VLT~® drives control energy consumption at LEGOLAND~®

摘要

The Vikings' River Splash is a popular attraction at LECOLAND~®. It also consumes more energy than nearly everything else in the amusement park. However, by installing Danfoss VLT~® frequency converters, electricity consumption has been reduced by 190,000kWh per annum, and at the same time it has become easier to regulate water flow. Something within the region of 1,800 litres of water per second are pumped round the channels so that children and adults can have fun. The goal is to use only the necessary amount of water to send the park's guests on a wild ride in the tub-shaped boats. The ride uses propeller pumps to generate the water flow and create a "rafting effect".
