Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis investigating the impact of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) levels on the efficiency of two magnetic bearing HAUS Turbo Blower models. Both models operate under identical conditions and load settings, with the only difference being the presence of a harmonic reduction filter in one of them. The analysis involves examining power quality, energy consumption, and harmonic distortion values using an energy analyzer. Experimental data is collected from various points on the turbo blowers and supplemented by weather station measurements. The focus is on energy consumption, harmonic values, and component temperatures, particularly the motor and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Efficiency parameters like Polytropic efficiency and specific power consumption are analyzed, providing insights into the relationship between THD levels and component efficiency. This research aims to optimize the design and operational parameters of magnetic bearing turbo blower systems.
