Temperature device upgrade
16 March 2015
ABB’s latest generation of head mounted smart temperature transmitters have helped to provide a clever solution to a tricky upgrade project at Tata Steel in Port Talbot. ABB’s solution involved thirty TTH300 temperature transmitters being used to replace Hartmann and Braun field mounted units installed in 1981 without the need for extensive retrofitting work.
Rather than fitting the nearest ABB equivalent product into the existing cabinets, which would have required a lot of work to change the fixing holes and mounting arrangements, ABB took an alternative approach, which saw the existing field mount enclosures being reused to house its latest generation of head mounted TTH300 smart temperature transmitters.
A specialised mounting bracket was also developed which allowed the site to use its existing fixtures and fittings rather than incurring disruption by creating new ones.
