Variable Frequency Controller

Variable Speed

Variable speed pumps are controlled by the VFC™ variable frequency controller which provides control for both 2 Hp and 4 Hp variable speed submersible turbine pumps.

Highlights

FILL CARS FASTER WITH VARIABLE SPEED

As station size and volumes have continued to grow, more marketers are choosing variable speed to meet the high fuel throughput demands while gaining additional benefits only variable speed can offer.

Higher Flow Rates

The MagVFC™ variable speed controller ramps the STP up and down as-needed to provide optimal flow rates at all fueling points. The result is faster, more consistent flow rates than fixed speed systems at virtually the same cost of ownership.

Minimize Hydraulic Hammer

Hydraulic hammer is a sudden pressure spike resulting from a stoppage in flow that can be exaggerated in fixed speed pumping systems. A variable speed system significantly minimizes the effects of hydraulic hammer like accelerated wear on equipment.

Energy Efficiency

Because a variable speed system is constantly providing only the necessary power to achieve desired flow rates, the system only consumes as much energy as is needed. Get energy savings during non-peak business hours and increased flow during peak hours.

Specifications

Standard Features

  • All IST models include variable speed, variable length options and alcohol-gasoline compatibility.
  • Check valve: 2¾" diameter fluorocarbon seal constructed on cast aluminum body and steel backing washer.
  • Pressure relief valve: available in four pressure relief settings, integral to check valve. Standard model relieves at 40 psi and resets above 35 psi.
  • Syphon: venturi-type syphon primer supplied with every submersible. Syphon check valve and secondary syphon sold separately.
  • Air eliminator: every submersible includes tank return path with one-way check valve to provide active air elimination.
  • Electrical disconnect: electrical yoke for positive contractor disconnect during service.

Pump Motor

  • 2 hp or 4 hp, variable speed, two-stage centrifugal type pump motor with integral, automatic, thermal overload protection.
  • Max. flow: 2 hp = 110 gpm, 4 hp = 140 gpm.
  • Max. pressure: selectable operating pressure on MagVFC™ between 24 psi and 42 psi deadhead.
  • Available with MagShell™, which results in 45% increased flow area around motor.

Power Requirements - 60Hz & 50Hz

IST models can only be powered by a MagVFC™ or EcoVFC™ controller:

  • 2 hp models can operate with single phase incoming power supply to the MagVFC™.
  • 2 hp and 4 hp models operate with three-phase incoming power supply to the EcoVFC™.
  • Incoming power supply to the MagVFC™ can be 200-250 VAC, 50 Hz and 360-440 VAC, 50 Hz for the EcoVFC™.
  • MagVFC™ outputs a three-phase, variable frequency signal, valid for FE Petro variable speed pumps only.
  • 2 hp max. motor draw: 9 Amps.
  • 4 hp max. motor draw: 15 Amps.
  • MagVFC™ max. line draw: 20 Amps.

Liquid Compatibility

  • Max. liquid viscosity: 70 SSU at 60 °F (15 °C).
  • IST models imply alcohol-gasoline compatibility for fuel mixtures containing up to 85% ethanol, and 20% MTBE, 20% ETBE or 17% TAME with gasoline.
  • IST models can also be used with diesel fuels, fuel oils, kerosene, Avgas and jet fuels in a non-gelled pourable state.
  • All wetted elastomers are made of a high grade, fluorocarbon compound.

Approvals/Certifications

  • Consult factory for applicable approvals.
  • Franklin Fueling Systems is an ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturer.
