New WTX120 makes the most out of your measurement chain
H AxFlow
introduces compressor Vapour Recovery System for tank emptying
emptying liquefied gas from storage tanks, vessels and mobile tankers. Unlike pumps, which can only unload around 85% of the liquefied gas, the compressor system will easily transfer over 99% thereby enabling users to recover this potentially expensive liquid heel. The compressor system also eliminates the problem of liquefied gases boiling when centrifugal pumps are used. AxFlow’s VRS is a simple frame-mounted unit which can be used for intermittent and continuous duties. Available in mobile and static formats, the VRS is divided into two stages, liquid transfer and vapour recovery. The function of the compressor is to push the
A
liquid from inside the tanker into the storage vessel using pressurised vapour from the storage vessel. Following this, the compressor connections are reversed using a 4-way valve to suck out any remaining vapour in the tanker and transfer it to the storage vessel.

Smart products and services I
headline in ABB’s biggest ever UK product guide
oT-enabled drives, motors and controls together with application-specific packages feature in ABB’s new 120-page guide. Smart sensors, apps and services that enable users of motors, variable
speed drives (VSDs) and controls to tap into the opportunities offered by the Internet of Things (IoT) headline in ABB’s 2017 catalogue. These include the world’s first affordable sensor for tracking the
performance of low voltage (LV) motors. The ABB smart sensor for LV motors is simply attached, without wiring, to the frame and monitors key parameters such as temperature and vibration. The data is drawn into a central cloud-based dashboard to provide maintenance crews with a real-
time view of key performance indicators, showing which motors need servicing and when. Advanced apps for VSDs that provide access to cloud-based services and information throughout the
product’s life cycle are also featured. The Drivetune app enables service engineers to commission and tune the performance of VSDs via wireless Bluetooth connection.
