Implementación de un compresor de aire de velocidad variable mediante un variador de frecuencia Parker en un compresor de velocidad fija para empresas industriales de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present titration work proposes an effective solution for the high energy consumption that the industrial companies of the city of Guayaquil have when generating compressed air for their processes. By the following implementation of a variable speed compressed air screw compressor using a Parker brand variable frequency drive in a fixed speed screw air compressor. With this implementation, the speed of the fixed speed screw compressor motor will vary depending on the pressure and consumption of compressed air for the process or companies. In this way an energy consumption is achieved according to the demand for compressed air in order to save electricity. The subject was selected because the Engineering in Electronics and Automation course allows to realize a complete automated system starting from a program with a PID controller to automate the compressed air compressors. A saving of 35% of the electrical energy consumed by the same equipment was achieved prior to the implementation of the speed variation system.
