DecsaMonitor

‍

DecsaMonitor is Decsa's innovative 4.0 service that enables remote monitoring of vital cooling tower parameters, alerting Decsa in advance and promptly to any anomalies.

The service, implemented in collaboration with Onyax, is based on a TUBE-T3 sensor installed inside the  cooling tower, and an IoT platform that can record parameters sent by the sensor on a daily basis:

• Inlet pressure of water inside the cooling tower
• water inlet temperature
• fan vibration

DecsaMonitor thus makes it possible to track and monitor the proper operation of the cooling tower remotely, wherever it is installed, and to anticipate and limit the extent of the problem with targeted maintenance interventions.

Thanks to pre-established alarm thresholds, DecsaMonitor is able to alert operators to the presence of an anomaly, and thus, to possible risk conditions: from a more moderate risk, which signals to pay more attention to one or more parameters, to a higher one, which communicates a serious anomaly and thus the need to immediately schedule an intervention to contain the problem.

Measurement of cooling tower parameters

DecsaMonitor monitors the vital parameters of the cooling tower, sending the Customer the operating data from equipment. If the sensor senses one or more out-of-range values, the system triggers an alarm.

‍

Here are the measured parameters and some possible anomalies that DecsaMonitor can monitor:

‍

1. PRESSURE

A PRESSURE anomaly means:

• Leakage into the system
• Clogged nozzles
• Pump failure
• Poor plant management (water hammer)

‍

2. TEMPERATURE

An anomaly in the TEMPERATURE of the water means:

• fill pack clogged
• Insufficient motor turns or abnormalities on the fan
• Clogged intake grids
• Plant abnormalities or insufficient flow rates

‍

3. VIBRATIONS

Any abnormality of VIBRATIONS is an indication of fan malfunction such as:

• Fan imbalance
• Problems with transmission belts
• Faulty corner referral
• Defective bearing
• Motor abnormalities
