Application area

DS 400 mobile V1.29 Seite 8 von 109

2 Application area

Our long-term hands-on experience in measurement and control technology was implemented in the new DS 400.

From recording of the measured data, automatic sensor identification, indication on a big colour screen, alerting, storage up to remote read-out via web server, all that is possible with DS 400. By means of the CS-Soft, software alarms can be sent via SMS or e-mail.

On the big 3.5' colour screen with touch panel all information is available at a glance. The operation is very easy. All measured values, measured curves and threshold exceeding’s are indicated. The progression of the curve, since the beginning of the measurement, can be viewed by an easy slide of the finger.

The huge difference to ordinary paperless chart recorders reveals in the easy initiation as well as in the evaluation of the measured data. All sensors are identified directly and powered by DS 400. Everything is matched and tuned.

V1a = (A1c – A2a) * 4.6

Then define the unit and confirm it with the button OK .

With the buttons ß and Clr it is possible to correct the input.

Button ß deletes the last figure Button Clr clears the whole field

9.3.8.6 Calculation Example „Specific Performance“

As an example we assume a compressor system with 3 single compressors. The consumption measurements are done with consumption sensors VA400 at the inputs A1 – B1 &

and an electric meter at input B2.

VA400 [m³]

Energy

counter

KWh

Calculated are the complete consumption of air and energy as well as the "specific performance" of the entire system .

Selection and Input of the operands and operations see chapter 9.3.8.4.2 and chapter 9.3.8.4.3.

Result in V1a is the sum of consumption sensor

A1 + A2 + B1 see range “result”.

For this example it is 66090,2 m³

Result in V1b is the energy consumption read out from the energy counter.

V1a à complete Air consumption V1b à energy consumption

Calculation of the specific. Perfor. Is done in

V1c with V1c = V1b / V1a

For this example, it is 0,072 KWh/m³ Calculation of energy cost complete in V1d with

V1d = V1b * 0.21. For this example it is 991,36 €

Energy cost per m³ produced air is done in V1e with V1e = V1c * 0.21
