SET presented at 13th European Fluid Machinery congress

At 13th European Fluid Machinery congress Mr. Maximilian Hehenberger, the head of Business Development & Sales of SET GmbH, has presented his article with the title “Increased Efficiency and Reliability through an Electro-Mechanical Differential System Providing Variable Speed to Pumps and Compressors”.

Content: The objective of this article is to assess an electro-mechanical differential system (EMDS) system providing variable speed to a driven machine (e.g. compressor, blower, pump, etc.) in terms of applicability and energy Efficiency.

At the beginning of 2015 the European Union released a new standard, the EN 50598 series, leading to increased demand for variable speed drives. Beyond other drive train technologies, the EMDS is one possible solution for meeting the standard’s requirements. In this connection, efficiency and the resulting life cycle costs are essential to ensure compliance. The assessment of the EMDS reveals that this drive train technology is a compatible solution to meet future challenges…to read the whole article click [here].

Performance tests at Sulzer (Deutschland) Pumpen GmbH in Bruchsal, Germany

November 18-20, 2015 saw further performance tests being conducted on the 4.1 MW SETCON® at Sulzer (Deutschland) Pumpen GmbH in Bruchsal/Germany. Similar to the tests at Elin Motoren GmbH in Weiz/Austria, the complete powertrain including boiler feed water pump was put through its paces here.

And once again the electro-mechanical differential system proved its excellent capabilities, efficiency, and reliability. All the customer’s requirements were met to PCK Raffinerie GmbH’s complete satisfaction and the professional cooperation between the companies involved was also demonstrated.

Local and international customers from the energy, industry, and oil and gas sectors also had the opportunity to gain an impression of the SETCON® benefits over these few days. All those who attended the event were impressed with its performance and agreed that the SETCON® is an ideal solution for efficient and reliable control.

4.1MW SETCON® Performance Tests at Elin Motoren GmbH

In the end of August the performance tests of the 4.1MW SETCON® for a boiler feed pump at the PCK refinery in Schwedt (Germany) were executed at ELIN Motoren GmbH in Weiz (Austria).

Due to the excellent cooperation with Sulzer Pumpen (Deutschland) GmbH and the intensive preparations of SET GmbH the SETCON® has shown an excellent performance and we could endorse in an impressive way our maxim “first time right”. All tests were performed without any failure and complete satisfaction of customers and suppliers. The evaluated test results have shown our customer, that the SETCON® is more than just a promise regarding reliability and efficiency. Because of the excellent performance further projects are planned together with Sulzer Pumpen (Deutschland) GmbH.

DSgear-set® for a 4.1MW boiler-feed pump at PCK site in Schwedt (Germany)

SET’s electro-mechanical differential gear points the way ahead for the entire wind sector. In the interim this technology is also meeting with great interest in industry.

In the 4th quarter of 2014 Sulzer Pumps GmbH awarded SET GmbH a contract to install its electro-mechanical differential gear system (DSgear-set®) at the PCK refinery in Schwedt (Germany). By the 2nd quarter of 2015 the DSgear-set® will replace the existing direct drive system in order to meet future challenges in terms of sustainability and life cycle costs (LCC). SET’s electro-mechanical differential gear emerged as the best technology ahead of the competition in view of its speed variability range, efficiency, and robustness.

The DSgear-set® has to provide a rated power of 4,080 kW for a boiler feed-water pump, which is essential for the refinery processes at the site. In this flagship project the operating companies expect the DSgear-set® to ensure high cost savings, maximum reliability and Efficiency.Due to the excellent cooperation between the companies involved, follow-up projects are planned.
