Flowserve introduces intelligent pump system

Aug. 1, 2006
Flowserve Corp. introduces IPS Tempo, a pre-engineered intelligent pump optimization, control, and protection system designed to improve performance, lower total cost of ownership, reduce power consumption up to 50%, and improve mean time between repair (MTBR).

Flowserve Corp. introduces IPS Tempo, a pre-engineered intelligent pump optimization, control, and protection system designed to improve performance, lower total cost of ownership, reduce power consumption up to 50%, and improve mean time between repair (MTBR).

IPS Tempo incorporates variable frequency drive technology, pump-specific optimization software, an industrial-grade electric drive, and a menu-driven user interface.

IPS Tempo helps eliminate downtime and repairs caused by dry running, blocked lines, pump overloads, closed suction or discharge valves, cavitation, and excessive wear or rubbing. Users can program IPS Tempo to respond to process and condition variables to protect pump equipment against adverse operating conditions.

IPS Tempo adjusts pump operations for flow, pressure, temperature, and fluid level changes. It monitors process variables and pump power, and offers condition monitoring and control.

The system incorporates variable frequency technology, pump-specific optimization software, an industrial-grade electric drive, and a menu-driven user interface. It integrates a unique, pump-specific user interface, a quick-start setup and configuration, soft-start and soft-stop capability, and pre-engineered pump protection features.

IPS Tempo has the most common pump-specific parameters built into its setup, including capacity and head. Users can configure it in less than 30 minutes.

IPS Tempo can benefit critical pump applications as well as ones with varying system parameters, such as tank car unloading and multi-service pumps.
