The Technicold Load Bank Controller monitors each leg of power from the ship’s electrical panel and displays current kilowatt usage on an easy to read digital display or optional PLC screen.
When the ship’s power usage fluctuates, the controller uses pre-programmed parameters to add required electrical loads - including load shedding - as needed.
The Contactor based system will supply stepped loads in increments based on the kw rating of 4 separate heating elements up to 48 kw. This system would be best if your application requires a fixed load value to be added to the buss at specific generator loads. The cut-in and cut-out values are set to match the required loads based on the vessels load profile.
The heat transfer module houses up to four banks of resistive water heating elements, which are submerged in a fresh water circuit. This heated fresh water is then pumped to a cupronickel coaxial fl uted tube-in-tube heat exchanger for over board heat transfer.
Two seal-less magnetic driven pumps are used to circulate the fresh water and the seawater. This unique design does not require decalcification of heating elements, extending the life of heating elements and lowering overall maintenance costs.
