Danfoss 131F3990 FC 202 AQUA Drive 22 kW IP21 Coated

Description

FC 202 22 kW with coated boards: for wastewater plant atmospheres

Danfoss 131F3990 is an FC-202P22KT4E21H1XGC drive. The power is 22 kW (30 HP) on 380 to 480 V, the housing IP21 / Type 1 and the frame B2. The distinguishing letter is the C in the coating position: the printed circuit boards are conformally coated, which is the Danfoss answer for air that contains hydrogen sulphide or other aggressive gases, as found in sewage lift stations and treatment works.

The store lists 37.5 A continuous at high overload and 44 A at normal overload, 444 W and 525 W of loss respectively, and 30.5 kVA.

Why the coating matters

Uncoated electronics corrode in sulphide-rich air, and the failure can appear after months as intermittent faults or a dead control card. The coating slows that process, but it is not a replacement for a clean, ventilated electrical room with positive air pressure or filtration. The guide explains the environmental classes that apply to the coated variants.

For the pump itself, the AQUA guide lists a cascade controller, sleep mode, broken-belt detection and an energy log. Those features reduce operating hours and make the data from a drive useful to the plant manager.

Heat, space and the overload choice

The B2 frame measures 664 x 243 x 261 mm (H x W x D) and weighs 28.39 kg; the IP21 housing is for indoor installation, so a rain shield or a building is needed. The drive loses 525 W at normal overload, which must be removed from the room.

With 44 A at normal overload and 37.5 A at high overload, a 22 kW motor on a centrifugal pump will normally use the normal-overload setting. Check the actual motor current in the nameplate before deciding.

Request the environmental data of the room, such as measured hydrogen sulphide level or the classification of the atmosphere, when you ask for a quotation. The coated board is a good first measure, yet the room design, door seals and air filtration decide whether the drive lasts. We can discuss the requirements with you before the order is released.

Our quotation for 131F3990 will state what is included, such as the document set and the packing, and what is not, for instance accessories or commissioning. Read these lines against your specification, and ask us to adjust the scope if your project requires something extra.

Ordering notes

Confirm the gas concentration, the room, the supply and the motor current before ordering. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat and can quote 131F3990. The attached Danfoss FC 202 operating guide AQ267037400115 gives the installation requirements; related items are under AC drives.

About brand

Danfoss is the Danish engineering group that makes refrigeration and air-conditioning controls, heating components, variable speed drives and mobile hydraulics. Mads Clausen founded it on 1 September 1933 at his parents' farm in Nordborg on the island of Als, after making his first refrigeration expansion valve in 1932. Nordborg is still the group's headquarters, and Danfoss remains controlled by the Clausen family through the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation.

Danfoss company profile

Founded 1 September 1933, Nordborg, Denmark, by Mads Clausen (1905–1966)
First product Thermostatic expansion valve for refrigeration
Headquarters Nordborg, Denmark
Ownership Private; majority controlled by the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation and the Clausen family
Size About 42,000 employees (2023)
Business segments Danfoss Climate Solutions (refrigeration, air conditioning and heating), Danfoss Drives (VLT and VACON frequency converters, soft starters), Danfoss Power Solutions (mobile and industrial hydraulics)

Milestones

  • 1932–1933: First expansion valve; the company is founded in Nordborg.
  • 1939: 26 employees. By the 10th anniversary in 1943 the company has 179.
  • 1950s: Rapid growth turns Nordborg into a Danfoss town with housing and schools for its workforce.
  • 1968: Danfoss launches its VLT frequency converter, one of the first mass-produced AC drives.
  • 2014: Acquisition of the Finnish drives maker Vacon, now the VACON brand.
  • 2021: Acquisition of Eaton's hydraulics business.

Choosing Danfoss products

For solenoid valves, check the operating principle. A direct-operated valve such as EV210B opens even at 0 bar differential pressure. A servo-operated valve such as EV220B needs a minimum differential (typically about 0.3 bar) to open, while an assisted-lift valve such as EV250B works from 0 bar. Coils are ordered separately, so the voltage on the coil (for example 230 V AC or 24 V DC) must match the control circuit. For drives, the VLT family is split by application: FC 51 Micro Drive for small machines, FC 102 HVAC Drive for fans and pumps in buildings, FC 202 AQUA Drive for water, and FC 302 AutomationDrive for demanding industrial duty.

Where Danfoss products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Danfoss drives run pumps, fans and compressors in district cooling plants, water and wastewater stations, desalination and building HVAC. Danfoss pressure switches, transmitters and solenoid valves are built into chillers, refrigeration plants, boilers and hydraulic systems, and AB-QM valves balance chilled-water circuits in large buildings.

Ordering Danfoss products: what we need

Send the Danfoss code number from the label (for example 032U7115 or 131B0149) or the full drive type code (FC-302P3K0T5...). For drives, add the motor power, supply voltage and any fieldbus option. For valves, add the size, connection, medium and coil voltage. For pressure switches and transmitters, add the range, output and pressure connection.

Why is it coated?
The coating position is C, meaning conformally coated boards for harsher air than a standard board tolerates.
Is IP21 enough for outdoor use?
No. IP21 is for indoor installation.
Which overload rating should I choose?
Normal overload for most centrifugal pumps; check the motor current against the 44 A and 37.5 A values.
Which document is included?
The Danfoss FC 202 operating guide AQ267037400115.
