The HBLC microprocessor-based sensor from HB Products has been installed in a 400 kW chiller at Novozymes. The Danish manufacturer of liquid level transmitters and switches also offers an electronic level control sensor with cost saving potential.
When designing a new refrigeration system to be installed in the premises of a leading Biotech company in Denmark, DanARCTICA, a Danish refrigeration system manufacturer decided to use a HBLC Liquid level control sensor.
For the manufacturer, the low-pressure level control from HB Products presents the advantages to be more reliable than a mechanical float valve station traditionally used for controlling the level in chillers because of a better resilience. It is also cheaper to install because it requires less piping and less space.
HBLC microprocessor-based liquid sensor
The HBLC level control is an innovative solution that consists of a microprocessor-based sensor with an in-built control loop for the feed valve.
The HBLC sensor communicates directly with the motorised valve and thus requires only one supply connection for the sensor. Both the sensor and the valve can be configured for specific applications. The sensor is easy to set up for technicians who only need a simple PC-based software tool.
Compared to the traditional float valve solution, without visual indication. The HB sensor has 3 LEDs built into the front, with indicators for power, regulation and alarm. A special feature is the fact that the alarm signal can be transferred to the main control system via the sensor’s supply wire.
Lower installations costs and service-friendly design
HBLC’s physical design, combined with the valve, is smaller than traditional solutions resulting in a significant cost saving: “The HBLC solution means cost savings of at least 15 %” according to Flemming C. Larsen from DanARCTICA.
HB Products also makes life easier for the technicians thanks to a unique split design where the electronics can be removed without the technician having to shut down the system.
The control loop parameters can easily be configured ensuring a stable and precise regulation. This added feature means not only that system operations are optimised but it also ensures that the system uses less energy.
Reactions
The system, a 400 kW chiller refrigeration system has been operating since July 2011 and the customer, Novozymes, seems very satisfied:
“Until now the technology has met our expectations completely,” says chemical engineer Alex Lundgaard, who is responsible for the daily operation of a new refrigeration system.
