New Industrial Product Release Differential Pressure Alarm System

A New Differential Pressure Alarm System With Communications Module Model DPC-4570

DPC-4570 SPECIFICATIONS:

The new SIGMA DP Alarm Panel is ready to satisfy your Differential Pressure monitoring needs. The Differential Pressure (DP) Alarm Panel is a simple, easy to install and configure solution to monitor the pressure drop across a filtration media or other pressure sensitive processes. It is suitable for liquid and gas process systems.

Using our HMI Touch Screen, the user can easily:

Monitor inlet/outlet pressure on a continuously updating display with 0.1 PSI accuracy both locally and remote.

• Dynamically adjust the DP alarm setpoint.
• Monitor the current DP up to 20 PSID. A red LED stack light will turn on when the current DP pressure exceeds the setpoint value. The light can be configured to turn on solid or blink.
• An optional audible alarm module can be added for non-visual indication. Additionally, a “dry” set of relay contacts will close (Ø1, 6A, 250 VAC). These contacts can be used to power ancillary equipment or remotely communicate with other industrial systems.

Why Monitoring Differential Pressure is Crucial in Process Applications:

Safety: Differential pressure measurement can also play a vital role in ensuring the safety of a process. By monitoring pressure differentials, operators can take immediate action to prevent accidents, equipment damage, and potential harm to personnel.

Efficiency: By monitoring differential pressure with the SIGMA DP Alarm Panel, you can assess the efficiency of the fluid process and identify potential issues such as blockages, leaks, or flow restrictions. This information can help optimize the process to ensure that it operates at its maximum efficiency.

Quality Control: In industries where precise control of fluid flow is essential for maintaining product quality, monitoring differential pressure becomes critical. Deviations in pressure can indicate changes in the composition, viscosity, or density of the fluid being processed, which can affect the quality of the end product. Regular monitoring with the SIGMA DP Alarm Panel allows for quick detection and correction of any issues that might compromise product quality.

Process Control: Many industrial processes require precise control of fluid flow rates to achieve desired outcomes. Using the SIGMA DP Alarm Panel, operators can adjust control valves and other equipment to maintain the desired pressure differentials, thus ensuring that the process operates within the specified parameters.

Equipment Health Monitoring: Changes in differential pressure can often signal equipment wear and tear or clogging. By regularly monitoring pressure differentials across filters, heat exchangers, and other components, maintenance teams can schedule preventive maintenance activities, reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and downtime.

Energy Efficiency: In systems where pumps and compressors are used to maintain fluid flow, monitoring differential pressure with the SIGMA DP Alarm Panel can help optimize energy consumption.

Regulatory Compliance: Is your industry subject to strict standards related to process conditions? Differential pressure measurement can provide documentation of compliance by demonstrating that pressure differentials are being maintained within specified ranges.

Troubleshooting: When an issue arises in a process, differential pressure measurement can provide valuable diagnostic information. The SIGMA DP Alarm Panel can detect sudden changes in pressure, which can help operators identify the location and nature of the problem, enabling faster troubleshooting and resolution.

Ag-Tech System Design Tips

Odds are, if you’re exploring technological approaches to an agricultural problem, others are facing the same difficulty. The challenge, however, is turning an answer to that issue into a product or system that works as expected and is practical to produce and implement. Designing and manufacturing a successful Ag-Tech solution can result in improvements in efficiency, productivity, safety, and more. Partnering with an experienced product design and development team throughout the process can help ensure a robust, fully functional, cost-effective product or system that meets or exceeds your requirements and solves a common problem.

Choose the Right Technology

Ag-Tech products embrace the application of new techniques and materials with existing technologies to create innovative approaches to both ongoing and newly identified problems in agricultural environments. Each resulting product will depend on the problem it solves and the available tools, systems, hardware, software, equipment, technology, and implementation environments through which it must work. Many solutions can be grouped into larger categories of technologies, which include the following:

• Biotechnology: Genetic engineering and traditional techniques to modify crop and livestock breeding and growth
• Software, Robotics, and Mechanization: Data gathering, farm management, drones, automation, and other processes for gathering and using data and utilizing computerized systems for agricultural purposes
• Bioenergy, Biomaterials, and New Approaches to Farming: Biomass operations, cannabis production, aquaculture, and non-traditional product farming
• Supply Chain and Marketplace Innovations: Food processing, transport, and logistics improvements, purchasing, selling, and trading opportunities, and online activities

Concept Stage: Preliminary Investigation

Understanding the product development process can help ensure better designs, reduced costs, and more satisfaction throughout the process and with the final results. Our contribution to the Ag-Tech process begins with your idea. Whether you have a full-fledged design, a rough sketch, a verbal description, or some combination of those, we will work with you to render a 3D model of it. This visualization of your concept offers opportunities to explore such aspects as:

• Feasibility: Addressing such concerns as whether the concept is workable, what materials and fabrication techniques are needed, and whether its production is cost-effective.
• Suitability: Investigating whether a product is a reasonable solution to the problem it is designed to solve.
• Quality and Functionality: Checking whether the product or system will work as intended, and what modifications or additional features might add value and capabilities

Based on this information, we can determine preliminary manufacturing costs for your product. We then present the 3D modeling, material selection, cost information, and manufacturing details to you for review.

Technical Feasibility Stage

Any time a concept is brought to life, a variety of challenges and obstacles exist between that idea and its actualization. We work closely with you from idea through delivery to overcome such concerns as:

• Design modifications
• Added, adjusted, or eliminated functionality
• Compliance with health, safety, and industry requirements and regulations
• Costs of materials
• Costs of manufacturing, including labor and assembly
• Delivery and logistics concerns
• Market forecasting
• Setting manufacturing production schedules to meet your needs

Manufacturing Stage

Upon approval, your Ag-Tech product enters the manufacturing phase which includes production, inspection, testing, and monitoring to ensure your design’s approved standards of quality and functionality are met. Once your manufactured products meet your specific design requirements, they undergo a final inspection and any accompanying materials, such as warranties, manuals, and other documentation are finalized. At last, these materials and your finished products are delivered or distributed to you.

From your initial contact with us through final delivery, our goals are always to communicate clearly and collaborate fully with you during the entire process. This way, we ensure our processes and procedures fulfill your product objectives.
