The chiller control panel lets building staff take command of the chiller plant to maximize energy savings with a comprehensive system components optimization through control algorithms. Building operating staff can report and gain insights into the operating patterns, energy use, and system performance to make their already efficient Trane CenTraVac chiller plant even more energy and cost conscious. The AdaptiView offers open protocol flexibility, including BACnet, Modbus RTU, or LonTalk with no gateways. An ergonomic arm allows the operator to view any height or angle, regardless of location of where the chiller plant may be located. www.trane.com #1 Data logging via Internet Provide energy managers and facility managers with instant access to energy and HVAC/R systems data anywhere, anytime via the Internet. The HOBO remote monitoring system from Onset Computer Corp. combines data logging hardware with built-in GSM cellular communications for a Web-enabled software platform. System advantages include fast deployment, industrial-grade dependability, and a full suite of sensors. The system’s powerful alarm capabilities enable users to setup alarm conditions for any connected sensors and receive automatic notification via e-mail or mobile text messages. www.onsetcomp.com #2 Pressure sensor Reduce installation costs and the number of stocked units with the PXU pressure sensor from Veris Industries. The model is a marriage of duct and panel dry media pressure sensors. It features seven field-selectable ranges, covering a wide span of 0 to 10 in. WC. Also, jumpers configure operational modes for fast or slow response. The model is based on a microprocessor profiled for improved accuracy and reliability. it produces highly stable linear output, reducing errors compared to conventional sensors. www.veris.com #3 Reverse-helix flow meter Reduce debris and sand typically associated with flow measurement in surface and water well applications with the Model MO300SW Reverse-Helix Flow Meter from McCrometer. The flow meter increases measurement accuracy, reduces maintenance requirements, and lowers total operating costs. The meter’s reverse-helix design propeller comes in a bolt-on saddle configuration that is suitable for use in line sizes ranging from 4 to 12 in. The reverse-helix propeller is installed nose-first on the bearing shaft and uses the reverse flow style bearing assembly. This unique construction allows the ell to curve with the flow, shedding grass, sand, or silt with increased operational reliability and longer life. The meter’s stainless steel saddle eliminates fatigue-related breakage and provides corrosion resistance. The reverse-helix impellers are designed with high-impact polypropylene plastic that withstands temperatures to 160 F and is available for water or water heated applications. www.mccrometer.com #4 68 Consulting-Specifying Engineer • MAY 2008 http://csemag.com/quickResponse http://csemag.com/quickResponse http://www.trane.com http://www.veris.com http://www.onsetcomp.com http://www.mccrometer.com
