Overview Safety, reliability, availability and economy have always enjoyed top priority in boiler operation . To an increasing extent, another aspect is being added for the plant operators: process automation and visualization . To meet these stringent requirements, GESTRA AG has – for more than five decades now – been working exclusively with electrode systems that are low in maintenance and wear; in contrast to other systems, they function entirely without moving parts, which leads to high service lifetimes and very low failure rates . By now, these GESTRA electrode systems are being applied...

The Benefits SPECTORmodule Touch The SPECTORmodule Touch version focuses on the essentials: the main functions and a clear, intuitive user interface. With this series, the controller was separated from the operating unit, which means that the laborious wiring for sensors, feedback, limits, valve actuation etc. in the control cabinet door is no longer required. Universal controllers generally entail a large number of parameter settings, making the operating workflow and the setting of parameters more difficult. In the development of the SPECTORmodule Touch series, clear and easily understandable...

Technical Information a Low-Level Limiter (LW) up to PN 320 The limiters consist of a combination of level electrode and level switch. In general, a distinction must be made between units of “conventional design” and those of “high-integrity design” (i.e. with self-monitoring). The corresponding applications for the units are defined in the technical rules and depend mainly on the hazard potential of the plant. A basis for these considerations can be the maximum allowable operating pressure (TRD 701: 1 bar; PED: 0.5 bar) or the boiler water content (TRD 802). For areas covered by these rules...

Technical Information c High-Level Alarm (HW) GESTRAbus The right system for every application. For the high-level alarm, there are also various systems available whose area of application is primarily determined not by the technical literature but by the downstream consumers of the steam. Of the diverse standards, only the TRD 604 (72 h operation) poses the re­ uirement that the q high-level alarm must be a unit separate from the controller and limiter. In the other codes, including EN, this requirement is not expressed. The units of “conventional design” are especially applied wherever no direct...
