Global AC drive manufacturer Vacon® has announced its new VACON 100 FLOW, an AC drive specially optimised for pump and fan applications. The new AC drive offers versatile flow control for water and wastewater and building automation applications, further strengthening the wide range of the VACON 100 product family. VACON 100 FLOW is the newest member of the third-generation VACON 100 product family. Other products in the family include:

• VACON 100 multipurpose AC drive
• VACON 100 X decentralised IP66/UL Type 4X-enclosed AC drive

Combining the core design of VACON 100 with dedicated functions that can benefit flow control processes, the new AC drive also improves the efficiency and redundancy of pump systems, offering advanced features such as Multimaster and Multifollower for controlling multiple pumps simultaneously.

“Pumps, compressors and fans – these applications benefit massively from improvements in energy efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs. In this respect, we think that VACON 100 FLOW offers much more than any other AC drive on the market today,” says Heikki Hiltunen, Executive Vice President, Market Operations.

VACON 100 FLOW is available in the power range of 0.55 kW to 160 kW and in a voltage range of 230 V to 500 V.
