ANALYZER SAMPLER SYSTEMS
Many customers use the Innova-Switch to confirm that they have flow to their analyzers from the sample systems to ensure the analyzers are receiving a representative sample of what is in the process line. If the flow to an analyzer is interrupted, then the analyzer is sending data to the control system that is not likely to be representative of what is actually in the process lines.
This can cause many problems like manufacturing off spec product, making chemical additions that could cause damage to equipment or people.
EYE WASH
Often our customers want to notify others when a safety shower or eyewash station is activated. It may be extremely important to get someone to the location to assist the individual. Notifying others of the problem may prevent additional injuries and reduce or prevent fines because of a spill.
HEAT EXCHANGERS
Customers monitor the flow of heat transfer fluids such as Dow-Therm with Innova switches. The high temperature makes this application extremely difficult for other technologies. The Innova switch high temperature version is at home in harsh environments such as this. Our level switches are also used to monitor the fluid level in Dow-Therm boilers thus preventing burnout.
RUPTURED DISKS & PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE MONITOR
Because of the reliability and durability of Innova switches they are ideal for these applications whether for gas or liquid service. Frequently a switch is mounted just over a rupture disk or pressure relief valve. By doing this the switch will alarm on the slightest leak notifying everyone in many cases before a full release occurs. When working with liquids it is often best to set it up as a level switch, this allows the switch to indicate a leak as soon as the liquid comes in contact with the sensor. In gas applications, it is often best to use a flow switch. With the Innova switches capability to indicate gas flows all the way down to .1 feet per second, the smallest leak may be detected.
