Abstract
In this paper, a novel method is introduced for the acquisition and transmission of critical parameters from valves used in industrial refrigeration. The parameter sensing provides local intelligence to the valve, which can be later used as a feedback signal for the controller. The hardware design includes ICS (Industrial Control Servo) valve with modifications to connect a Linear Variable Transformer (LVT) position sensor, pressure and temperature sensors. Also, a circuit board carrying the phase shift oscillator, Root Mean Square (RMS) to Direct Current (DC) converter, power supply and a dedicated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module for transmitting the collected data is designed. The transmitted data can be received in a mobile phone android application and used for a secondary data calculation, alarm notification and alerting service technician. The sensor integration along with BLE connectivity creates a novel platform for data acquisition in Industrial Refrigeration (IR). The proposed method tested in real time to regulate the Helium gas flow rate and measured valve parameters is monitored by the dedicated mobile application.
