Central Control Electrical Panel

A custom electrical control panel allows one point hookup and may include:

  • HMI ( Human Interface Device ) touchscreens
  • PLC ( Programable Logic Control )
  • SCADA ( Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition ) Communication Systems
  • 24/7 alarm reporting to cell phones

All pump starters, fuses, disconnect, control voltage transformer, run and fail lights, are housed in a common NEMA rated panel.

Central Thermostat Control System

This system is used to control chiller units in a multiple central industrial chilling system. The temperature controller is located at the Berg tank and senses the process water temperature. The process water temperature is maintained by cycling the chiller units.
