Franklin Fueling Systems MagVFC 2 HP or 4 HP Variable Frequency Controller

FE Petro introduced the first variable speed submersible pump for the petroleum industry in 1995. Since that time, high volume marketers around the world have realized the benefits of filling cars faster during peak business periods that only variable speed submersibles can deliver. Station size and volumes have continued to grow. To meet the needs of these high volume retailers, FE Petro offers the intelligent submersible turbine pump, the industry’s highest performing 4" diameter submersible pump.

Features

Constant Flow Depending on peak business requirements, marketers now have a choice of either 2 hp or 4 hp variable speed models. 2 hp provides constant 10 gpm (38 lpm) for up to eight fueling positions operating simultaneously, 4 hp for up to 12 positions.

MagVFC™ Design Highlights
The MagVFC™ features a dual seven segment display to show diagnostic faults. A serial interface is standard to connect to INCON System Sentinel™ software for remote reporting of pump alarms and sharing other pump/ATG intelligence. The MagVFC™ detects and displays these system conditions:

• Dry tank (initiates an immediate pump shut-down)
• Continuous pump run.
• Low incoming voltage
• Pump motor failure
• Short circuit detection
• Controller faults
• Open circuit detection

For reduced installation cost, a shielded power cable is not required. Pump protection extends pump life and extended run fault alerts a condition that may render line leak detection ineffective. Remote reporting of pump alarms and sharing of IST and ATG intelligence further reduce station operating costs.

Meets EPA Spit back Control
The IST can be adjusted at installation to perform at maximum per nozzle flow rate of 10 gpm (38 lpm) based on the specifications of your piping and dispensing system. This eliminates over pressuring the system, which results in an unnecessarily high hydraulic hammer and need for other control devices.

Specifications

Power Requirements

• IST models can only be powered by a MagVFC™ controller: One required per IST
• 2 hp models can operate with single- or three-phase incoming power supply to the MagVFC™
• 4 hp models require three-phase incoming power supply to the MagVFC™ for proper operation
• Incoming power supply to the MagVFC™ can be 200-250 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz.
• MagVFC™ outputs a three-phase, variable frequency signal, valid for FE Petro variable speed pumps only
• 2 hp max. motor draw: 9 Amps
• 4 hp max. motor draw: 15 Amps
• MagVFC™ max. line draw: 20 Amps

Pump Motor

• 2 hp or 4 hp, variable speed, two-stage centrifugal type pump motor with integral, automatic, thermal overload protection
• Max. flow: 2 hp = 110 gpm, 4 hp = 140 gpm
• Max. pressure: selectable operating pressure on MagVFC™ between 24 psi and 42 psi deadhead
• Available with MagShell™, which results in 45% increased flow area around motor

Liquid Compatibility

• Max. liquid viscosity: 70 SSU at 60 °F (15 °C)
• IST models imply alcohol-gasoline compatibility for fuel mixtures containing up to 85% ethanol, and 20% MTBE, 20% ETBE or 17% TAME with gasoline
• IST models can also be used with diesel fuels, fuel oils, kerosene, Avgas and jet fuels in a non-gelled pourable state
• All wetted elastomers are made of a high grade, fluorocarbon compound

Standard Features

• All IST models include variable speed, variable length options and alcohol-gasoline compatibility
• Check valve: 2¾" diameter fluorocarbon seal constructed on cast aluminum body and steel backing washer
• Pressure relief valve: available in four pressure relief settings, integral to check valve. Standard model relieves at 40 psi and resets above 35 psi
• Syphon: venturi-type syphon primer supplied with every submersible. Syphon check valve and secondary syphon sold separately
• Air eliminator: every submersible includes tank return path with one-way check valve to provide active air elimination
• Electrical disconnect: electrical yoke for positive contractor disconnect during service

Quality Certification

• Franklin Fueling Systems is an ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturer
