A new monitoring and data logger system for industrial cooling equipment applications

This paper presents a new data logger system to monitor the parameters of processes of industrial cooling systems. It results from a straight cooperation between academia and industry in applied research and development. The prototype built and tested fulfills all the requisites and functionalities expected for the system, and allows local and remote data access. Among others, it monitors and keeps parameters on the quality of electrical energy, the oil and gas pressure, the oil and gas temperature, the outside temperature, and other parameters concerning the correct operation and the efficiency of the cooling system. Further work is undergoing prior to turn it into a commercial product.
