Cool-Therm Ltd, a pioneer in the development of the ultra-efficient Turbomiser chiller, is now able to monitor and diagnose chiller performance via the Cloud and GSM, with major potential benefits for engineers and end users.
Turbomiser chillers are now equipped with specialist communications hardware and software, enabling them to remotely transmit and receive data. The system can connect to a local cellular GSM network, or be accessed via Ethernet.
Connection requires the end user’s permission, but once authorisation is given enables engineers to monitor plant performance remotely, and diagnose potential problems prior to – or overcoming the need for - a site visit.
There are a number of ways of accessing information. Engineers can connect to the chiller via Ethernet, and Turbomisers are equipped with a data SIM which can connect with the GSM network. While in GSM mode, data is not streamed constantly, but channels are opened if an exceptional event occurs, such as an alarm / fault or parameter change, and the data is automatically transmitted.
Such exceptional events are recorded on a Cloud-based archive on the manufacturer’s web portal.
