Onsite testing and performance monitoring

Censeo is a comprehensive roto-dynamic performance and condition monitoring platform. It has been developed using our patented thermodynamic technique, using head, differential temperature and power, and is the latest version of our Yatesmeter range. It can also operate using the conventional technique based on head, flow and power. It can be used to monitor the performance of the three key types of roto-dynamic machine (pumps, hydro-turbines and blowers). It measures the performance of centrifugal and positive-displacement units. It also measures flow accurately, even if the pumping system does not have sufficient straight lengths of pipework for conventional flow metering techniques.It accurately measures pump and system performance parameters, helping to improve the energy efficiency of pumping systems and to reduce their carbon footprint.It can also be used to monitor the hydraulic performance of a wide range of rotating machines in industrial applications, manufacturing plants and power stations. The provision of analogue inputs and outputs allows Censeo to be used as a fully integrated condition monitoring system. It can be readily integrated into a SCADA system, providing detailed pump performance and condition monitoring data for optimal operation. Built-in relays provide secondary protection for the pumping system and can be set to generate an alarm or trip a circuit, using data from up to eight of the measured parameters.

Application
