No More Downtime: REconnect Coupling System for OPTIBAR diaphragm seals | KROHNE

Описание: The video demonstrates the functioning of REconnect, a quick coupling solution that allows diaphragm seal systems to be connected and disconnected without opening the process.

REconnect is a quick coupling system for separating and connecting diaphragm seal systems with capillaries. It is positioned between a pressure or differential pressure transmitter and the process connection, enabling simple and safe decoupling of diaphragm seal systems and transmitters during maintenance, installation, or calibration. The quick coupling is particularly advantageous in hygienic applications within the food and beverage industry, in processes involving toxic or sensitive substances such as those in the pharmaceutical sector, and in large, complex installations with numerous connections in the chemical industry.

The system consists of a two-piece ball valve. When closed, both sides are hydraulically connected and locked; when opened, both sides remain pressure-tight and can be separated axially. This makes it especially suitable for applications where pressure transmitters and diaphragm seals are connected via capillary tubes. Unlike conventional hydraulic connectors, the design prevents displacement of the oil volume and ingress of air, which can otherwise cause drift and false readings. The quick coupling can be used on either the transmitter side or the process side.

REconnect simplifies the installation of transmitters and diaphragm seal systems. It reduces the need for additional service personnel, as installations can be carried out by a single engineer. Maintenance and replacement of flange connections can be performed without complete reinstallation or recalibration. During mandatory calibration intervals, pressure transmitters can be removed and replaced without interrupting the process – even at pressurised measuring points.
