Variable Speed Conversion KitThe advantages you gain from upgrading from fixed speed to variable speed are undeniable. With Franklin Fueling Systems Variable Speed Conversion Kits you can achieve higher, consistent flow rates, in turn boosting your profits, while eliminating the wear and tear hydraulic hammer can cause. Installation is easy with a variable speed pump motor assembly, MagVFCTM variable frequency controller and four-wire contractor’s plug. All in one variable speed kits are compatible with both FE Petro brand systems, as well as other competitive systems. The MagVFC works with the existing system to increase flow as more fueling points go live, delivering the flow you need as you need it. Your customers will know the difference between sites that provide steady flow and faster fueling during peak business hours and those sites that don’t. |
Advantages
- Upgrading to variable speed can increase flow rates, in turn increasing profits as more customers are able to fill faster.
- Affordable upgrade, the conversion requires a minimal investment compared to purchasing complete variable speed submersible turbine pumps as you are reusing the majority of existing system components.
- Easy installation, consisting of swapping out the fixed speed motor and the control relay box and adjusting the variable length submersible turbine pump column pipe or riser accordingly.
- Increased flow is automatically delivered as more nozzles go live which keeps the product flowing, the forecourt moving and the business up.

What is Hydraulic Hammer?
Hydraulic hammer is defined as a sudden pressure spike that is the result of a sudden stoppage in flow in a pressurized piping system. Hydraulic hammer is at its worst in a system that utilizes a high pressure fixed submersible turbine pump. A fixed speed pumping system is incapable of changing the flow rate dependent upon demand and as a result, hydraulic hammer is likely to result when flow is interrupted. Hydraulic hammer may result in system fatigue and intensified wear to system components such as diaphragm valves in multi-product dispensers, leak detectors or hanging hardware. A variable speed submersible turbine pump will operate at lower pressures and significantly minimize the effects of hydraulic hammer.
