Istec RecipSys 200
The RecipSys 200 is a compact monitoring system for reciprocating compressors. It delivers accurate real-time data of rider band wear, eliminating the need for periodic production shutdowns to do manual inspections. The transmitter-based system is affordable and extends the range of compressors which can be monitored.
Increased uptime
The compact monitoring system eliminates the need for periodic production shutdowns for manual inspections, lowering downtime.
Any compressor
The transmitter based system has a low financial impact and enables extending monitoring coverage to any reciprocating compressor.
Any configuration
The system is expandable to any cylinder configuration, compatible with any sensor brand and integrable to any existing monitoring system.
How it works
Watch the video (1:22) for a detailed explanation about how the RecipSys 200 works. In this video we explain the concept of piston rod measurements and how a phase trigger contributes to an accurate output.
Any configuration
Technical features
Phase-triggered accuracy
The monitoring system filters the displacement signal to the right phase angle, to provide a reliable measurement for compressors with fixed or variable RPM. The triggered signal ensures the accuracy as opposed to overall measurements.
Compact system
The system has a small technical footprint and is fully functional as an independent monitoring system.
Suite integration
The monitoring system includes two industry-standard analogue (4-20 mA) outputs to enable integration with any monitoring suite.
Input signals
- Dual-channel piston rod monitoring
- 2x Rod position: 3 wire eddy current
- 1x Tacho (phase trigger): 3 wire eddy current
Output signals
- 2x analog output
- 2x raw signal output
- 1x trigger signal
- 3x relay output
