constant level in the tank which in turn ensures optimum steam generation.

Industrial Booster
Compensate for unstable pump curves

Add the E to boost your entire system

E-solutions are ideal for optimisation of industrial booster systems, enabling both parallel and serial operation of speed-controlled E-pumps. By means of an add-on card integrated in the MGE terminal box the entire system can operate with no need for an external panel. Communication between the pumps is carried out via GENIbus.

E-solution benefits in boiler feed

> Steady steam production > Fast response to changes in steam consumption >  Resistance to high temperature and humidity >  Reliable 24/7 performance >  Energy-efficient system operation > Intelligent control

The unstable part of the pump curve needs to be eliminated. The control compensates for pressure drop at low flow. Regulating loop can work as expected.
