    VFD sizing for a 25 HZ 150 HP motor

    I have a 150 Hp 25 hz motor I would like to install a vfd on it to eliminate the MG set. My concern overheating/ overcurrent in the windings. Is it really an issue? will the speed setting to actual motor speed be say double if i set it up as a 50 Hz motor?? thanks in advance,Joe

    "OPC"kepware & yokogawa UP750

    It is serial comms and, I did get it talking and it looks to me I will be able to select the pattern by writing to the buffer location. The Kepware works really well, auto tags and all. I do realize i will need to build a GUI. Currently they are using another data Aq package that will talk to...

    "OPC"kepware & yokogawa UP750

    water flow rates in old radiators

    THe rads are from a hot water system. It looks like they were running with about 14 gals/mi. That is the flow rate of the grundfoss 15-42 pump that was on the old system. I guess that would be a good starting point. Taco makes a 3 speed pump I might go with to give me some flexablity. Joe

    water flow rates in old radiators

    Thanks everyone for your input. Does anyone make a preheater for incoming air?? I expect you are talking of the intake air piping. I could get a fin tube and run it inside the intake air pipe.Would this be good?? I would be happier to buy one from a supplier that has been making them for years...

    water flow rates in old radiators

    I am going to replace a 40 yr old boiler with a new mod-con boiler. I will be heating with old cast iron radiators. I am going to zone the first and second floors and have a primary zone for the indirect water heater. I am going to have pumps for each zone. I am just not sure of the flow rates...

    Natural Gas Flow

    I think there are positive displacement units out there that could that flow and pressure with very good accuracy. I would suggest getting a pulser output send it to a recorder and do the math in the recorder. This is not cheap but i have done it before and have had good results. Joe
