ABB

We support users who have many rotating machines in the chemical, petroleum, steel, water treatment, food and beverage, and other manufacturing industries, to improve maintenance efficiency.

ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor is an advanced IoT sensor solution that analyzes the condition of motors and general rotational machineries and suggests optimal maintenance timing.

It is especially useful for predictive maintenance of utility facilities and critical production equipment with many pumps and blowers. We support customers who want to shift from breakdown maintenance and time-based maintenance to an advanced maintenance strategy.

Vibration and temperature changes in rotating equipment can indicate potential problems. The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor enables advanced condition monitoring and optimal maintenance planning for rotating equipment.
It is a battery-powered wireless sensor with vibration, surface temperature, and magnetic flux (change in magnetic flux in the motor stator) sensors. By simply attaching one to the surface of a motor or other rotational machinery, it acquires parameters for analyzing health and performance, helping to reduce operational risks.
It has the ability to provide daily and weekly reports of asset alert and alarm information via e-mail.

Customers considering energy savings, e.g. plants and power generation facilities using medium- or large-sized cooling towers.

They are also used in cooling towers in hotels and commercial facilities in urban areas, as they also contribute to noise reduction.

Particularly common are customers dealing with steel and chemical-related materials, as well as consumers using large cooling towers in power generation plants such as biomass and geothermal power stations, who are constantly striving to improve energy efficiency and maintainability, so this product solves those problems.

CTDD not only saves energy, but also contributes to reduced maintenance.

For customers who regularly need man-hours to change belts, lubricate speed reducers, etc., the CTDD can be expected to significantly reduce man-hours because that work is almost eliminated.

Cooling towers are used in all industries worldwide.

Specifically, they are required to cool circulating air and water in factories and facilities.

With conventional systems, maintenance and breakdowns of the gearbox and associated components are often a problem.

The Baldor-Reliance® RPM AC cooling tower direct drive motor (CTDD) eliminates these problems by coupling the motor to the fan and controlling it with a unique drive.

This means that transmission equipment such as gearboxes and belts between the motor and the cooling tower wings are not required.

This design significantly reduces the need for maintenance and regular servicing of the coupling equipment.

By using a gearbox, the speed of the motor can be reduced and a higher torque can be achieved.

With normal general-purpose motors, it is difficult to achieve high torque at low speeds and even if theoretically designed, the motor would be very large.

CTDDs can produce high output in the low speed range while keeping their size down. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for reduction gears and belts.

This is intended for customers using three-phase induction motors.

<Size, specifications, environment>
The motors are used with outputs from 5.5kw to 315kw.

The motor can be operated exclusively with an inverter.

The motors are designed for non-explosion-proof environments.

<Industry>
Not for any specific industry, but for all industries.

<Application>
More effective for motors that run continuously and for long periods of time.
Motors that run continuously for approximately four hours a day, such as utility fans and pumps, should be targeted first.
Pumps
- Fans
- Agitators
- Mixers
- Conveyors
- Compressors

<Long service life>
Long service life can be expected because the rotor is designed to generate less heat.
Similarly, the maintenance interval can be extended because the bearing lubrication pace is longer than that of general induction motors.


<Differences from conventional synchronous high-efficiency motors>
- Easier maintenance as no permanent magnets are used
- Higher safety of supply as no rare earths are used
- CO2 reduction is expected from the production process as recycled materials are used.

The EC Titanium is an integrated inverter motor, which is also easy to install.

It is therefore ideal for missed inverterisation, i.e. compact applications, with direct start-up.

For example, equipment in environments where it is not possible to install an inverter panel, such as narrow and secluded areas, or applications where the hurdles to installing an inverter panel are too high.

If you find such an application in your factory, it is a great opportunity to save energy.

<Applications>
This is more effective for motors that run continuously and for long periods of time.
Target first of all motors that run continuously for about four hours a day, such as utility fans and pumps.

These are the next generation of motors with high efficiency and long life.

ABB's IE5+ inverter-integrated motor EC Titanium™ is an ultra-efficient motor with a maximum efficiency of IE5 or higher according to IEC efficiency standards.

The ultra-high efficiency is achieved by a rotor structure that combines synchronous reluctance and permanent magnet technology.

This motor series in particular achieves high efficiency and high torque, which is considered difficult to achieve with small motors.

Although permanent magnets are used, they are rare earth-free, so they are environmentally friendly and there is no risk of supply insecurity.

The output range is 0.75kW~11kW and the integrated inverter eliminates the need for an inverter panel and reduces wiring man-hours.

Inverters can easily be converted to inverters in environments where it is difficult to install inverters, which would have been given up in the past.

This product is intended for air-conditioning blower customers.

The design differs from the conventional concept of a motor with a rotating shaft and is commonly referred to as an outer rotor motor.

Main industries
Data centres
Commercial installations and buildings
Industries requiring air conditioning

Applications
Fans for air-conditioning

The small size of the application allows the motor to be inverted in a space-saving manner in installations where inverterisation is lagging behind or where a separate inverter panel would be very large.

In addition, the absence of a shaft allows designs to be shortened in the overall length direction, which saves space for the entire air-conditioning unit.

The compact design and light weight of the ERH facilitates installation of the fan system, reduces assembly time and minimises errors.

The efficient design and high-quality components enable optimised energy utilisation and reduced maintenance.

This leads to cost savings over the entire lifetime of the system.

The strong demand for energy savings, mainly in data centre air conditioning, makes inverter operation a necessity.

Therefore, the ERH can meet the expectations of customers who require energy and space savings due to the extremely compact design of the inverter mounted on the motor.

The ERH is an inverter-equipped outer rotor synchronous brushless EC motor.This means that there is no need for gearboxes, belts or other transmission equipment between the motor and the cooling tower wings.

Compared to conventional motors, the ERH, with its new direct drive technology, offers no couplings, fewer maintenance parts, lightweight construction, quieter operation and a compact design.

This is a new solution for air-conditioning equipment."

This design significantly reduces maintenance and regular servicing of the coupled equipment.

By using a gearbox, the speed of the motor can be reduced and a higher torque can be achieved.

These are the next generation of motors with high efficiency and long life.

Launched in 2011, ABB's Synchronous Reluctance Motor SynRM has a reliable and proven track record.

Already in production for more than 10 years, with a wide range of small to large variants in mass production for general purpose applications

The technology has been matured and innovated, and in 2023 the world's first safety-enhanced, explosion-proof, water-cooled IE5 SynRM will be launched.

This enables the study of higher efficiency in environments that could not be studied in the past.

In particular, the water-cooled version does not require a fan cooling function, thus preventing wind noise and dust dispersion and creating a comfortable on-site environment.

Furthermore, in June last year, we achieved an ultra-high efficiency equivalent to IE6.
