BITZER
IQ MODULE: La Soluzione Avanzata per la Gestione dei Compressori
L’IQ MODULE consente di migliorare l’efficienza, la sicurezza e il monitoraggio del compressore. Progettato per garantire un funzionamento ottimale e affidabile.
Monitora costantemente i parametri operativi del compressore, come la temperatura del motore, la pressione e il livello dell’olio. Grazie al sistema VARISTEP o a un inverter esterno come BITZER VARIPACK, l’IQ MODULE regola la capacità del compressore, ottimizzando le prestazioni in base alle esigenze dell’impianto.
IQ MODULE: Migliora l’Efficienza dei Compressori
L’IQ MODULE è progettato per aumentare l’efficienza dei compressori, offrendo un supporto prezioso a progettisti e installatori nella realizzazione di impianti di refrigerazione. Facilita inoltre ai tecnici di service una diagnosi rapida e precisa del funzionamento del compressore e dell’impianto. L’intelligenza integrata nei compressori è fondamentale per una gestione accurata della macchina e per la risoluzione tempestiva di eventuali anomalie. L’IQ MODULE è incluso di serie in tutti i compressori semiermetici a pistoni, sia per refrigeranti HFC/HFO che per CO2, a 4, 6 e 8 cilindri, ed è disponibile come optional per le famiglie a 2 cilindri.
BDN: Ottimizzazione e Manutenzione Remota
La Bitzer Digital Network (BDN) è una piattaforma digitale che offre accesso ai dati in tempo reale e storici, permettendo di monitorare e ottimizzare le prestazioni dei compressori. Facilita la manutenzione, consentendo di caricare e gestire documenti relativi ai componenti BITZER per una rapida risoluzione dei problemi. Grazie alla connessione cloud, è possibile accedere ai sistemi di refrigerazione da remoto, riducendo costi operativi e impatto ambientale. Gli utenti possono accedere alla BDN tramite il portale myBITZER o l’app BITZER SPOT.
