VACUUM CENTER

BENEFIT

• Best suited to the application, especially where moderate to heavy water loads are anticipated, or where water loads contain detergents.

• Can continue to produce a working vacuum even if storage tanks become saturated and are overflowing into pump suction lines.

• Can digest a reasonable amount of debris without affecting performance.

• High volumetric capacity at vacuum pressures greater than 22” Hg.

• Higher lift capability.

• Complete flexibility in case defrost scheduling.

• Low noise.

• Very low maintenance.

Note: Dry vane pumps are available for condensate only applications.

• Smooth interior surface minimizes areas where collected debris can produce bacteria and generate foul odors.

• Suitable for collection of higher temperature liquids.

• Suitable for operation on system with higher vacuums (24” Hg and above).

• Continuous monitoring of actual vacuum pressure; useful for accurate pump staging, minimizing pump runtimes, and trouble shooting.

• More stable over time; less maintenance and fewer calibration procedures.

• More informative than indicating lights alone.

• Allows local adjustment of system setpoints.

• Allows local access to historical data.

• Allows access to alarm information.

• Allows store operations and maintenance personnel to easily identify equipment status and conditions that can affect system operation.

• System prevents simultaneous discharge of both tanks under any circumstances.

• System controls interval between tank 1 and tank 2 discharges, to minimize the impact of vacuum pressure changes during discharge cycles.

• Back up control strategy allows system to continue operation in the event that any part of the tank level sensing equipment becomes compromised.

• Delays system start until source of power is stabilized.

• Allows quantity of pumps that can operate under emergency power conditions to be field selected.

• Runs selected quantity of pumps continuously when on Emergency power to minimize impact on generating equipment.

• Reduced utility consumption.

• Reduced pump maintenance and increased pump longevity.

• Allows simple method to increase capacity of system to accommodate expansion of store and/or type of loads connected.

• Helpful in minimizing impact of vacuum pumps on emergency power generating equipment.

• Allows Vac Center to dial an external service center or individual if an alarm persists without local acknowledgment.

• Allows service personnel to dial into the system to determine the nature of the alarm condition and take appropriate action prior to arrival at the facility if possible.

• Allows historical data to be collected from a remote location.

• Alternative method for communicating with the system remotely.

• Improves accuracy of historical data recording.

• Allows exact status of tanks to be monitored continuously.

• Allows actual amperage of each pump to be monitored continuously. Useful for detecting a number of pump ailments.

• Allows the actual power consumption of the pumps to be monitored continuously. Provides an improved view of pump health.

• Allows improved display of Vac Center operating characteristics including setpoint descriptions, alarm history, and presentation of historical data.

• Allows vacuum pressure (and other analog signals) to be graphed over time.  Useful for trouble shooting.

• Basic Operating Manual for Vac Center included on display screens.

• Complete graphical representation of the system.

• Automatic report generation.

• Extended historical data capture, recording, and analysis.

• Extended alarm history and management.

• Full operating manual accessible.

• Multiple workstation capability.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLER

BENEFIT

• Allows easy installation in confined spaces.

• Reduces visibility or need for complex facades to disguise its installation.

• No electrical service or trades required.

• Reduces installation and commissioning time

• Allows service personnel easy method to activate unit for test or diagnostic purposes.

• Allows easy modification of factory calibration settings to accommodate unique project conditions.

• Can be installed in any position without affecting performance.

EXTRACTION VALVE

BENEFIT

• Accommodates majority of vacuum plumbing applications.

• Can be used as source for controller/extraction valve.

• Can be used to monitor vacuum pressure in system for trouble shooting.

• Minimizes vacuum piping system penetrations and fittings.

• No electrical service or trades required.

• Insures minimum obstruction to material entering system.

• Eliminates mechanical interference on rolling diaphragm promoting trouble free operation.

BENEFIT

• Accommodates majority of vacuum plumbing applications.

• Facilitates trouble-shooting if material enters piping network that may prevent a check valve from closing.

• Can be used as source for controller/extraction valve.

• Can be used to monitor vacuum pressure in system for trouble shooting.

• Minimizes vacuum piping system penetrations and fittings.
