ADSE-115 Controller at Natural Gas Station in PA

The ADSE-115 controller is installed in an existing natural gas plant's unattended compressor building. Installed by the C.H. Reed Co., this ADSE is controlling two Curtis 98 base-mounted compressors and theAuto Lead/Lag Control is set to switch the lead compressor every 5 hours. Automatic dual control and totally unloaded soft starts are features that were required by the customer, Enmacon Service Corp.of Johnstown, PA. Note the all stainless steel control air piping.

The absolute reliability of the Universal Autodual controller is a basic requirement for this critical installation to maintain the stability of the natural gas plant.

Universal AutoSync Controller on Two New Champion R10, 7-1/2hp Compressors at multiple Mavis Tire Locations
	The installation is very simple: 1. One wire goes to the pressure switch; 2. Two wires go to the starter coil on each compressor; 3. Set up -- Designate compressor 1 and compressor 2. Set the pressure on compressor 2 to at least 10 psi lower than compressor 1. That was accomplished by turning the pressure switch adjustment screw 3/4 of a turn counter clockwise on compressor 1. The AutoSync features that are important to Mavis include: 1. True lead/lag control that alternates the two compressors on the clock, which for Mavis was one hour. In the event that the lead compressor cannot hold the plant load and the system pressure falls to the "start" pressure of the lag compressor, the lag compressor will start and assist the lead compressor in meeting the increased air demand. The AutoSync brings true lead/lag control to the operating system and makes both compressors available for use automatically. One common problem with the standard alternator is a system where the operating air compressor is barely meeting the plant demand and NEVER gets to its shutoff pressure. The result of that is the continuous running of one machine that compromises the motor, starter and compressor integrity and puts the compressor manufacturer in warranty jeopardy. Since we FORCE the alternation, this situation will never happen with the AutoSync. 2. Hour meters. No company has hour meters (or true lead/lag control) available for their standard recips. The two hour meters allow the customer to balance the load on both machines and is a sure method of indicating maintenance periods.

Universal AutoSync

The Universal Autosync has applications beyond the standard air compressor lead/lag functions. Shown is an installation of the AutoSync integrated into the controls of a two stage water chiller. The AutoSync effectively lead/lags the two water chillers based on chrono time and allows the lag cooler to be accessed automatically if the load duty requires its operation. This is installed at a National Fish Hatchery in Idaho.

Duplex Vacuum Pump Controller Model VASPSS

For a two 10hp pump system installed in the University of Louisville power plant. 
The VASPSS Controller includes two starters, microprocessor logic, pressure transducer, 
and automatic lead/lag switching. This VASPSS installation resulted in the lag pump 
shutting off all of the time, saving the University considerable operating costs and reducing
system pump turning time by 50%.

		Problems and failures of the building climate control system with Duplex Quincy QR Series Compressors. The addition of the ADSE-115 Universal Autodual ended the problems and added the following benefits: 1. Totally unloaded stress-free starts 2. Automatic dual control for each machine with 4 minutes time out 3. True lead/lag switching 4. Low oil pressure emergency shutdown 5. Pressure Transducer pressure control for absolute accuracy.

		Major tire retailer depends on his compressors to keep his systems operating. The installation of the Universal Autodual Model ADSE enhanced the efficiency and operational capability of the system by operating only the compressor needed to produce air, having the lag compressor always ready to pick up system overcapacity and sharing the lead compressor role by switching the lead machine every two hours. Before the Autodual, this system would operate the lead machine 100% of the time, avoiding the stop required alternate to the second compressor. The single compressor would never maintain system pressure high enough to operate the tire machine. The ADSE Autodual balanced the load on both compressors, supplied soft totally unloaded starts, automatic dual control, automatic true lead/lag control and a highly efficient auto tank drain system and maintained system pressure requirements.

Special ADS on Oilless Scroll Compressor

A Special ADS on an Oilless Scroll Compressor brings automatic dual control and loadless starts for an OEM manufacturing military compressed air systems.

The ADS Universal Autodual brings timed-out high eficiency operation, eliminating too many start-stops or endless idling.

Pressure control is accomplished by a Pressure Transducer with its own display, making pressure selection a simple touch pad function.

The use of this Special Autodual resulted in a manufacturing cost saving, a much simplified installation package, along with the operational enhancement of the Autodual controller.

Unloading the compressor for the soft start and autodual control is accomplished with an atmospheric unloader.

        Customer's 24 hour operation required all of the 15 hp 
capacity on the 1st shift, but very little on the 2nd and 
3rd shifts. The Universal Autodual automatically 
selected constant speed for the 1st shift and then 
automatically timed out and stopped the compressor
