Information system for the plant and would like to combine the data from all instruments
into one program He has wntten a program In C-Ianguage for downloading data from the
Panametrics He asked where IS the program from Panametncs for downloading data to
a computer They use the flow meter every day for measunng hot water flow and mazut
flow to bOilers
They do not have a program diskette for the Enerac S N 11003252. They used to buy
reference gases to calibrate Instruments In plant, but now calibrate the Enerac and use It
to check other Instruments But they cannot use It to plot and analyze data on the pnnter
as descnbed In the manual, and wonder If there IS special software to make it work We
were given a document shOWing calculation of efficiency and energy savings of about
$34,000 dunng 1995 using the Enerac We were also given a document from the Central
Cnmean Regional Department of EnVironmental Protection regarding a dispute In
companson of Inspector uSing coloremetnc burettes to test flu gas vs Enerac readings
always being lower and a requirement to do parallel tests WIth the Donorgres Laboratory
"TESTO-33" Instrument
The Electrrcal Department has been uSing the Fluke power analyzer extensively to
measure current, voltage and phase angles With very good results They measure voltage
on busses, current on current transformers
The accuracy of the Fluke IS higher than measurrng equipment In the plant for measunng
voltage and current They trust the Instrument very much and use It to check other
measunng Instruments When testing phases on a group of transformers at the gas
turbines, they found an unbalance They could perform maintenance on the scheme, but
the cost would be higher than the energy losses
They used the Fluke to try to find the weak POints In bOiler feedwater pump motors and
Identified that stator Winding need to be replaced They also discovered that copper rotor
bars end connecttons were weakenrng, resulting in losses The problem IS that these are
old 3 KV motors no longer made, as 6 KV IS standard
They also found a small 200W unbalance of about 20% at admlnrstratlon bUilding where
one phase was overloaded and they corrected It The Important lesson IS that the Fluke
IS useful for Identifying energy losses
The Infrared thermometer Mlnolta Cyclops IS used to check for heat losses from bOilers,
drum insulation, steam lines, etc They found bad insulation on a stream drum and
replaced It They tned to check the accuracy of Instrument against a thermocouple and
found 40°C dIfference They do not trust the accuracy, but saId they do not have a manual
in RUSSian or table of emissivitles We mentioned that the Mlkrom manual was translated
and should be Similar
They used the Instrument to find a steam leak under Insulation In the main bUIlding They
