APPLICATIONS

Monitoring and Protecting Pumps

Monitoring and Protecting Pumps

Power monitoring can be an important element of a well-managed pump subsystem. Knowing pump motor power status and consumption provides valuable input about infeeds, flows, pressure and viscosity, process efficiency and the changes to the pumping subsystem over time. This can all be vital data to optimizing processes, protecting pumps from dangerous and harmful conditions, and maintaining an efficient pumping process into the future.

Load Controls PMP-25 family can monitor and protect pumps against:

  • Dry Running / Loss of Flow
  • Cavitation / Blocked Outlet
  • Dead Head
  • Increased Power Consumption Over Time Indicating Potential Maintenance Issues
Agitators and Mixers

Agitators and Mixers: Profiling a Process

One of the best applications for a power sensor is for monitoring viscosity changes in mixers and agitators. By using Power to profile a process, manufacturers are able to optimize production, monitor quality and act quickly upon deviations.
