FS-Elliott Co., LLC announced today the release of the R1000, the newest addition to the Regulus® control system line.
Building on FS-Elliott’s long-standing expertise in centrifugal compressor control, the R1000 introduces powerful new features that together enable plant operators to master one of a facility’s highest operating expenses — energy costs.
The R1000 features Ambient Compensation Control, a local control mode designed to automatically adjust the compressor set point based on changes in ambient conditions. As a result, the traditionally static surge control line becomes a dynamic entity, allowing the compressor to be safely controlled closer to the true surge line. This innovative control feature reduces waste by maximising turn-down and minimising bypass air, ensuring energy savings at off-peak operation.
The R1000 takes compressor control one-step further by employing Pressure Band Optimisation to avoid unnecessary discharge by optimising the amount of air produced based on the minimum pressure required to meet system demand.
