THE CLIENT
Production department of a company with liquids, conductive waste and hydraulic systems.
THE NEED
Installation of an automatic power factor correction system in a difficult industrial environment characterised by dust, liquids and harsh conditions.
OUR SOLUTION
In many industrial sectors, the presence of conductive dust, oils, emulsions or waste can compromise the reliability of electrical systems, causing production downtime, anomalies and unexpected costs. Harsh environments require power factor correction solutions designed to withstand these critical issues: not only to maintain power quality, but also to protect the safety and efficiency of business processes.
The power factor correction system supplied by Ortea Next is the Multimatic HP20 400V 300kvar 50Hz IP55, designed for indoor installation in particularly dirty or harsh environments, such as electrical cabinets in dusty areas or production departments with liquids, conductive waste or hydraulic systems.
The special feature of this equipment is not only its IP55 protection rating, which protects the interior of the panel from dust and water jets, but above all the technical choice of using an air/air heat exchanger instead of traditional fans. Unlike fans, which, even if IP55 certified, introduce outside air into the panel, risking contamination of the internal components, the air/air exchanger keeps the internal environment isolated, cooling it without compromising its cleanliness. This solution is ideal in departments where conductive residues are produced (such as an aluminium wire drawing plant) or where fluids are used for the operation of machinery.
It is a design choice that enhances the long-term reliability of the system, reduces the need for maintenance and ensures the correct functioning of power factor correction even in challenging environmental conditions. ambientali sfidanti.
