Process Piloting Simplicity With Asco Numatics Valve Islands

Cabinet mounted ASCO valve islands provide simplified installation and maintenance requirements as part of customised flow control solutions for a range of industries.

Emerson have unveiled a panel mount adaptor plate for the ASCO Numatics 501 Series of pneumatic valve islands, enabling the valve island to be directly mounted to the cabinet.

The ASCO 501 Series valve provides the flow of a 15mm to 20mm valve in a compact 11mm size, addressing customer needs for space savings and simplified construction and assembly.

This enables customers to increase versatility and reduce their component complexity when using installing ASCO valve islands and electronics in restrictive, small spaces, or damp and aggressive environments.

Emerson’s design has the smallest footprint on the market, allowing for assembly possibilities where they would have previously not been possible.

“The ASCO 501 Series panel mount adaptor plate is engineered for “space saving, easy panel construction and assembly.” states  Simon Goodacre , Valve Island Product Specialist for ASCO Numatics UK.

“It eliminates the need for complex tubing routing and bulkhead fittings, reduces custom machining and drilling, and simplifies panel layout.”

ASCO Valve Islands

As with traditional cabinet systems, this ASCO Numatics solution is also highly resistant to corrosion due to cabinets that are constructed from anodised aluminium or AISI 316L stainless steel. This provides high protection and resistance against regular cleaning from harsh chemicals – very common in applications where hygiene is essential.

Designed for easy maintenance, the ASCO valve island systems also include an integrated valve shut off accessory to individually isolate any valve in the circuit, allowing for valve maintenance and replacement without shutting down the entire process.

The mounting plate adaptor allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users to directly connect the 501 Series valve manifold to a panel in the wall or floor of a cabinet. All panel strength, integrity and certifications are maintained.

The panel mount adaptor plate is ideal for applications in the process industries, for example for food and beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging machinery, plus general machine automation.

ATEX Solenoid Valve Islands

ASCO valve islands integrate into industry fieldbus protocols and are suitable for use in hazardous and non-hazardous areas – for more information see ATEX solenoid valves.

ASCO Numatics innovative I/O valve manifolds include a high flow rate and a broad range of fieldbus options – an extensive range of solenoid valve sizes including lightweight and compact designs.

All ASCO electronics modules plug together for easy assembly and field changes, in either centralised or highly distributed, flexible applications. Simple installation and set-up reduce overall costs. Valve islands are offered with the industries widest variety of fieldbus protocols and for hazardous and non hazardous areas as defined by ATEX, the hazardous area directive.

T&D, a leading UK distributor for industrial and hazardous area Gas Detection Equipment, present a Guest Article by Debra Hall, Sales & Marketing Director of Control Instruments Corporation.

Control Instruments Corporation’s mission is to engineer and manufacture high quality solutions to gas detection problems. From simple to complex cases, Control Instruments Corporation ensure safety is a top priority.

In today’s guest post, Debra explains the top 4 reasons to heat industrial and hazardous area process gases.

Heating Industrial & Hazardous Area Process Gases

Industrial processes operate at various temperatures, using a wide variety of different gases, solvents and background constituents (i.e. tars, resins, salts, plasticisers, water vapor, etc). It is important to keep these process gases heated. Would you like to know why?

Read on to learn the top four reasons …

What are Process Gases?

Process gases consist of hazardous gases and solvents that are used in industrial processes. Industrial processes are those operations, which are typically enclosed, heated spaces that require an active sample drawing system.

These have an intentional release of process gases at all times. In fact these processes are often optimized for speed and performance by safely releasing more process gases, not less; as they often operate near legal limits for combustible gas concentrations.

These process gases are seen in production plants (chemical, automotive, painting, printing, pharmaceuticals) as well as used as non-traditional fuels for energy savings and sustainability, such as SYNGAS to turbine engines.

Some examples include,

• Industrial dryers for printing, coating, or laminating that may be designed to operate at solvent concentrations above 25% LFL.
• Or the measurement of process gases going into Amine Treaters for pollution control, where there are not only combustibles, but also toxic sulfides.

This means the precise concentration of process gases must be measured with a level of accuracy for safety, health and energy savings. Since the environment of the process gas stream can be a challenge, it is essential to keep them heated to a temperature above their dew point. The process stream must hence be heated from the sample pickup point all the way to the gas sensing analyzer.

Here are the Top 4 Reasons to Heat Hazardous Area Process Gases

1 – Avoid Condensation

The most common sampling problem is condensation (vapor returning to liquid during sampling). Condensation creates two problems: sample drop-out and clogging. When sample drops out due to condensation, the reading taken by the sensor is lower than actual. And clogging increases downtime and maintenance costs.

The temperature needed to avoid condensation can be found by looking up the Flash Point temperature for each compound in the sample (see table of common gases). The flash point is that temperature at which a solvent produces sufficient vapor to propagate a flame. Generally, the sample must be kept at or above the flash point temperature to remain in the vapor state during sampling.

2 – Ensure Accurate Readings

Keeping all sample-wetted parts of the sampling system and analyzer at the appropriate temperature will ensure that combustible vapors are properly measured with confidence.

• Flammability changes as a function of temperature. Small changes in temperature can have a large effect on the flammability readings. Near the Flash Point of the combustibles, the vapor pressure tends to double for every 10°C rise in temperature. Small changes in temperature can have a large effect.  There could also be sample drop out if the process sample is cooled. Alcohols are water soluble and will blend with any water condensation, giving false low LFL readings.
• Calorific Value Measurements taken on partially dried samples have large errors on their heating values. At atmospheric pressure, saturated water vapor can constitute up to 20% of the mixture’s volume at 60ºC (140ºF), but only 2% at 20ºC (68ºF). If a sample saturated with water vapor is taken at 60ºC and is allowed to cool to 20ºC prior to measurement, 18% of the sample volume turns to liquid, creating false readings than in the true 60ºC mixture

3 – Minimize Unnecessary Maintenance & Downtime

Tars, resins and other sample components can become a maintenance nightmare to the process and/or analyzers if it is allowed to cool. Tars will clog sample ports making them useless. This leads to costly downtime. Resins can cool to an almost glass-like substance. In this case, analyzers may not be able to be cleaned, they must be replaced.

4 – Enjoy Longer Corrosion-Resistance Life

High moisture and humidity can promote corrosion, leading to shorter life of the gas measuring system. Keeping all parts of the sampling system and analyzer properly heated to at least 250ºF (120ºC) prevents condensation of water vapor, which is the main component in causing corrosion.

It is however, very important to consider not only water vapor but also all constituents of the sample, including solvents, poisons, salts, resins, and other high-molecular-weight compounds present in the sample, this can be as high as 250ºC.

Summary

When designing a gas measurement process, it is important to take these four (4) points into consideration, because in no way should the high temperatures of the application impede your process’ operation. Look for a heated analyzer system that:

Has a corrosion-resistant, heated sample delivery train – The heat eliminates condensation and withstands corrosive elements, leaving you with an accurate representation of your process.
