and measurement and analytics, marine and turbocharging products.

As a global #2 in the marketplace.Building on our deep domain expertise, 

diverse team and global footprint, we are committed to helping our customers become more competitive,

increase their return on investment, and achieve safe, smart and sustainable operations.

This reflects ABB’s commitment to a low-carbon society by helping to

reduce carbon emissions and supporting sustainable operations in key industries.

A key task for gas pipeline operators is to manage their installed base of analyzers to ensure their trade

handover,

emissions reduction and process control applications require reliability, system integrity and performance.

Hazardous area compliant analyzers require simple wall mounting and process connections without

complex system purging.

Once installed and verified, the analyzers provide fast and reliable measurements in the field without

calibration.

Sensi+ analyzers include ABB’s AnalyzerExpert™ functionality,

which provides expert operation and insights directly from the device.

Features include built-in self-diagnostics, automatic laser line locking,

real-time cross-talk compensation and operating condition monitoring.

Too little water injection can result in excessive steam temperatures and pressures,

risking damage to the superheater, turbine and downstream components.

To correct for small changes in temperature, small changes in water volume

must also be realized in the reverse adjustment of the valve.

The same must be true in the disproportionate zone of the valve.

Any equipment used must be able to withstand the harsh operating environment

and high ambient temperatures associated with superheater applications.

Solutions – Highly accurate continuous positioning of sprinkler valves

ABB’s Contrac continuous electric linear actuator provides the ideal solution for sprinkler valve control applications.

The ideal solution for valve control applications.

Even at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F) according to IEC 60034-1.

The Contrac actuator is fully S9-100%ED operable even at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C (185 °F),

allowing for highly accurate continuous positioning of water spray valves.

The Contrac actuator utilizes oil lubricated spur gears and the drive shaft is supported by ball bearings.

Rotary motion is converted to linear motion in the linear actuator by means of a highly efficient ball screw spindle.

The Contrac actuator is wear-free, with a deadband of only ± 0.5 mm.

With a deadband of only ± 0.05%, 

the Contrac actuator provides highly accurate positioning for all types of valves. 

With its rugged design and IP66/NEMA 4X rating, 

the Contrac actuator can withstand even the most extreme conditions.

With its rugged design and IP66/NEMA 4X protection rating, 

the Contrac actuator can withstand even the harshest operating conditions.

‍The following pages show some of the ways in which ABB valve automation products bring benefits in different applications

Electric actuators

Maintenance-free operation for the longest time

In boiler applications, superheaters are widely used to help increase steam temperature.

Shower water valves control the supply of cooling water that is injected into the superheated steam in the superheater and reheater.

Tight control of the cooling water supply helps to achieve optimum steam temperatures both inside and at the output of the superheater.

The Challenge – Accurately Controlling the Mass Flow of Cooling Water

To minimize the cooling of steam in the process while achieving the maximum allowable steam temperature

Continuous, precise control of the mass flow rate of cooling water injected into the superheater and reheater is required.

This requires continuous and precise control of the mass flow rate of cooling water injected into the superheater and reheater. 

Too much water injection will result in subcooling of the steam and reduce boiler efficiency.

Protection functions can be “connected” to specific input channels by setting the corresponding parameters.

Digital input and output signals can also be logically combined internally:

– The tripping outputs of each protection function can be assigned in a matrix fashion to the channels of the trip auxiliary relay assembly.

The channels of the trip auxiliary relay assembly.

– The contact and trip signals can be assigned to the channels of the signaling auxiliary relay assembly.

The channels of the auxiliary relay assembly.

– Each protective function can be blocked by a digital signal (e.g. digital input or trip signal using another protective function).

– External signals applied to the digital inputs can be processed in any desired way.

– The digital signals can be combined to perform logical functions,

e.g. an external enable or blocking signal with the output signal of a protective function.

The digital signals can be combined to perform logical functions,

such as external enable or blocking signals with the output signals of a protection function

or with the output signals of an internal protection function, which can then be used to block one of the other protection functions.

Using the process bus type MVB, the remote input and output unit 500RIO11 can be connected to the REG216 terminals.

By using the RIO580 Remote I/O system, it is possible to expand the number of input and output channels to a larger number.

Mounting the 500RIO11 I/O unit close to the process allows it to be connected to the REG216 terminals via fiber optic connection, which greatly reduces wiring.

Protection functions

All protection functions required for independent protection of generators, power transformers and feeders are available.

All protection functions required for transformers and feeder lines.

The system thus replaces multiple relays in conventional protection schemes used for such power system equipment.

Therefore, the system replaces multiple relays in conventional protection schemes used for this type of power system equipment.

The table on page 2 describes the most important protection functions.

Simply use your personalcomputer to select the desired protection function

from a comprehensive library of protection functions for your specific application.

Use personalcomputer to select the required protection functions from a comprehensive library.

No knowledge of computer programming is required.

All setting ranges are very broad, making the protection functions suitable for a wide range of applications.

The following main parameters can be set:

– Processing unit assignment

– Input channels

– Pickup setting

– Time delay

– Definition of operating characteristics

– Trip logic

– Control signal logic.
