Gas consumption monitoring with volumetric corrector
This scheme shows the Kerberos's solution for monitoring the consumption of a gas system that requires the use of a volumetric corrector.

In plants where the quantity of gas consumed is considerable, or when the pressure is susceptible to considerable variations, it is necessary to install a volumetric corrector, which converts the volumes of "geometric" gas in relation to the standard cubic meter.

 

This functional scheme describes Kerberos's proposal for monitoring the consumption of a methane gas plant using gas flow meters (see Functional Scheme 12) and the volumetric corrector, KET-CVI-100.

 

QM122 - Communication Panel

 

The Communication Panel is a switchboard with 12 DIN modules IP65, composed of the KET-MUM-100 router that guarantees connection even in the absence of a local network and the KET-GZE-220 gateway that in addition to sending data to external platforms (such as X-Platform), has an internal SD memory that allows you to store data for long periods and an X-MP radio module.

 

Kerberos offers as additional services the preconfiguration of devices for easy and fast installation, SIM for annual data traffic at very attractive prices and the X-Platform Easy platform for data acquisition and visualization, configurable to your needs.

 

KET-DMX-200.AX

 

It is an interface with 6 digital inputs specifically for counting the pulses of gas flow meters. It is equipped with a radio module with X-Monitor Protocol, which can reach distances of over 1000 m in free air, for sending data directly to the Communication Panel. It can be supplied pre-configured and inserted in the electrical panel (Panel 1).

 

KET-BAX-100/200

 

Atex barriers, with 1 or 2 digital inputs, galvanically isolated, allow the transmission of pulses in hazardous areas in total safety. Also for safety purposes, they are installed upstream of the volumetric corrector inside a watertight IP56 junction box (Panel 1), together with the KET-DMX-200.AX. Pre-configuration and panel insertion services are provided.

 

KET-CVI-100

 

It is a volumetric corrector of type 1 gas, designed to calculate gas volumes at base conditions, according to measurement conditions, temperature, pressure and compressibility of the gas. It can be installed in hazardous areas, particularly in Zone 1. In the scheme it is represented in the panel (Panel 1) together with the KET-DMX-200.AX and the Atex barriers. Pre-configuration and panel insertion services are provided.

 

KET-CGT-000

 

It is a Dresser turbine gas flow meter that find optimal application in the measurement of non fiscal gas flow rates. Interchangeable internal cartridge complete with turbine, bearings and gears.

 

KET-CGP-000

 

It is a rotoid gas flow meter, are particularly recommended for systems that operate with frequent flow transients. The main advantages are reliability, easy maintenance and an extended operating range with very high measurement accuracy. Double case variant (.T) that guarantees a quieter operation.
