The Alfa Laval ViscoChief VCU-160R is a remote viscosity control unit used in the Alfa Laval ViscoChief CS-160 fuel-oil viscosity control system. It uses a built-in PI (proportional-integral) controller together with a viscosity transducer and temperature sensor to maintain the required fuel-oil injection viscosity by controlling the heating system.
Features
- Built-in proportional-integral (PI) control.
- Designed for continuous fuel-oil viscosity control.
- Works with the EVT-10C viscosity transducer.
- Uses a Pt100 temperature sensor for temperature measurement.
- Controls fuel-oil heating to maintain the required injection viscosity.
- Remote-control configuration for installation away from the measuring point.
- Supports steam, thermal-oil or hot-water heating arrangements when used with the appropriate regulating valve.
- Designed for marine diesel-engine fuel systems.
Typical Applications
- Marine diesel-engine fuel systems
- Heavy fuel oil (HFO) viscosity control
- Fuel-oil heating systems
- Shipboard engine-room automation
- Alfa Laval ViscoChief CS-160 systems
- Automatic control of fuel injection viscosity
- Steam/thermal-oil/hot-water fuel heating systems
