7 Steps to a Virtually Leak-Free Compressed Air System with Optimum Profitability

Compressed air leaks are like little holes in your wallet, slowly draining your hard-earned money. Although common in compressed air systems, these leaks often go unnoticed in industrial environments. This translates into significant financial losses, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of euros per year. The good news is that detecting and remedying these leaks can be easy, straightforward, and cost-effective. By following a systematic step-by-step plan, you can easily identify and repair compressed air leaks, saving up to 30% of your compressed air installation’s total energy consumption. The cost of repairing air leaks can even be fully recouped [...]

Pressure sensor: stainless steel with RS485 Modbus RTU

The industrial pressure transmitter DCT 541 was especially developed for hydrogen applications and can also be used with other technical gases (e. g. oxygen) and uses the communication protocol Modbus RTU which has found the way in industrial communication as an open protocol. The Modbus protocol is based on a master slave architecture with which up to 247 slaves can be requested by a master. For hydrogen applications, it is important to use a material that minimizes or prevents hydrogen embrittlement due to its chemical properties. For oxygen applications, the special cleaning and manufacturing process ensures that residual particles and [...]

New level probe DCL 532 with i2C interface

BD SENSORS is presenting a new level probe with a stainless-steel sensor in a proven, high-quality design. The special feature of this probe is an i2C interface that the device uses to communicate digitally with higher-level systems. In recent years, the summer months in Europe have been impacted by extreme weather conditions and depleting groundwater volumes. To respond to this more purposefully, the number of monitoring networks for measuring levels of ground and surface water has increased constantly. It’s precisely for these applications that BD|SENSORS is presenting a new, low-power level probe that offers proven technical features as well as [...]

Equipped for the energy revolution: DMP 336 pressure transmitter for hydrogen and technical gases

With the DMP 336 pressure transmitter, BD|SENSORS is expanding its range of industrial pressure transmitters with a version that is used for measuring the pressure of hydrogen and technical gases. As an energy carrier of the future, hydrogen - and particularly “green hydrogen” which is obtained from renewable energies - is currently taking on a key role in shaping the energy revolution, both in political and economic terms. These storable gases can be used in many different fields of application, ranging from power and heat generation to powering ships, trains, lorries and aircraft, right up to use as fuel and [...]

Compressed air monitoring

Efficiency, quality and safety are essential when it comes to a compressed air system. In order to keep your system that way (or make it even more efficient and safe) monitoring is a must. To avoid unnecessary costs, energy management is required and this is a continuous process. Overtime your production process changes, maintenance issues can occur, new leakages can come to live and more. Therefore, to maximize your energy savings, permanent monitoring is key. An air audit is a great way to uncover your savings potential and based upon its results, great improvements can be made to your compressed [...]

Sensors with ATEX certification and SIL2/PLd certificate

Don't go airborne, but better safe than sorry if your application or its environment is at risk of explosion. TWK introduces a new safety encoder for explosion protection according to ATEX, Zone 1 / 21. Additionally, with certificate for functional safety SIL2 / Performance Level d. There are many different applications. Simple and complex. Inexpensive and expensive. Non-hazardous and hazardous. Some of them are even explosive. The medium-sized company TWK has suitable sensor technology for almost all areas of application to convert mechanical into electrical measured variables or into electronic data. The basic principle is: Safety first. In the context [...]

EU renewable energy roadmap will boost the need for online monitoring of siloxanes in biogas

European Union regulation will substantially increase the use of renewable energy as a source for heat and energy production. Furthermore, the EU requires Member States to significantly increase the use of biogas in the transport sector, from a share of 0.2% in 2022 to 3.5% in 2030. To increase the use of biogas and biomethane has created a need to ensure gas quality by measuring impurities such as siloxanes, ammonia, halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride. For this purpose, Important standardization work has been carried out and two separate Standards (EN 16723-1:2016 and EN 16723-2:2017/2018) now establish maximum allowed levels of [...]
