Automatically Monitor and Control Coolant Concentration
November 1, 2014
PRAB, Inc. has introduced an exclusive new feature for monitoring and controlling coolant concentration in its Guardian Coolant Recycling System. The AC3
(Automatic Coolant Concentration Control) is designed to continually monitor coolant concentration levels and adjust automatically to maintain programmed ratios within +/- 0.5% accuracy. The system achieves this critical balance by taking continuous concentration measurements using an automatic refractometer. The readings are analyzed by a series of algorithms built into the exclusive software package. The intelligence automatically determines action, opening and closing valves and turning on and off a pump delivery system.
The AC3 works exclusively in conjunction with the PRAB Guardian Central Coolant Recycling System. "The Guardian uses a comprehensive coalescing filtration process, effectively removing mechanically dispersed tramp oils to 0.1% or less," said a company spokesperson. "The Guardian Coolant Recycling System has demonstrated a reduction in haul-away costs by 90%, and has lowered new coolant purchase up to 75%. Payback on equipment purchase is typically six to nine months."
