HARTING HARTING Ltd  01604 827500  www.harting.com/UK CHELL IN TRUMENT CHELL INSTRUMENTS  01692 500555  www.chell.co.uk ABB touchscreen paperless recorder gets powerful newfeatures New functions for RVG200 touchscreen paperless data recorder help users to get even more from their process data A


BB has expanded the capabilities of its RVG200 paperless touchscreen addition of new functions providing users with greater flexibility in col


and accessing data.


The RVG200’s simplicity and range of features including high security data storage, easy remote access and scalability, has made it a popular choice in a wide range of applications, from water abstraction and treatment through to heating, cooling and batch recording in food and beverage production.


Amongst the new functions added to the recorder is the ability to create user-customisable views, including plant mimics that can be populated with process values and status. Using a PC tool, users can now create customised views and populate them with bitmap images, text, numeric values and function buttons. Up to seven custom views can be uploaded to a single recorder, with one for each of the RVG200’s six configurable process groups and the seventh as an overview. Together with the existing chart, bar-graph a nd digital indicator views already present in the RVG200, the new customisable view function helps to gives users a much deeper insight into their process data.


For applications where energy consumption needs to be allocated to specific departments or operations, the RVG200 now also offers an optional energy calculation function. Using predefined equations for closed and return-less systems for water, saturated steam and superheated steam, the energy calculation function enables accurate calculation of heat energy in water and steam flows. The calculation can be used to produce mass, power and enthalpy values that can then be trended and totalised as required to produce an accurate overview of energy usage.


As a way of enabling users to achieve a real-time indication of energy use, the energy calculation function is ideal wherever an end user needs to be billed for using a centrally generated supply of steam or hot water. Examples include district cooling and heating and manufacturing processes, as well as monitoring and targeting programmes, where data is used to help identify potential measures for greater energy efficienc y.


Another new feature incorporated into the RVG200 is remote operation, giving users convenient access to their recorded data whenever and wherever they need it. Included as standard, the remote operation function is easy to set up and use, with users able to connect over the internet to an enabled RVG200 via a PC, tablet or smartphone.

iello has donated an RL34 oil burner to the Internal Fire Museum in Cardigan for use in the first of its steam halls. The burner is fitted to a Beel VFB boiler donated by Cochran UK. The Internal Fire Museum was founded in 2003 to cover the history and use of large engines in the 20th Century. Engines are run every day, with at least six engines running all day, and exhibits include the oldest daily working diesel engine in the world. The first of the steam halls, where the Riello burner is in use, was opened in April 2018. The Museum’s Paul Evans commented: “The steam hall has seen a fantastic show of help from companies such as Riello and Cochran. Without the generous assistance of these companies the museum would not have been able to complete the project on schedule.”

Client solution leads to gas meter test rig fofor everyone


hen a client approached Chell Instruments with a specific challenge, our engineering team got straight to work. Using our industry leading expertise and experience, the ideal solution was developed for their gas meter calibration requirements. Now, a version of the Gas Meter Test Rig (GMTR) we created is available from Chell for everyone wishing to test and calibrate


W domestic gas meters, including manufacturers and calibration houses.


The GMTR is a multi-channel bench-top system that allows testing of the functionality, accuracy, stability and leak integrity of up to four domestic gas meters simultaneously. It is compatible with older ‘diaphragm’ type positive displacement meters, as well as the newer ‘smart’ ultrasonic meters.


The device contains high accuracy flow, pressure and temperature instrumentation and can generate any flow set- point up to 12,000 litres per hour, maintaining a l ow outlet pressure to prevent damage to th e gas meters under test .
