DCO Systems

According to the BSI Net Zero Barometer 2024 report, one of the key highlights for the energy sector is 'Sustainability leadership: 72% of UK manufacturers have already taken action to achieve net zero by 2050, but specific challenges remain.' Read more: bsigroup.com/en-GB/insights…

It's great to see DCO's Easy STM on display at #ACHEMA2024 with one of our partners - Thermal Energy International. They are promoting their extensive range of energy efficiency solutions which includes our steam trap monitoring line.

Are you looking to combat steam loss & save money? Monitoring your leaking steam traps is a good starting point as they can cost your company tens of thousands. We know, we’ve done the research in our ‘2024 Cost of Steam Loss Analysis’! Get your copy. Email sales@dcosystems.co.uk

Not all steam traps are easily accessible or have space for monitoring equipment to be placed near the trap. DCO understand these challenges & have designed a range of steam trap monitors to fit nearly all scenarios- like this caged steam trap! Learn more: dcosystems.co.uk

This Flex STM (steam trap monitor) is on a pharmaceutical site in the UK and measuring pipe temperatures, ambient temperature, humidity, and pressure. The armoured cable leads allow the IP66 enclosure to be conveniently attached where space allows. Visit dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/fl…

This thermal harvester is powering DCO’s steam trap monitor. It’s a brilliant power source for this environment- taking the temperature differential found in steam systems & turning it into always-on, maintenance-free energy. Monitor more with DCO! Visit dcosystems.co.uk

Did you know? DCO Systems offer on-site installation for our steam trap monitoring solutions. We can install your monitors, gateway & offer on-site training for your engineers. Learn more at dcosystems.co.uk #madeinbritain #ukmanufacturing #gbmfg

As steam continues to be a crucial energy source across many industries in the UK, it is important for plant managers & engineers to find the resources they need to manage their steam systems. That's why DCO Systems have joined Steam Network UK. #madeinbritain #remotemonitoring

Interesting article in the BBC News on Green Steam. The 'monitoring' of the steam system is a crucial player in this. With monitored traps, you have full visibility. As you can image, the cost saving & energy efficiency benefits are significant. #ukmfg bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

We are very proud to be a member of Made in Britain and showcase the Made in Britain mark on our steam trap monitoring products. It's great to see that the demand for UK-manufactured goods continues to increase. madeinbritain.org/news/trademark… @MadeinBritainGB #ukmfg #gbmfg

Batches of our new Easy STM are making their way to customer sites in the UK & Europe. Once installed, these monitors will be collecting dual temperature measurement (steam & condensate), plus orientation, vibration, ambient temperature, & humidity. Visit dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/

Every Easy STM has an integrated energy harvester to power the unit- therefore they are not only battery-free, but maintenance-free as well. These harvesters (below) will be fitted with an IP66 enclosure and the smaller model will be easy to install. Visit dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/ea…

The Easy STMs are in production and will be making their way to different customer sites within the next week. Their main goals: 1) Provide persistent, accurate real-time data 2) Make an engineer’s life easier Learn more at dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/ea…

What’s so easy about the Easy STM? In the field, a majority of traps (>80%) can easily be monitored & diagnosed with a simplified monitoring solution. Our battery-free, Easy STM model is a simple 'out-of-the-box' solution for all trap types. Learn more at dcosystems.co.uk

The Gateway is an important part of a monitoring solution. You need something reliable, secure & scalable. For us, that is the LoRaWAN network. DCO's LoRaWAN gateway can service up to 250 Flex STM sensors at distances of up to 1.6Km. Learn more at dcosystems.co.uk #ukmfg

Flex STM is good choice is when you need a mix of different mountings. Flexible mounting kits have options for high temperature pipework, insulated pipes (large diameter), struts, wall mounting and many others. Learn more at dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/fl… #madeinbritain #ukmfg #gbmfg

When will you need a Flex STM? One scenario is for caged & restricted access traps. Where steam traps are enclosed, encased or caged in protective devices that restrict access, Flex STM allows the antenna to be situated for good radio performance. Visit dcosystems.co.uk/steam-traps/

Many steam systems have multiple collocated traps. In this situation, where one or more steam traps are adjacent, a single Flex STM unit can be used to economically monitor up to 4 separate traps. This monitor is going to a pharmaceutical site. Learn more: dcosystems.co.uk

What does steam have to do with data collection? It’s the abundance of heat (temperature differential) within a steam system that powers DCO’s steam trap monitors & allows them to transmit data up to 240 times a day. The end result is a rich dataset! Visit dcosystems.co.uk

Energy harvesting powered devices are significant. The persistent collection of energy within the device means that it can send continuous payloads of data to the cloud- temperature, vibration, environmental & acoustic.  A battery can't do that. Visit dcosystems.co.uk
