EPC 60 Retrofit State-of-the-art control for older centrifugal separators Background Alfa Laval separators, such as the MAPX, MMPX, WHPX, MOPX, FOPX, LOPX and MFPX, were developed decades ago and are equipped with older control systems. Unlike mechanical parts, it is difficult to assess the condition of the electrical components of these systems. Damage to a single component on a complex circuit board, for instance, can affect the entire separation system and cause downtime. Rather than wasting time to determine which electrical componentrequires replacement, it is common practice in the marine and diesel industry to replace the entire card often without considering other options. Application As a leader at the forefront of marine separator automation and control systems, Alfa Laval offers a reliable way to upgrade older generations of its control systems with new state-of-the-art control technology. The Alfa Laval EPC 60 Retrofit kit is specifically designed to replace all Alfa Laval separator electronic control systems in older separators, including the IPC 231, EPC 30, EPC 41 and EPC 400. Modernizing previous generations of Alfa Laval separators and control systems with EPC 60 control technology: • nsures safe, reliable and efficient operation of E the separator • Makes the separator easier to operate • Prolongs separator system lifetime • Secures future spare parts supply Extending separator performance With its space-saving design, modular I/O cards and ease of operation and maintenance, the EPC 60 Retrofit kit is a solid choice for extending the life of older separation systems The kit easily mounts into the space occupied by . the old controlcabinet. Older generations of circuit boards are upgraded with modular I/O cards, which can easily be replaced in a matter of minutes. One of the features is the built in P & I temperature controller. It is always recommendable to use a P & I controller to secure a steady and high separation temperature on the oil, making sure the separation efficiency is as high as possible. The Alfa Laval EPC 60 Retrofit kit is a smart way to modernize the control systems of older separation systems. System components • PC 60 cabinet, which has the exact same size, E mountingrequirements and cable flanges for re-use of existing cables • Pressure transmitter with adapters to replace existing pressure switches • Surge protectors to be installed on existing solenoid valves to protect the EPC 60 components from peak voltages • MT 60 water transducer board replaces all the older boards and sensors for the ALCAP separators • The EPC 60 control system is ready to utilize coming fea
