Automatic Linear Load Bank System:
 

For the linear controlled load banks, the digital controls would be set similarly but the heater loads would be applied in a linear fashion from 1 to 48 kw as needed with 3 x 16 kw heater elements. The system includes the addition of phase balancing where it is not available with the contactor based control.

The PLC system offers user friendly screens for set up, monitoring, fault identification, and other custom configurations. This option offers the most flexibility for set up and integration into the vessels existing monitoring system. The color touch screen can be remotely mounted if required. See literature for some of the screen shots.

 
 
  Technicold Automatic Linear Load Bank - Typical Installation and Usage  
     

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.


Variable outputs manage electrical load on each individual three phase leg, creating load balancing from less than 1kW up to 48kW. The load bank controller tracks each leg of power from the ship’s electrical panel, creating an extremely versatile, precise load managing solution.

The heat transfer module houses up to four banks of resistive water heating elements, which are submerged in a fresh water circuit (2). This heated fresh water is then pumped to a cupronickel coaxial fl uted tube-in-tube heat exchanger (3) 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.
