Crouzet Millenium: Application Stories Part 1

Friday, September 23, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
Crouzet Millenium Application #1:
Heat Pumps

Make the most of natural energy - air, water - to heat or cool a hot water system or heating circuit.

Using a Millenium 3 logic controller and NTC and Pt100 accessories you can do the following:

The heat from the warm fluid is captured by a refrigerating liquid which is compressed to give it a pressure of 40 bar and a temperature of 140°.

In a heat exchanger, this refrigerating liquid then transfers its heat to water for a hot water system or a hot water tank.

Once this thermal exchange has taken place the fluid, which has lost both temperature and pressure, has its pressure further reduced by a solenoid valve which drastically reduces its temperature even more.

This fluid is then able to receive the heat from the hot source and the cycle is ready to begin again!

Crouzet Millenium 101

Friday, September 23, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
I was looking through our latest Crouzet catalog and came across a great section describing logic controllers.

crouzet milleniumBasically it gives a simple description of what a logic controller is. Marshall Wolf Automation carries the IDEC SmartRelays and Crouzet Millenium programmable logic relays.

'A logic controller is a programmable module which is used to control small automation systems or small installations.

The logic controller is a plural solution in a control system since it contains solutions that can replace a number of products; timers, counters, control relays, temperature controllers, impulse relays, etc.

The logic controller operates as the brain of applications. It is capable of retrieving information and triggering actions; it can be adapted to suit the needs of customer applications.'


Actions that a Crouzet Millenium or IDEC Smart Relay logic controller can handle are controlling, measuring, managing and communicating.
