Measurement technology

The new device is not only easy to service, but also minimizes downtime. The pre-calibrated sensor unit makes it easy for the customer to replace it on site, eliminating the need to send the entire device back for recalibration.

FOR MAXIMUM PROCESS RELIABILITY

The OIL CHECK 500 monitors all functions and components internally. The service software can be used to create comprehensive function test reports to ensure that the device is always working perfectly.

ON-SITE CALIBRATION

Thanks to the on-site calibration option with test gas cylinders, the OIL CHECK 500 offers flexibility for mobile measurement. The service software enables the creation of verification and calibration reports (as-found data and as-left data) to ensure that measurements always meet the highest quality standards.

COMPACT DESIGN

Thanks to its compact design, paired with easy sampling, the OIL CHECK 500 is the ideal solution for fast and precise measurements in various environments.

The FO 510, developed by CS Instruments, is an extremely precise and stable sensor, specifically designed for the precise measurement of water activity (aw) and oil temperature (t) in lubricating, hydraulic and transformer oil as well as diesel fuel. The recorded data is transmitted via two 4-20 mA outputs and the Modbus RTU interface. The optional service software allows the user to additionally customize the oil sensor, make Modbus settings and determine the initial configuration.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Measured variables: water activity (aw), temperature (t) and water content in ppm (x) (possible for transformer oils)
• Fast reaction time
• Can operate up to 100 °C oil temperature
• Pressure-resistant up to 300 bar
• Zwei analoge Ausgänge
• Digital Modbus RTU interface
• ISO G1/2″ or 1/2″ NPT thread connection

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

• Energy saving potentials become transparent and can be implemented in a targeted manner
• The exact determination of the actual conditions leads to the full exploitation of energy saving potentials
• Ensuring participation in KAESER further developments in hardware and software

• Measurement of the pressure dew point immediately after compressed air preparation or in the compressed air network acording to ISO 8573-3
• Pressure dew point measurement is carried out on site, evaluated and documented
• Pressure dew point measurement from -80 °C to +50 °C
• Prerequisite at the measuring point: Quick coupling, measuring point free of liquid condensate
• Measurement is carried out with calibrated electronic measuring instruments that are subjected to annual calibration

• Hydrocarbons transported by compressors (oil-free and oil-cooled) – in the form of liquids, aerosols or steam – enter compressed air lines
• The origin of the contamination is, for example, improperly maintained compressed air generators or concentrated oil-like hydrocarbons from the environment.
• Other sources of contamination can be piping systems or compressed air reservoirs
• Hydrocarbons show up in compressed air systems as aerosol or vapour impurities in the compressed air
• Standard-compliant determination of aerosol and vapour content for the determination of the total hydrocarbon content and thus the classification of the compressed air quality class
• Standardised sampling fitting for isokinetic sampling
• Analysis of the samples taken – both for the hydrocarbon aerosol and for the vapour content – is carried out by an accredited laboratory
• Individual evaluation of the vapour sample enables identification of all hydrocarbons contained in the sample

• The origin of particles in compressed air is usually in the ambient air drawn in by the compressor and the dust it contains.
• Particles can also originate from abrasion or residues and corrosion products from the compressed air system
• When mesuring particles of media from the pressure lines, the selection of the sampling location, the method of pressure relief and the selection of the specific measuring technique are decisive in particular
• Particle measurement is strictly oriented to the descriptive standard ISO 8573-4 with regard to measurement methods, equipment and documentation.
• The compressed air is taken in a completely relaxed state and fed to the particle counter without affecting the particle spectrum.

• Quick and easy determination of your leakage as well as the savings potential
• Smallest leakage detectable even at great distances
• Image documentation of your leaks
• Paperless documentation through on-site entry in the unit: definition of the location of the leakage, corresponding remedial measures and spare parts
• Creation of a report according to ISO 50001
• Multi-user capable due to Cloud Solution

EXAMPLE CALCULATION FOR A MEDIUM-SIZED COMPANY

Approx. 25 % of the compressed air is lost due to leakage

Installed compressor capacity 150 kW (el) x 6,000 Bh x 0.12 € / kWh

Annual electricity costs 180,000 €

25 % leakage costs: € 27,000 per year!

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR REQUIREMENTS

Your new compressed air station must be as individual as your requirements as an operator. That’s why we listen and look very closely and ask the right questions. Our diverse industry knowledge help us to do this – regardless of whether you manufacture jewellery or semiconductors, operate a cement plant, a car factory or a brewery. Together with you, we record all the necessary production parameters and framework conditions. This includes, for example:

• Air quality
• existing components
• Installation site

THE INDIVIDUAL COMPRESSED AIR STATION

Based on our evaluation, the FILCOM team will map out a way for you to significantly increase the efficiency of your compressed air station and maintain it for the future. You will benefit in the long term through savings that can only be achieved by taking a system approach. Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art compressor management from KAESER Kompressoren SE, electricity and compressed air costs are transparent and your reliability is always in view thanks to browser access. The control sytem also actively sends an energy report when required.

ANALYSIS OF COMPRESSED AIR UTILISATION

The analysis is the core. Here, we use a wide variety of measurement technology that is needs-oriented, customer-specificand independent of manufacturers, depending only on the application. Sometimes the combination of different measuring systems makes the difference to success.

• Flow measurement air
• Current consumption
• Temperatures
• Ultrasonic measurements
• Speed measurements

In most cases, it is necessary to record several sensors and evaluate them later. In this way, we identify weak points and uncover unused potential, which we then present to you in a personal meeting.

COMMISSIONING & MAINTENANCE

After successful commissioning, we take over the maintenance of your systems and thus ensure a highly efficient compressed air station throughout its entire service life.

With our comprehensive stock of spare parts and rental machinery, combined with our emergency service, short response times are guaranteed.

THE EVALUATION OF THE DATA OBTAINED

For this purpose, we use the most modern evaluation software to guarantee high quality data. In order to obtain an economic solution that works close to the optimum under all conditions, several concepts must be compared. The gradiations between several compressors must be considered just as much as the entire downstream processing. The pressure losses up to the last consumer are significantly relevant.
