20.01.2022 Intelligent Sump Oil Level Measurement with the Honsberg LCC1 The LCC1 capacitive level transmitter from PCS is designed to give analogue and switched outputs of oil level in machine sumps. Because the LCC1 level transmitter has a reference structure at the end of the sensor it can detect different oils with different viscosities at different temperatures without the need for recalibration. A programmable filter calculates average level over time, giving a stable damped outp...ut when the oil level is fluctuating. Analogue output is either 0-10V DC or 4-20mA. Switched output is push-pull type, 100mA maximum. Switch point is set with a special magnetic clip supplied with the level transmitter. The switched output can also be specified as a frequency output with frequency being proportional to level. The LCC1 level transmitter also has an integral temperature monitoring function. Two versions are available, a straight type and an angled "bracket" type. Typical applications: Compressors Hydraulic Power Units Generators Stationary Engines Waste oil facilities See more
14.01.2022 Flex-F Calorimetric Flow Transmitter The Flex-F calorimetric flow transmitter from Honsberg uses calorimetry to determine liquid flow rate. Calorimetric flow measurement utilises two temperature sensors both in good thermal contact with the liquid under measurement and both well thermally insulated from each other. One sensor is heated so as to maintain a constant temperature differential between it and the unheated sensor. The energy required to maintain this temperature dif...ferential is proportional to the flow rate of the liquid being measured. The Flex-F flow transmitter is a rugged device with no moving parts in contact with the flow media and very low pressure loss. It can also be used as a temperature transmitter and as a temperature or flow switch. Its compact dimensions allow installation on small diameter pipes. A range of process connections are available including a food grade flange. The analogue output can be 4-20mA or 0-10V DC. Available switching outputs are PNP, NPN and NPN open collector. The switching output may also be configured as a frequency output proportional to flow. The Flex-F is ideal for most water and oil flow applications. See more
05.01.2022 Practical Control Solutions presents the Honsberg NW3 level switches. Honsberg NW3 level switches are float level switches that utilise a magnetically actuated reed switch with a switching capacity of 1A at 230 VAC. The NW3 level switch is available in a stainless steel body and float version, or a brass body with Spansil float. The process connection has a BSPM process connection.
04.01.2022 Two Phase Control of Three Phase Heating Loads with Thyristor (SCR) Power Controllers An economical means of switching three phase heating loads is to switch two phases only. This is possible on delta or floating star (no neutral) loads with constant resistance heaters. This method of switching works due to the fact that if two phases are switched off then the third phase has no return conduction path. This type of two phase switching can only be used with burst cycle or on /... off firing of the thyristors. Phase angle firing cannot be used with this method. There are two main benefits of using two phase switching to control a three phase load. One is reduced cost because there is one less thyristor module in the circuit. The other is that the thyristor power controller dissipates less heat because there are only two thyristor modules in the circuit rather than three. The reduced heat dissipation minimises enclosure fan cooling requirements and allows the control panel to run cooler, maximising the life of the power electronics. CD Automation provide a wide range of two phase switching thyristor power controller assemblies from 30 amps per phase with the REVO-S and REVO-M series right up to 2700 amps per phase with the MULTIDRIVE 2 PH controller.
