Stage II Vapor Recovery Systems are designed to collect gasoline vapors that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere as vehicles are being refueled. Government regulations require the use of these recovery systems, especially in areas where air pollution is high.
The customer had been manufacturing their Vapor Recovery system using a 3-phase stator and rotor. When they began working with Groschopp, the goal was to replace the 3-phase components with a 2-phase motor and control. Groschopp engineers worked closely with the OEM to make sure that the motor would drop into the existing end bells. Not only did the customer want to keep the existing end bells, they wanted to be able to retrofit their installed base when doing routine system refurbishments.
Challenges
- 2-phase motor & control
- Drop-in replacement to fit end bells
- Retrofit existing systems for refurbishment
Solution
- Custom 2 phase AC Motor
- Size & mounting configuration to fit current end bells
