| The power consumption of batch and continuous A-centrifugals was compared. Results showed that the power drawn by continuous machines was low and did not vary appreciably, whereas with batch centrifugals, there were large variations over a centrifuging cycles (respectively between 0.5 and 0.6 compared to 1.2-3.1 kWh/t of massecuite). A batch centrifugal with pole changing circuitry requires higher power/tonne of massecuite compared to a batch machine driven by a variable speed drive, as the latter has greater regenerative capacity which considerably lowers the net energy imported from the grid. The electrical running costs increase progressively for continuous centrifugals, batch machines driven by inverter and batch machines with pole changing units. | |
