The Mystery of the Delphi: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

June 15, 2012 by 2 Comments

The Mystery of the Delphi

It was the oracle at Delphi that told Honeywell to build it, “build it and they will buy.” But the oracle was having a bad vision day.

GOOD: The idea of optimum efficiency is a golden fleece. Sobers up everyone in the room instantly. Instinctively, they inch forward in their seats. They’ve heard this odyssey a thousand times, but they still pay very close attention. The Delphi is a marketing muse and withstands the harshest scrutiny — with all her bells and whistles. But that’s where the siren ends. Delphi sinks and we don’t know why. [Read more...]

A Boiler Upgrade that saves Fuel, Energy, while Reducing Operating Costs

May 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Traditional boiler safety control has been virtually the same since long before any of us were born. On a call for heat: check your limits, light a pilot, sense a flame, open gas valves and continue to run your boiler until your load is satisfied, or one of your limits trips, or you no longer sense a flame. Easy, unless your boiler shuts down and you are the one who has to figure out how to make it start again. [Read more...]

Gas Metering with Honeywell Transmitter

June 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Gas metering is a big part of what we offer customers. One product that has proven to be very successful is the Honeywell Smart Multivariable (SMV) Transmitter.  It is an industry leader – there are no others on the market that work as well.  It measures the gas pressure & temperature and measures a differential pressure across a primary element.  The primary element can be an orifice plate or a Preso Ellipse pitot tube.  It creates a differential pressure that we measure and relate to flow (the square root of the pressure drop is proportional to the flow rate).  The SMV calculates a corrected flow by accounting for the compressibility of the gas along with the pressure and temperature that exist in the pipe.  It is quite an involved calculation that is pre-loaded into the transmitter and set up using a software wizard.  Please keep it in mind for gas metering applications – it is an affordable alternative.  For under $4000 you can measure big flows accurately with easy installation.
