Greetings List(s).
(This posting is both a note, and a question, see below).
I've finalized the electronics needed to automate the control of a
gasifier.
The functions include:
1) Fuel movement into the gasifier.
2) Fuel delivery problem detected, shutdown (& alarm).
3) Over draw alarm. (adjustable set point)
4) High Limit (heating application)
5) Demand / Idle Cycle (heating)
6) Cyclic "Cleaning Cycle" (heating)
7) Digital Water Temperature (heating)
I'm looking at ordering a supply of pre-manufactured boards, that I
would simply populate and assemble.
The circuit board can be ordered populated, in motive or heating
designs, OR un-populated as a bare board, that you would add the
required components to.
Heating will also work in motive, BUT motive will NOT work in
heating, unless the additional components are added to the board.
Included with each board will be a complete schematic for both
versions, a parts list, and suggested sources (by quantity, not a
referral) for parts required, application notes, and "do's and
don'ts".
The fuel transport sensors are included with a pre-populated board
(both versions).
Is there any interest from the communities for these ?
(Should I go into production ?? ) I'm thinking of ordering 15
boards, etched, coated, and silk-screened, I need 5 of these boards
for internal sales, the other 10 would be for sale to list members.
(for now).
The only "add-on's" that one would need are: a case, power cord,
cables to the sensors (18/2 or 16/2 cabtire SJO), High Limit
control, Setpoint (Run/idle) control, Vacuum setpoint overdraw
control. (the last three items are basically specialty switches
from industrial controls, and are ONLY needed for the heating
version).
All the add-on's can be had at the local level from electrical
and heating supply houses.
I have no set price as yet, but would assume the populated circuit
board would be UNDER, $ 350.00 US dollars, (heating version, motive
version would be considerably less).
Alternatively, the entire unit can be ordered, complete with case,
cables, and add-on sensors included. (No price at this time).
