/ Applications of Measurement and Monitoring Technology
Today, the global power industry is faced with the challenge of developing a solution that accommodates the rising demand for a reliable and flexible source of energy without increasing operational emissions or costs. One method industry professionals rely on to achieve and maintain effective and efficient operations is integrating temperature and pressure instruments into their power generation and distribution equipment. This measurement and monitoring technology allows them to identify if and when their systems require modifications to improve their performance.
At Ashcroft, our measuring and monitoring solutions find application in a variety of power generation and distribution equipment, including, but not limited to, the following:
At Ashcroft, our measuring and monitoring solutions find application in a variety of power generation and distribution equipment, including, but not limited to, the following:
- GAS-FIRED POWER PLANTS
- COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS
- SUSTAINABLE
- GAS TURBINES
- BOILERS
- HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM GENERATORS (HRSG) (HRSG)
Gas-fired power plants operate under stringent regulations due to volatile, high-risk conditions. Pressure monitoring is critical for turbine and steam generation operations, while boilers, combustion, denitrification, and heat recovery systems must be closely watched for temperature fluctuations. Our 5503 and 5509 differential pressures units are ideal for applications involving low in. H2O differential or high static pressures. They feature an all stainless steel construction and IP 65 Ingress protection class rating for safe and reliable performance.
Coal-fired power plants, a traditional mainstay of the power industry, have evolved to meet growing customer demand and increasingly strict emissions standards. They rely on temperature and pressure monitoring equipment to ensure they maintain efficient power usage and acceptable emission rates.
Sustainable energy systems (e.g., hydropower and wind turbines) utilize measurement and monitoring instruments to control fluid pressure and levels. For example, pressure transducers and switches are used to monitor hydraulic pressure in accumulators, while level switches are used to monitor hydraulic fluid levels in wind turbine reservoirs.
Gas turbines rely on pressure sensors, switches and temperature sensors to ensure fuel levels and pressures remain optimal for system performance.
Boilers generate high levels of heat and pressure, both of which can have explosive consequences if left unchecked. As a result, they are subject to strict regulatory standards to ensure they maintain safe operating conditions. Pressure and temperature instruments—e.g., switches—are positioned strategically throughout boiler systems to ensure they run properly and safely.
Heat recovery system generators are elements used in small-scale and localized power generation facilities to create additional power. We offer rugged and reliable RTDs, tube skin thermocouples, and other temperature and pressure instruments that allow these systems to work properly.
