Measure the power a rotor consume
Improved cultivation, fermentation and easier scalability with measured data
In order to measure Power Numbers (Np) one need accurate data for rotor/impeller/turbine power consumption measured in Watt. Some Process-Control-System's (PCS) are able to measure total motor power. Though no PCS is able to measure the specific power lost into the media by the rotor / impeller / turbine only. The difference is friction in various bearings, coupling parts, motor friction, electrical losses, etc. which has to be measured and subtracted from total motor power.
Cilix-B2 is designed to establish genuine Power Numbers
Dual Perseus Drive Units each for one 100 watt geared BLDC motor mounted on MST driving a SUB and motor mounted on a SUB with HPD. Perseus is suitable for Power Number measurements from 5 liter WV SUBs, SUFs and up.
Cilix-B2 drive unit shown with 10 watt rated power NEMA-13 and 25 watt rated power NEMA-17 BLDC servo motors designed for both agitation and Power Number measurement on SUBs and SUFs with less than 5 liter Working Volume (WV). Centre photo show a 3.2 liter CellVessel mounted with a NEMA-17 motor. At far right Cilix-B2 with both NEMA-13 and NEMA-17 servo motors.
Both Cilix-B2 and B8 packages combines mechanics, electronics and highly advanced software. All matched carefully together so the Cilix measure the rotor power consumption in real-time in Watts required to perform the agitation only and hereby the accurate Np calculation.
So, skip the guessing and measure in real-time the accurate rotor Watt consumption and get instantly the calculated Power Number. Cilix is available from - https://cronus-pcs.com/products/themis-motor-drive
