The IQ has been thoroughly designed and built to meet the variable demands of a dynamic work environment. Every business is unique, as is their operations and subsequent air demands. Even within plants, demand for air can fluctuate over hours, days, weeks and months. With this in mind, Gardner Denver designed multiple package sizes that cover an extensive air (or vacuum) map. Packages can be combined in any way to meet your specific requirements. Individual package sizes range from 7.5hp to 100hp, individual package air flow can go up to 1400 ICFM (vacuum applications go up to 15 Hg”).
All Gardner Denver IQ packages are fitted with an Air Smart controller that amongst another things, allow machines to be turned on and off as air requirements peak and trough throughout the day. In addition to this, the controller can rotate the designated lead machine, equalizing the overall workload and subsequently improving both performance and reliability.
In addition to sequencing machines, the Air Smart controller can also operate our variable speed drives, turning each blower up or down to precisely match air requirements. Even when not feeding air into your system, fixed speed blowers can continue to consume up to 90% of the energy used when running at full capacity. All of this means increased utilities for no real production gains. Variable speed drives combined with Air Smart controllers ensure that air is only ever being produced at the levels you require thus increasing productivity while reducing costs. From a capital investment standpoint, these efficiency gains can mean paybacks in one year or less depending on use. |
