Processing Magazine 2010 Breakthrough Product - Hoffman™ Revolution™

09 Dec 2010


The Hoffman Revolution is a line of high speed centrifugal blowers, designed as the world’s most advanced energy management system. And the first high speed centrifugal in its class designed built and tested in the Unites States. The Revolution was introduced October 4, 2010 at WEFTEC in New Orleans, LA. The first in a family of blowers, the R-200 and R-300 are capable of flows from 2,500–8,500 CFM and pressures from 3–15 PSIG.

Highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and in a class of its own, the Revolution initially intended for applications in water and wastewater treatment markets the Revolution is recognized for innovation and quality.

The Revolution is truly breakthrough technology that takes performance and power savings to new heights of efficiency, reliability and control. Incorporating infinite life cycle active magnetic bearings driven by a permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM), which is controlled by a current source inverter (CSI) type variable frequency drive (VFD), and integrated HMI touch screen optimizes control and simplifies operation. The Revolution is factory pre-wired and tested in an ergonomically designed sound enclosure for plug and play operation.

The Revolution features the most advanced and proprietary surge controller in the industry for optimized turndown, longer equipment life, and virtually no downtime.

Customer benefits include:

 

  • Plug-and-play operation
  • 25%–45% energy savings
  • Increased reliability
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Low sound levels
  • Small footprint
  • Reduced construction and installation costs
 
  • Made in the USA
  • Active magnectic bearing technology
  • Patented surge control technology
  • High efficient permanent magnetic motor
  • Self contained cooling system
  • Customer specified PLC option
  • Advanced HMI touch screen
 

 


What makes the Revolution unique is the combination of the dynamic surge algorithm and magnetic bearing’s active communication, which allows the Revolution to know the exact position of the rotor, actual surge point, regardless of changing environmental conditions, and precise control surge and speed to leverage turndown to maximize power savings.
