Additive injection measurement and control
November 2001
Flow Measurement & Control
An additive injector panel offering the latest technology in additive injection measurement and control was recently released.
Available from DLM, the Lubrizol Minipak 2000 injector incorporates a virtual leak-proof metering/control manifold design with an enhanced Mini-Pak control module. The result is claimed to be the most advanced technology additive injector on the market.
Designed to meet the demand for total system integration, it can operate in a slave mode allowing additive control from an external device such as an electronic preset or terminal automation system. For local additive injection control the injector can run in SMART mode using the microprocessor based totaliser.
Injector manifold features
* Stainless steel construction.
* Precision oval gear meter machined into manifold block.
* Standard version with 538 Ryton gears, up to 11 litres per minute.
* Optional half height gears with double resolution.
* Standard Teflon ASCO solenoid valve machined into manifold block.
* Optional Chemraz ASCO solenoid valve.
* Inlet strainer and outlet check valve machined into manifold block.
* Inlet and outlet isolation/flow control needle valves machined into manifold.
* Standard components for common spare parts.
* Designed without tube fittings resulting in virtual leakless operation.
New features include:
* Hardware and software permissive.
* Self pace mode.
