USA, Massachusetts, Marlborough: Doble Engineering Company has announced the release of the Calisto R9 dissolved gas analysis (DGA) monitor.
Ground-breaking new technologies allow Calisto R9 to deliver accurate gas readings over the long haul without the maintenance costs associated with cylinders of consumable gas.
Calisto R9 reports hourly readings of all the key transformer fault gases. A new differential infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (DIPAS) method provides accurate measurements of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6). Hydrogen (H2) is measured using the sensitive and stable thermal-conductivity method that has been a differentiator for Calisto fault-detection monitors for more than 20 years.
The new product also features all new electronics for enhanced reliability and supply-chain resilience, with a generous offering of communication features and optional modules. A Linux operating system allows the product to integrate into any smart substation architecture while meeting evolving requirements for cyber security. The new browser-based user interface offers intuitive operation and harmonizes the user experience with other products in Doble’s condition monitoring suite.
“We have brought together Doble’s century of knowledge in asset health and maintenance and Morgan Schaffer’s deep experience in dissolved gas analysis to create this next-generation product that makes dissolved gas monitoring easier and more impactful for utilities globally,” added Bryan Sayler, President of Doble.
Calisto R9 will be produced at a new facility in Montréal, Québec, Canada using world-class methodologies for lean-manufacturing and quality assurance. After-sales support will be provided through Doble’s international network of channel partners and affiliated companies, including Altanova.
