Blower controller

Introduction Rigel Controls provide historical and real-time data for predictive maintenance engineered with the newest technologies for new and existing multistage centrifugal blowers. With minimal cabling and wiring, Rigel Controls reduces installation and maintenance costs while providing advanced diagnostics and precise system control that are unmatched by ordinary Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).

Benefits Include:

• Works with all plant control systems
• Meter-less flow control utilizing proprietary algorithms
• SCADA ready panels with Ethernet standard
• Pre-engineered design packages that greatly reduce electrical installation costs
• Automated monitoring to provide historical and real-time data for predictive maintenance
• Available on new systems and as an aftermarket upgrade

Performance and Energy Savings Rigel Controls offer an annual 20% savings in energy usage when compared to inlet throttling. The system uses advanced control algorithms to optimize blower performance across operating conditions, delivering improved efficiency and more precise flow control than conventional methods.

Applications Designed to optimize new and existing HOFFMAN & LAMSON multistage centrifugal blowers for reliable, efficient performance in industrial air and gas handling, water and wastewater treatment, and other process applications requiring accurate blower control and monitoring.
