Shipping industry VSDs
22 May 2014
UK-based variable speed drives specialist, Invertek Drives, is experiencing significant growth in global demand from the marine sector where the company's innovative AC inverters have been proven to save energy and cut CO₂ emissions.

A new dedicated ‘Marine’ brochure provides detailed information on how Optidrive variable speed drives can be used to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions in a wide range of maritime applications.
Approved by the World’s largest ship and offshore classification society, DNV GL, Optidrive VSDs can cut the energy consumption of a variety of equipment found on marine vessels by as much as 60% – helping ship owners to meet CO2 reduction targets and reduce their operating costs.
The high-performance motor control capability offered by Optidrive P2 and Optidrive HVAC can be retrofitted in a number of different ship-building applications including the control of cranes, bow thrusters, winches, compressors, ventilation fan and pumps.MORE FROM THIS COMPANY
