The VLT® AQUA Drive is designed to provide the highest level of performance of AC-motor-driven water and wastewater applications. Featuring a wide range of powerful standard features, which can be expanded with performance-improving options, the drive is equally suited to both new and retrofit projects.
The considerable daily load variation in water or wastewater treatment plants makes it economically feasible to introduce motor control on rotating equipment such as pumps and blowers. VLT AQUA Drive can offer first-year cost savings of 10 - 30% compared to traditional variable frequency drive solutions. Its high lifetime availability and low energy consumption and maintenance costs provide you with the lowest cost of ownership.
The quick and user-friendly setup of water and pump settings reduces installation time ensuring a fast route to maximum energy efficiency and motor control. By collecting the most important parameters in one place, the risk of incorrect configuration is reduced significantly. The digital tools in MyDrive Suite complement the drive and equip you every step of the way from selection and system design through to commissioning and service.
Protect your assets well with specially designed software which prevents damage by water hammering and more
Maximize energy efficiency thanks to control algorithms and design which focus on reducing heat loss
Save energy on air conditioning with the unique back-channel-cooling concept that transfers 90% of heat away from the room
Reduce electromagnetic interference and harmonic distortion thanks to the built-in, scalable RFI filter and integrated DC link chokes
Integrate perfectly into your system and adapt precisely to the application using freely programmable warnings and alerts
Win 3–8% more energy savings as a result of Automatic Energy Optimization
Use condition-based monitoring to optimize uptime in your pumping applications
Our VLT® AQUA Drive is updated with the latest patented edge computing technology. Supporting high uptime for your facility and saving on operating costs, by supervising your motor and pumps. With the edge computing solution, data is collected several times per second, ensuring that any measurements outside the normal range trigger a warning, thus minimizing the risk of undetected abnormalities.
