Pressure switches prevent expensive
downtime
A single false trigger in the steam turbines can cost the plant approximately US $41,000, excluding lost magnesium oxide production.
Xinlong Electrochemical has fitted its steam turbines with Winters pressure switches These pressure switches monitor vacuum points and trigger emergency stops when appropriate signals are detected - critical requirements when safeguarding giant steam turbines that spin at a few thousand rev/min
The Chinese magnesium oxide producer recently completed its third phase power plant expansion, almost doubling its capacity to 50,000kW.
A single false trigger in the steam turbines can cost the plant approximately US $41,000, excluding lost magnesium oxide production.
These costs mandate the use of high-performing, stable instruments.
The pressure switches provide advanced lever-operated mechanism, frictionless transmission design and high-quality in-house springs.
Other features include 0.5% accuracy and high repeatability.
