Monitoring system for steam traps - Cona Control | ARI

The CONA® Control system by ARI is a sophisticated monitoring solution for steam traps, designed to enhance energy efficiency and plant performance. Key features include failure detection, identifying issues such as leaking and blocked traps, and a patented temperature sensor for safe operation. The system offers continuous, real-time performance monitoring with immediate failure alerts. It is compatible with steam traps from various manufacturers and uses AS-i-Bus for communication, integrating seamlessly with Profibus DP systems. The central status display can monitor up to 30 steam traps, indicating problems like blockages and steam leaks. Technical specifications include an ambient temperature range of 0°C to +50°C, power supply options of 100-240 V AC or 24 V DC, and an IP65 enclosure rating for most components. Connection options include external and bolt-on test chambers, suitable for various installation types. The system is ideal for monitoring ball float steam traps, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and plant performance.
