Integrated Drive System

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Siemens is now offering an environmentally friendly Integrated Drive System for open circuits comprising Simotics FD motors and water-cooled Sinamics S120 converters. Using an integrated cooling concept, the new system turns available service water into cooling water for the drive system, enabling a joint open cooling circuit for the plant, motor and converter. The joint cooling circuit allows the recooling module for the converter to be dispensed with, significantly reducing the amount of space required and providing improved economic and energy efficiency. Flexible drive trains can be created to address complex applications in fields such as the steel, automotive and process industries, as well as for offshore and shipping applications. Water cooling is a highly effective method of dissipating heat generated by the motor and converter, and is particularly vital in the process industry. With its water-cooled drive system, Siemens is providing an efficient overall concept which makes minimal demands on the quality of the water.
