Power plants and energy facilities run on auxiliary equipment that must never fail: boiler fans, feed-water pumps, cooling water systems and fuel-handling conveyors. These machines often operate at fixed speed with throttling valves and dampers to regulate output — an approach that wastes energy and stresses the equipment. In a sector where availability is everything, every avoidable failure is expensive.
The challenge
- Throttling and damper control waste a significant share of fan and pump energy.
- Frequent inrush currents and mechanical shocks shorten the life of motors and driven equipment.
- Harsh environments — heat, vibration, dust and humidity — demand components built to survive.
The Techenn solution
- VFD retrofit for auxiliary machines — the NT2400 series replaces throttling with true speed control for boiler fans, pumps and cooling systems, cutting auxiliary power consumption while giving operators precise flow control.
- Heavy-duty motors designed for continuous, high-availability operation in demanding plant environments.
- Automation and control engineering for auxiliary systems, including instrumentation and interlocking, to integrate drives into plant control architecture.
- Full plant-equipment construction capability for new auxiliary systems across chemical, manufacturing and environmental protection projects.
What you gain
- Lower auxiliary power consumption through speed-based flow and pressure control.
- Reduced inrush current and mechanical stress, extending motor and pump life.
- Smoother process regulation with better response to load changes.
- Local supply, engineering support and fast after-sales response for critical plant equipment.
Typical applications
Boiler forced-draft and induced-draft fans, feed-water and cooling-water pumps, coal- and fuel-handling conveyors, ash-handling systems and renewable-energy auxiliary drives.
Keep your plant running at peak availability with drives engineered for continuous duty. Contact the Techenn team to discuss an energy audit and retrofit plan for your auxiliary systems.
