ESP Controls

Effective energization of a precipitator is essential if the removal efficiencies required today are to be achieved. Precipitator professionals developed the Hamon Research-Cottrell transformer-rectifier controls with experience on virtually every application and set of operating conditions. As you would expect, the performance of the controls are essential for optimum precipitator performance.

The Hamon Research-Cottrell Microprocessor Rapper/Vibrator Control (MRC) is an advanced system designed by precipitator professionals specifically to provide the control required for this performance. The controller is easily programmed for rapper cycle time, intensity, repetitive raps, vibrator on time and a host of other operating parameters.

The Hamon Research-Cottrell Transceiver is used as a bridge between the plants interface Distributed Control System (DCS) and the Hamon Research-Cottrell Microprocessor TR Control (MTC-G3 or MTC-G2) and Microprocessor Rapper Control (MRC) through an RS485 port. The Transceiver continuously scans all of the controls to gather readings and setpoints. The data is stored in the Transceiver memory so that the DCS can read specific data in an organized fashion.

Hamon Research-Cottrell can provide a custom designed microcomputer (PC) for control and interface of the ESP. Precipcommander™ software will be installed in the PC providing the most advanced precipitator control system available. Users are guided through seventeen (17) standard screens that provide detailed information on all TR controllers, rapper controllers and external digital and analog signals such as opacity, hopper accessory data, dust removal system operating parameters and gas oxygen content.
