Irrigation, sprinkling, water management – optimum flow and perfect pressure in the system are just as crucial for first-class irrigation as reliability and ease of operation. The reliable SPC pump controller with GPS monitoring in the modular outdoor control cabinet regulates the pressure and flow rate as required. This leads to considerable energy and water savings. Furthermore, the pressure reduction with gentle pressure changes made possible by the special PID control for irrigation applications offers additional benefits. These functions help to protect the pipe system, resulting in fewer leaks and less water loss. The convenient control system therefore extends the service life of the pipe system and reduces the need for investment. Experience with many irrigation applications shows that the ST frequency converters in the SPC pump control system are expected to consume 35% less energy compared to alternative pump control systems.

Structures in groundwater, such as drinking water wells, service water wells, fire extinguishing wells and irrigation wells pose a particular challenge for planning and execution. All of this requires a high level of expertise on the part of the well constructor and many questions arise, for example about the ground conditions, drilling depth and drilling diameter. Added to this is the technically precise removal of the well and the installation of the pump. Sourcetronic supports you in electrotechnical and electronic matters and enables rapid implementation of the control technology. From the installation of simple SPC standard pump controls, the connection of the pump and cable installation to the project planning of complex pump systems.

Construction work, environmental protection, mining: lowering the groundwater level is necessary in many situations. Pumping is usually carried out with the help of wells. Sourcetronic supplies the electrical technology for pump control, which allows users to react flexibly to changing water levels and monitor the water level.

Groundwater is available almost everywhere in Europe – for example, it secures the drinking water supply for millions of people. However, it can also become a problem, for example if it floods a construction pit. Less visible, but no less problematic, is the entry of pollutants into the environment with the groundwater flow. There are also many other situations in which water ingress is critical. In all cases it is necessary to lower the level and control the water flow. This is technically known as groundwater drainage. In addition to pump and well technology, this requires flexible control and monitoring. Sourcetronic realizes both with modern technology for different application environments.

In industrial cooling systems such as cooling towers or geothermal systems, the largest pumps in a system often run continuously around the clock. An intelligent control strategy helps to optimize system efficiency and the load profile in these applications. As these systems rarely have a constant load, the use of a frequency inverter control is ideal. As a rule, a temperature sensor measures the temperature where it is most important. The frequency inverter regulates the pump output depending on the temperature. The pump maintains a high level of efficiency regardless of the load fluctuation and consumes less energy. Of course, the temperature data can be monitored and saved, ensuring continuous documentation.
