The energy consumption of integrated sterile water treatment equipment varies under different water outputs, which is mainly affected by the following factors:
1. Basic energy consumption of equipment power and operating mechanism:
When the integrated sterile water treatment equipment is in standby or maintains basic operation, there is a certain basic energy consumption, such as the power consumption of control systems, sensors and other components. Even if there is no water being treated by the equipment, these basic components still need to consume a small amount of electricity to maintain the equipment's readiness. When the water output is low, this part of the basic energy consumption accounts for a relatively high proportion of the total energy consumption. Because the actual energy consumption for water treatment is less at this time, the proportion of basic energy consumption is more prominent.
The core processing components of the equipment, such as water pumps, filters, disinfection devices, etc., have their own rated power. These components consume electricity during operation, and their power size is related to the design and selection of the equipment. When the equipment starts to treat water, the operating power of these components is the main component of energy consumption. At low water production, these components may not operate at full power, but they will still consume a certain amount of electricity. As the water production increases, their operating power will gradually approach the rated power, and the energy consumption will increase accordingly.
2. Changes in water pump energy consumption:
The water pump is a key component used to transport water in Integrated sterile water treatment equipment, and its energy consumption is closely related to the water flow rate. When the water production is low, the water resistance that the water pump needs to overcome is relatively small, and the power required for operation is also low, so the energy consumption is relatively low. As the water production continues to increase, the water flow rate increases, and the water pump needs to provide greater power to overcome the water resistance. Its operating power will gradually increase, and energy consumption will also rise rapidly. For example, in a small Integrated sterile water treatment equipment, when the water production increases from 1 cubic meter per hour to 5 cubic meters per hour, the energy consumption of the water pump may increase several times.
3. Changes in the energy consumption of the filtration system:
The filtration system plays a role in removing impurities from the water in the Integrated sterile water treatment equipment. Different filtration methods, such as physical filtration and reverse osmosis filtration, have different energy consumption characteristics. When the water output is low, the load of the filtration system is small, the resistance of the filter medium is relatively small, and the energy consumption is relatively low. However, as the water output increases, the amount of water that the filter medium needs to treat increases, the impurity accumulation rate accelerates, and the resistance of the filtration system will gradually increase, resulting in increased energy consumption. For example, when the water output of the reverse osmosis filtration system increases, a higher pressure is required to push water through the reverse osmosis membrane, which requires more electricity to drive equipment such as high-pressure pumps.
4. Changes in energy consumption of the disinfection system:
The disinfection system is an important part of ensuring the quality of sterile water. Common disinfection methods include ultraviolet disinfection and ozone disinfection. The energy consumption of these disinfection methods will also change under different water outputs. When the water output is low, the operation time of the disinfection system is relatively short, because the water flow is small and the time to pass through the disinfection area is short, so the energy consumption is relatively low. When the water output increases, the residence time of water in the disinfection area is shortened. In order to ensure the disinfection effect, the disinfection system may need to increase the disinfection dosage or extend the disinfection time, which will lead to increased energy consumption. For example, when the water production of a UV disinfection system increases, the power or number of UV lamps may need to be increased to ensure adequate disinfection of the water.
