Part load position sensors (LPI)
On this page find you the electronic part load position sensors (LPI- Linear Position Indicator ) on refrigeration Screw compressors – The position of the slide valve will be given in 4-20 Ma signal direct to the PLC or additional a led system direct on the compressor – You can connect the partload indication direct on the the PLC or the most controllers – For question of availability contact us by E-mail.
RM-modification kits for Howden WRV models
Incase you like to read-0ut direct the position of the capacity slider valve, we offer the RM-modification kit for Howden WRV Compressors models- the power supply is 24 VDC and provide a out put of 4-20 mA. There are no led indication is steps of 10% only a direct output of 4-20mA. The benefit is that the read-out is always 1 valve. The Connection is hirschmann connection not a round connector as the Howden LPI sensor. – Note: the connection is different down load the calibration and connection instruction below.
