Description
The operational economy of most plants
is determined by the efficiency of its
component devices and equipment, and
is reduced considerably with sub-optimum
load conditions. Therefore, it is advisable
not to supply the required energy
via a single large device, but to distribute
it over several smaller units. Only the variations
in actual demand are lined out by
means of an individually controlled device.
Depending on the situation, it might
even be possible to do without this device,
if the tolerance band of the controlled
process (pressure, flow, etc.), is
sufficiently wide.
By means of a suitable sequence controller,
the smaller units are switched on
and off in a defined order, as required by
the energy demand. This ensures that
each device contributes to the total energy
input with optimum efficiency.
The advantages of reduced operating
costs are obvious:
- Optimum operating efficiency (low
energy losses)
- High availability
- Selective switching of individual
devices, e.g. for maintenance and
repair, without interrupting plant
operation
- Cyclical operation ensures uniform
operating time and wear of the
devices
