which typically for all electro-chemical oxygen cells last about one year. They also need the
special calibration gases and service on the analyzer.
They also placed a high priority on getting better level gauges on four main mazut storage tanks
to measure deliveries and consumption of mazut. The present level instruments are pressure
transducers near tank bottom, indicating level based on height and density ofliquid. The gauges
are not very accurate due to vanations of density of mazut and water content and plugging of
the tank nozzles with crud.
New ultrasonic level instruments would provide accurate level readings, and are not that
expensive.
They found the heat spy to be so useful that they would like to obtain a second instrument to be
used by their electrical maintenance engineers to locate hot spots in switchgear contacts,
transformers, motors and generators. They also asked about vacuum leak detector
instrumentatIOn and techniques for identifying and locating condenser vacuum leaks.
