TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Reduce operating costs for pumps & associated process equipment
he performance and reliability of ‘O’ ring sealing systems within process plants can prove to be critical when examining overall plant costs. This becomes evident where the process fluids are aggressive,
T or
other measurement parameters, ensuring more effective monitoring of energy consumption. The 750-49x modules (part of the fieldbus- independent WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 range) transmit metrics including reactive/apparent/effective power, energy consumption, power factor, phase angle, frequency, module.

over-/under-voltage directly into the This eliminates the need for external
measuring equipment, reducing measurement costs nearly ten-fold.
Besides energy consumption
measurement and harmonic analysis, the modules also feature additional functions for comprehensive grid analysis, allowing grid disturbances to be localised (e.g., interference spikes). Insulation faults can also be detected using measurement in the N- conductor. The 4-quadrant display indicates the type of load (inductive, capacitive) and whether it is an energy consumer or producer.

AGO's new 3-phase power measurement modules provide
voltage, current and many
otherwise dangerous to personnel safety, and environmental concerns become involved in the event of process fluid leakage due to seal failures. Conventional elastomer seals which have proved to last the lifetime of
process equipment, or provide
leak-free operation between programmed maintenance break-outs may have established their suitability. However, sealing products that exhibit regular failures, necessitating costly equipment stripdowns, loss of productivity, together with leakage and clean-up procedures should have the costs for the above procedures factored in when considering the overall costs of seal replacements. The DuPont™ Kalrez® range of perfluoroelastomer seals, available in the UK from Dichtomatik Ltd, can show worthwhile long-term savings by extending the MTBF times and so minimising any associated labour and downtime losses.
It is important that the true cost of system failures include all the additional associated costs involved with equipment dismantling and re-assembly, downtime and loss of production. This should also include possible clean-up where aggressive chemicals are involved as well as the straightforward costs involved in replacing the sealing products (typically ‘O’ rings).
The DuPont™ Kalrez® products are supported with a worldwide network of authorised distributors including global technical support and testing. Customer tailored selections are available with standard ‘O’ rings available in AS-568 and JIS sizes as well as customised ‘O’ rings in various cross sections and diameters. These are complemented with customised valve seats, diaphragms, gaskets, packer seals, T seals, column fittings, custom shapes and the Kalrez® KVSP™ valve stem packing system.

How critical is power continuity to your business? Why do you need to think about power continuity?
V
ast numbers of business owners and managers do not know they have a power continuity problem. When you turn the lights on they work, don’t they? But what happens if you have a power cut? The lights may be the least of your worries.
The impact of a power cut is entirely dependent on the nature of your business or service. For hospitals and care homes the financial impact is not the main priority, protecting the lives of patient dependant on life support machine or ventilators is critical. For businesses such as Data Centres loss of power, even for a second, can have huge consequences on the infrastructure it protects.
The bearing of a power cut on banks and financial institutions could impact economies globally.
For these types of businesses power continuity is a high priority, the risk is managed and protected. But what about companies with less obvious risk?

The very compact unit is integrated by means of a G¼ thread and uses a type K thermocouple to register temperatures.
The TGM 025-03 sensor is operated with EGE’s TKM amplifier, but can also be connected to any other standard amplifier for type K thermocouples.
