The new Oasis g2 controller and retrofit panels have been introduced as the latest design in the effort to extend the life of pumping stations by upgrading the controls of a panel while reusing the power components. The retrofit panels come with the ability to control fixed speed or variable speed stations that have up to three main pumps and a pressure maintenance pump.

 
Housed in a small NEMA 4 enclosure, the Oasis g2 retrofit panel allows for a quick installation and minimizes the amount of wiring between the existing control panel and the Oasis g2 panel. All of the field connections in the Oasis g2 are wired to easily identifiable terminal blocks, from the contactor signals to the flowmeter signal, or any safety devices that are used for controlling the station. Selector switches are provided for each individual pump, along with a bypass mode to allow running the pumps in manual. Finally, the panel is controlled by the Oasis g2 controller, with a larger interface than its predecessor, simple pushbutton interface, and 4 line OLED display.

 
Functionally, the Oasis g2 has multiple features that allow for customization of the pumping station. There are up to seven pump combinations available with different starting methods (pressure, flow, and selector switch.) The retrofit panels can also control a standard wye strainer, and comes equipped with its own pressure sensor. It can also monitor other existing field devices such as phase failure relays and water inlet safety devices.

 
The controller comes equipped with navigational pushbuttons as well as auto, off, and manual buttons. The OLED display is used in place of an expensive HMI to offer access to the functions and controls of the station. An RS232 communication port is also available for testing, configuration, and field service use.

 
The Oasis g2 panel allows for the reuse of the existing motor contactors, fuses, and disconnects, eliminating the need to purchase replacements. The contactors, which typically have a life span that is measured in the millions of cycles, will often outlast the other components in a control panel. By utilizing those existing contactors, the Oasis g2 will extend the life of a pump station without the need for replacing some of those costlier items.

 
As pumping stations age, so too does the control equipment inside of the control panels. In particular, PLC components can be difficult to replace, as manufacturers redesign their automation systems and modules become obsolete. Those outmoded parts are problematic to find and usually come with a high price tag. The Oasis g2 eliminates the need to scrounge for antiquated components by offering all of the necessary automation features in one simple controller.

Xylem unveils fifth generation HYDROVAR

Highly efficient variable speed drive reduces energy consumption

MORTON GROVE, ILL. — Xylem, a global water technology leader, has released the fifth generation HYDROVAR, an intelligent pump controller that accurately adapts to system demands, helping end users realize cost and energy savings while achieving optimum system performance. The new drive can reduce energy consumption of a pump by as much as 70 percent.

“A variable frequency drive (VFD) is an important component of a pump system that is designed to achieve the highest energy efficiencies, saving operators time and money,” said Wes Lobo, Global Business Unit Director for Industry and Agriculture at Xylem. “We’ve developed the next generation HYDROVAR to be an advanced control system with expanded capabilities, providing users in commercial/residential buildings, public utilities and general industry the most streamlined way to achieve these results.”

Capable of running systems with up to eight pumps, the new HYDROVAR has multimaster functionality, enabling each individual pump to take control if one or more units or sensors are not active. This continuous booster system operation ensures reliable water pressure across various residential, industrial and commercial applications. The drive line also offers an expanded power range throughout 21 HYDROVAR models, including applications for 208v electrical supply.

Easy installation and commissioning
The fifth generation HYDROVAR is compatible with the Generation 4 HYDROVAR and is designed to accommodate both new and retrofit installations, including premium efficient motor designs. A newly added wiring harness includes a separated wiring chamber with a dedicated cover that provides safe and easy access to the wiring, while protecting the unit’s electronic components. The clip-and-go mounting system further simplifies the direct-fitting process.

Setup and commissioning are also fast and simple. The start-up menu guides users through every step of HYDROVAR’s commissioning process, while the larger LCD display shows an expanded range of system parameters for standard motors. This functionality enables installers to manage a wider range of data, ensuring accurate programming at setup for expanded system applications ranging from closed-loop HVAC to pressure boosting for irrigation and commercial buildings.

The HYDROVAR comes standard with BACnet and Modbus capabilities for seamless Building Management System (BMS) integration. Optional Wi-Fi for remote connection to the unit via any mobile device, laptop or PC is also available.

Extended system lifecycle, efficient operation and simple retrofitting

Wear and tear caused by fixed-speed operation is minimized due to innovative features, including advanced motor control software that extends the life of the equipment by reducing heat. The HYDROVAR also has an embedded Current Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) filter that lengthens the overall life of other connected equipment and prevents cables from overheating — without the need for reactor filters.

Using HYDROVAR with an existing pump can lead to significant energy savings, especially when operating at partial loads. It can be efficiently retrofitted to any standard fixed-speed pump motor suitable for variable speed operation. HYDROVAR’s direct-mounting method does not require a special adaptor, and is available for power ranges from .75 to 30 HP, making the retrofit process efficient, easy and cost-effective.

“It’s common practice within the industry to oversize pumps for the application, which uses much more energy than needed for typical operation,” Lobo said. “The fifth generation HYDROVAR varies motor speed to match system demands, requiring less power for lower operational costs. Additionally, the soft start-and-stop functionality adapts operation according to system requirements, dramatically extending equipment life.”

HYDROVAR’s modular design enables a customized fit for any configuration of pumps, and can be motor or wall mounted for use with any manufacturer’s pump. Configuration options include a range of a single pump to as many as eight pumps to meet any application requirements.

Introduced in 1995, the HYDROVAR variable speed drive has been continually updated, confirming its legacy as the industry’s choice for optimizing fixed speed pump efficiency. In addition, Xylem’s downloadable energy savings calculator can determine potential energy use and cost savings with the HYDROVAR.

LAS VEGAS – Bell & Gossett (B&G), a Xylem brand, will showcase its industry-leading line of energy-efficient pumps and technologically advanced drives during the 2017 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR) Jan. 30 through Feb. 1 in Las Vegas. Key highlights include B&G’s DOE-compliant pumps, its new pump selection criteria called Part Load Efficiency Value (PLEV), and a new Online Little Red Schoolhouse course on modern pump selection.

DOE compliance

B&G’s e-Series pumps meet and exceed efficiency benchmarks set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in its new standards for centrifugal pumps, three years before the 2020 compliance date. B&G’s product portfolio for commercial building services applications has the largest Efficiency Islands compared to similar pumps, ensuring systems maintain significantly higher levels of efficiency over a wider range of operating conditions.

“Xylem is the only U.S. manufacturer that currently offers a complete product line that meets the new standards, which benefits our customers who are seeking total system solutions,” said Mark Handzel, Vice President Product Regulatory Affairs and Director, HVAC Commercial Buildings, Americas, Xylem. “These highly efficient pumps not only use less energy — one of the primary goals of the DOE regulations — they also contribute to increased system performance and lower life-cycle costs.”

Introducing PLEV

B&G’s PLEV is a new tool for HVAC system designers to specify the most accurate and efficient centrifugal pumps based on their true performance within a hydronic system. PLEV, which stands for Part Load Efficiency Value, is a calculation based on the partial load that a pump will experience most of the time it’s in operation in a commercial building HVAC system.

“HVAC system designers look for smarter ways to maximize efficiencies while reducing costs,” Handzel said. “By matching the equipment more precisely to actual system demands, pumps will use less power and require less maintenance, extending equipment life and meeting efficiency standards.”

B&G will preview a new Online Little Red Schoolhouse course about modern pump selection in the booth. During the five-module course, students will learn best practices for selecting pumps for hydronic systems based on their true performance, taking into consideration PLEV, the pump performance curve, duty point and the effects of oversizing.

As with all Online Little Red Schoolhouse courses, the new course is free to engineers, designers, contractors, building operators and students, and qualifies for continuing education credits. The complete Online Little Red Schoolhouse curriculum covers centrifugal pump and piping system basics, waterside economization, pressure boosting systems and other trending industry topics.

The Online Little Red Schoolhouse is a complement to the hands-on training that more than 61,000 engineers, contractors and installers have experienced since 1954 at the B&G Little Red Schoolhouse in Morton Grove, Illinois.
