Turbo Trac’s IVT introduction follows successful testing at the renowned Southwest Research Institute. Testing confirmed the IVT’s advantages in speed regulation as well as the superior gains in system efficiency. Operators benefit from improved system productivity and substantial savings on maintenance and energy costs. The IVT achieved peak mechanical efficiency of 93%, with a guaranteed resolution of 0.01% even in poor power quality conditions. No need to compensate poor throughput efficiency with oversized motors! Similar system efficiency achievements were obtained at input speeds of 1800 rpm at 50, 75 and 100 HP.
IVT Plus ICE Performance
Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) aren't very efficient with only 20% of the power produced by the burning fuel being useful and even less than that ever makes it to the pump jack. The unit coupled with an ICE will deliver the IVT’s advantages in speed regulation and system efficiency. Operators benefit from reduced fuel consumption and substantial savings on maintenance and energy cost. The IVT will achieve almost constant fuel consumption over the entire speed range. There is no need to compensate for poor throughput efficiency with oversized internal combustion engines!
IVT Improves Pump Jack System Efficiency
The IVT replaces the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and used with a constant speed, premium efficiency motor. Together, the IVT/ premium motor system will raise efficiency by 10% or more over the VFD/motor combination while providing better system productivity and reduced operating cost.
This provides the operator with a higher efficiency system than using other control devices.
In addition to higher productivity and lower operating costs, Turbo Trac's IVT also provides:
• Increased Reliability
• Ability to withstand harsh environments
• No impact from voltage sags
• No expensive electric conditioning equipment to protect control device
• No advanced electrical training required for operation
