Introducing a case study of UPS backing up factory equipment that requires "heating and cooling"

In factories, we sometimes handle products at extremely high temperatures during processes such as firing and melting.
In such factories, if power problems such as blackouts or momentary drops occur and the production equipment stops operating normally, not only will the products have to be disposed of, but there is also a risk that the production equipment itself may break down or, in the worst case scenario, lead to secondary disasters such as a factory fire. This article introduces a case where a UPS was used to deal with power problems in the heat-generating parts of production equipment.

Topics

Case 1: Avoiding the risk of fire - Case study at a bread factory

Device

  • Exhaust systems for commercial ovens

assignment

  • In the event of a power outage, it takes 40 seconds for the generator to start up, posing a risk of fire.
  • In the event of a power outage, the power supply must continue uninterrupted and the backup must be available for at least 20 minutes until the equipment can be safely shut down.
  • If the UPS and generator are installed separately, the combined system operation is not guaranteed.

Solution

  • In the event of a power outage, the combination of the UPS "SANUPS E23A" and the generator "SANUPS G53A" enables uninterrupted, long-term backup.
  • UPS and generators are supplied by a single company, and all combinations of systems in the lineup have been confirmed to work properly, so you can rest assured.
  • In addition to UPS and generators, we also provide comprehensive maintenance and support through our maintenance services.

Case 2: Avoiding the risk of fire - Case study at a material factory

Device

  • Melting furnace ventilation system

assignment

  • If you select a UPS based on "inrush current", it will be over-specified.
  • The output capacity of the UPS was larger than expected, resulting in high installation and operating costs.

Solution

  • Parallel Processing allows selection based on the rated output capacity regardless of inrush current.
  • While saving power consumption, it achieves high power supply quality and a high conversion efficiency of 98%.
  • The UPS output capacity is halved. This reduces installation and operating costs.

Case 3: Avoiding the risk of harmful gas generation Case study at a waste incineration plant

Device

  • Control unit for waste incineration plant

assignment

  • We want to prevent the risk of hazardous gases being released into the atmosphere and incineration equipment going out of control during a power outage and shut it down safely.
  • It is designed as a three-phase UPS, which is large and has high installation and operating costs.

Solution

  • The redundant configuration makes the system more reliable than before.
  • By placing an inverted V transformer on the primary side of the UPS and enabling backup with a single-phase UPS, it is possible to reduce size and costs.

Case 4: Avoiding the risk of fire and equipment damage Case at a beverage factory

Device

  • Labeller device heating process

assignment

  • You want to avoid the risk of line stoppages, fires, and equipment damage that occur when a power outage or momentary voltage drop occurs.
  • We also want to take measures against harmonic currents generated by power equipment in the factory.

Solution

  • Parallel Processing" SANUPS E23A" realizes "completely uninterrupted" power supply.
  • It has a higher conversion efficiency than the full-time Inverter method and significantly reduces power consumption.
  • It also supports irregular currents such as "inrush current" and "harmonic current."
