Better Motor Alternatives for Variable Speed Pumps
What kind of motors do you use for pumps? If you're dealing with variable-speed pump applications, you're probably familiar with 3-phase AC induction motors paired with variable frequency drives (VFDs). However, there’s another type of motor out there that can deliver more consistent fluid transfer and save space.
Let’s consider two common challenges faced in pump applications:
First, maintaining consistent speed is crucial for many pumping tasks, especially those involving fluid control. Ideally, you’d want to control the rate of fluid movement in a way that ensures predictable results.
VFDs regulate the motor speed by adjusting the frequency of the supplied voltage. The most commonly used control method in simpler applications like pumps and fans is the open-loop scalar volts-per-Hertz (V/f) method, which offers a speed regulation of around ±2~3%. For more precise control, you could add encoders or use vector control, but both options come with additional costs and technical complexity.
However, even with encoders or vector control, motor response isn't guaranteed due to the lack of physical feedback. Variations in load, such as changes in fluid type or viscosity, can cause the motor to slow down, leading to inconsistencies in the amount of fluid transferred.
Now, let’s look at an alternative solution.
Brushless motors equipped with built-in hall-effect sensors and their dedicated drivers offer a cost-effective option compared to VFDs. These systems can maintain a speed regulation of up to ±0.2%, which is far superior to the ±2~3% regulation of standard VFD setups. Moreover, even in the face of load fluctuations, voltage changes, or temperature variations, the speed regulation remains consistent.
For instance, Oriental Motor's BMU Series brushless motor systems boast a maximum speed regulation of ±0.2%. This performance rivals that of the BX II Series brushless motors with encoder feedback, which offer a regulation of ±0.05% at rated speeds.
In addition to improved speed regulation, brushless motors often provide a broader effective speed range compared to VFD-driven AC motors. Standard brushless motors typically operate within a range of 80~4,000 RPM (a 50:1 speed ratio), whereas VFD-driven AC motors usually cover a range of 90~3,600 RPM (a 40:1 speed ratio). Brushless motors also deliver constant torque output across the entire speed range, allowing for dynamic acceleration and deceleration.
Next, let’s talk about energy efficiency. For applications where weight and energy consumption aren’t major concerns, using AC motors with VFDs might suffice. But brushless motors are significantly more energy-efficient than AC motors. They consume approximately 27% less power because the permanent magnets in the rotor eliminate secondary losses from the rotor, reducing power consumption dramatically.
Brushless motors are also more compact and lightweight. For example, comparing a 200W (1/4 HP) brushless motor with a similar AC motor, the brushless motor is 83mm shorter and weighs 3.2kg less.
The advantages don’t stop there. With higher efficiency, brushless motors require no built-in cooling fans, making them more compact and reducing power consumption further. Additionally, the absence of a fan helps prevent dust dispersion and contamination of sensitive materials like food, cosmetics, or resin.
