DEKKER VmaxVFD medical vacuum systems offer hospitals and surgery centers the most reliable and energy-efficient systems available today.DEKKER's advanced design combines the proven benefits of our Vmax oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum pumps with variable frequency drive (VFD) motor speed control.

The VmaxVFD medical vacuum systems are micro-processor controlled and offer substantial energy savings by automatically adjusting pump speed to match varying vacuum demand.This eliminates frequent stop-starts and results in more stable vacuum levels.

Shown here as a triplex system, the VmaxVFD system is expandable from 2 to 4 pumps adjusting to increased demand or expansion.The VmaxVFD system is flexible, allowing individual pumps to be in various locations throughout the plant.


The VFD main control panel provides a single location for system control and aggregating alarm outputs for remote monitoring. Wall-mounted, the main panel needs only low voltage wiring to the individual pump controls.
 

Design Features

·DEKKER Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps have only one moving part—resulting in cooler and quieter operation, high reliability, increased up-time, and lower maintenance costs

·VFD motor control lowers energy costs by adjusting speed to match varying vacuum demand

·VFD "soft start" ramps motor speed gradually to extend system life and lower maintenance needs

·New approach to energy-efficient vacuum systems allows simple cost-effective expansion for customers who anticipate future building plans or increased demand

·Proprietary intelligent logic control monitors pumps and adjusts sequencing as availability or demand changes

·System consists of two, three, or four simplex liquid ring vacuum systems

·Each pump has individual variable-frequency drive (VFD)-equippedcontrol panels

·Main control panel is separate and includes logic controller (PLC) and proprietary process controller (PID)

·Alternation program based on actual run time hours assures balanced usage on pumps

·Simple keypad control of vacuum set point and pump on/offthresholds

·Long life LED panel lamps for higher reliability and reduced bulb replacement

·Meets or exceeds NFPA 99 standard for health care facilities
