Vortex FP control panels monitor gas detectors in Zone 1 hazardous areas
Compact model now available for tight spaces where other flameproof panels may not fit
C
rowcon’s new Vortex FP Compact control panel increases the flexibility of its flameproof product range.
Like the existing
Vortex FP, the FP Compact is specifically designed to monitor toxic and flammable gas detectors or fire detectors where there is a need for the control system to be installed in Atex Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas. Its more compact size, however, means it is particularly suited to confined spaces such as analyser shelters in refineries,
offshore rigs or FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) installations. contracts and full training
• The amount applied is determined by a combination of (1) air pressure, (2) dispense time and (3) tip size.
• To make identical dots or fill cavities with consistent volumes of material, the user adjusts air pressure to achieve the desired flow rate and then sets deposit size with the digital timer.
• For fluids that change viscosity, the Ultimus V high-precision dispenser can store and automatically adjust dispensing settings to keep the amount of fluid applied constant. • Can be mounted on robot to automate the process.
Main features of the Ultimus V are:
• Auto Increment mode adjusts dispensing parameters after a certain number of shots or a specific lapsed time
• 400 individual memory storage cells • Steady, Timed and Teach modes • Multi-level operator lockout • End of Cycle Feedback loop • External PC interface for data input • Display cycle counter

Which is Best, Ceramic or Seamless Flooring? B

Vortex FP control panels monitor gas detectors in Zone 1 hazardous areas
All day-to-day operations on either model can be performed without having to open the panel’s enclosure: gas levels, alarms and faults are viewed at a glance through a window and all system functions are accessed either via but- tons or a ‘Crowmag’ magnetic key (supplied). This means the whole system can be checked at a glance without a ‘hot work’ permit being required, which in turn means adjacent areas can remain online, saving time and money. The standard Vortex FP contains up to 24 relays and can monitor up to 12 gas/fire detectors, while the FP Compact contains up to 16 relays and can also monitor up to 12 detectors. Rated IP66 for dust and water ingress, both models meet all the latest gas detection legislation and EMC standards and is validated to the IEC 61508 (SIL 1) functional safety standard. The control panel is also highly configurable: it can be factory-set according to end-user requirements or altered at any time by a PC using the software provided. Adjustments can also be made in-situ without the need for additional equipment. All relays are monitored continuously, ensuring the integrity of the entire control system. Modbus capability also allows two-wire linkage between the panel and the control room, saving on a potentially large number of costly cable linkages. In areas where explosive or toxic gases are a real and imminent danger, both the Vortex FP and the Vortex FP Compact allow workers to perform their jobs more efficiently without compromising their safety.

Advertorial
oth ceramic and seamless resin flooring are used extensively in the Food Industry, but which is
best? Kemtile offer both and so can advise you impartially. Where existing floors have the correct falls to drains, then Kemtile would recommend using
Ucrete seamless resin flooring. If the existing floor is flat, then they would recommend Argelith ceramic flooring, as falls can be incorporated into the work. Kemtile can supply stainless steel drains and install Protectorseal – a seamless coating for walls and ceilings. Kemtile will provide you with information and offer their expertise to help you make the decision.

Storage Tank vent breathers protect sensitive fluids
B
rownell has extended its range of storage tank vent breathers and adsorbers to prevent the contamination of valuable products from the harmful effects of moisture. Installation of these breathers has been made quick and simple, with a direct connection to an existing breather or vent pipe. This ensures that any incoming moisture vapour is removed before entering the tank. The effects of air transfer will lead to a dry gas blanket over the stored product. A removable adsorbent container allows the unit’s desiccant material to be changed without breaking the breather pipe connection. Furthermore, a distinctive change in the desiccant’s colour signals when it is saturated and needs to be replaced or reactivated. The colour change is from bright orange to a distinctive dark green. Stored products characteristics can be adversely changed by an increase in moisture content. These effects can include:
