Nedap supplied the lamp drivers to one of the major companies in the printing industry in the USA. The company wanted to change the power supply to more intelligent Electronic Lamp Drivers.
The company wanted to improve the overall quality and reliability of their product by converting to new driver technology.
The CE and UL/cUL approved medium pressure UV Lamp drivers enable more stable UV output and higher efficiency.
- Energy saving
- Less printer downtime
- Waste reduction as the lamp life is extended
- The compact driver design saves costs as less cabinet space is required
Changing from electromagnetic 50/60 HZ ballasts to Nedap electronic lamp drivers.
The Lamp Driver Efficiency output Graph shows the excellent out put stability and high efficiency, over a wide input voltage range.

Insights
Relevant data for cleaner operation.
The 4kW driver platform is the most flexible product developed by Nedap. It gives you full power to develop your specialised product by offering maximum flexibility in configuration, choice of UV lamp and serial or parallel operation. The compact design makes it ideal for disinfection and curing applications where space is limited.
With Nedap’s integrated software and Modbus / Bluetooth interface, owners get real time diagnostic data of individual drivers. These valuable insights about the functioning of the systems allow for predictive maintenance in which downtime is minimised. Service personnel can use the UV Monitor app to see the equipment’s status and view its performance.
The ambition of Nedap is to create technology that has a positive impact in people’s professional lives. The 4/8 kW lamp driver platform empower integrators to easily adopt and deploy intelligent UV treatment- and disinfection solutions. The driver platform is compatible with most major medium pressure UV lamps, has pre-programmed power settings and can easily be configurated via the PC lamp driver tool and integrated software.
The robust and compact design also make the 4/8 kW driver platform very suitable for marine applications. The technology onboard ships must operate at high efficiency in order to load the ship’s electronic grid as carefully as possible. Being aware of harmonic distortion – also known as interference – these kinds of systems is important. The combination of high power factor (>0,98), low Total Harmonic Distortion (<5%) and high efficiency (96,5%) distinguishes Nedap’s lamp driver technology.
Nedap supplied the lamp drivers for the largest UV drinking water purification plant for New York City, the biggest one ever built. The plant can supply 8.3 billion liters of clean water to the more than 9 million inhabitants of New York and environs.
The water is supplied from the Catskill / Delaware reservoirs 160 km from the city of New York.
To purify the water, 6000 UV Nedap lamp drivers were installed to drive 12.000 low pressure lamps. In this way the gigantic, hyper-modern purification plant is highly efficient in energy use.
- Lower operating costs
- Ease of operation and maintenance
In the end, the decisive factor was our low-energy solution. This not only saves a great deal of money, but no less importantly, also reduces CO2 emissions, emphasizing Nedap’s focus on more sustainable operation.

Most efficient UV driver technology
All over the world there is awareness that clean drinking water is likely to become a scarce resource. New technology will help to increase production and to make the underlying processes more efficient at the same time. Nedap’s Low Pressure Lamp Drivers have a proven efficiency of at least 95%.
Full control with Nedap software
Dedicated Nedap software can be used by engineers to test the electronic platform and to fine tune the UV lamp settings in relation to the required UV levels. The embedded software has a diagnose functionality to report about lamp status, lamp failure, lamp driver temperature and other system operations. A perfect solution to improve the im plementation processes and to reduce installation costs and time.

For millions of people a shortage of clean drinking water is a reality they must face every day. Sometimes they simply do not have enough, in other cases the available water is contaminated. In developing countries, poor water quality is the leading cause of health problems. Eighty percent of all illnesses in developing countries are caused by polluted water. It is estimated that 2 million people die from these illnesses every year.
Safe drinking water within half an hour
Improved health of school children
Supplies the total daily amount of fresh water needed
Safe drinking water after massive earthquake
Proven to be an excellent solution
Lower medical bills due to safe drinking water
Early august 2014, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake, left more than 600 dead and damaged or destroyed over 66,000 homes in China’s southwest province Yunnan. Water supply has been polluted because of landslides caused by the earthquake.
In one of the temporary shelter sites, Nedap’s solar powered Naïade water purification units have been installed, sponsored by the China Women’s Development Foundation (CWDF).
Translated from Equal Opportunity Fund Newsletter July 2009: At the hospital in Busongo, at the primary schools in Pwalugu and Feo-Awisi, and also in the villages themselves, five Naïade water systems are in operation.
Early 2007 a Naiade was installed at a boarding school in Arusha Tanzania. Absence rate due to sickness was reduced with 60%.
The IFFCO Foundation installed 4 Naïade systems to purify water for community use in the state of Punjab, now several years ago. IFFCO confirmed that the units are very cost effective, highly economical and need minimum maintenance. Also the Naïade is easy to operate.
