Pumps and Meters • Liquid Fill Systems  • What's New at ACI

The ACI Windshield Washer Fill System meters methanol and water, and dispenses accurate batches of the blended mixture

Accurate Automatic Batching and Blending

• Flow rates and blend ratios are PLC programmable

• Can vary water, methanol, and total presets--use this feature to change between summer and winter blends

• Magnetic pickups in the flowmeters--low maintenance, non-intrusive sensor sends pulses to the PLC for batching

• Controlled fluid pressures

• In-line--on the fly--blending of methanol and water

• Filtration
  

Fast and Flexible

• Compact metering equipment has small footprint

• Primary and backup metering circuits

• Fast dispensing--accommodates any hourly vehicle rate

• Meets or exceeds current line speed fill requirements

• Accepts methanol and water from various supply sources: tank farms; portable totes; city water

Safe

• Meets NFPA 70, 30, and 30A plus NEC 1996 specifications for electrical hazardous locations

• Virtually drip-free nozzles

PLC and Operator Controls

• Housed in an electrical enclosure in a non-explosion-proof area

• Controls the batching cycles

• Can communicate with other plant systems via remote I/O

• Operator interface is a PanelView computer
