The Murphy PowerCore® TEC-10 by Enovation Controls is a flexible and economic controller designed to provide a comprehensive set of monitoring and controls suitable for use with all stationary diesel engine.
Designed as a lower-cost alternative to the popular Murphy ML-2000 controller, the TEC-10 reduces the total number of sensor inputs and relay outputs while maintaining the same degree of electrical and physical superiority enjoyed by its older sibling.
It features a high-contrast 2.7″ WQVGA monochrome display with backlight, 3 LED indicators, 11 tactile buttons with labels, weatherproof key-switch and an emergency stop button.
The enclosure and it’s contents are built to endure industrial environments from full sun to wide temperature ranges; featuring a high degree of sealing for dust and water as well as the ability to withstand intense vibration.
The TEC-10 is designed as a plug-and-play engine controller, with the included programming supporting a wide range of irrigation and industrial applications.
Real-World application for the TEC-10:
- The TEC-10 Controller is installed onto a mechanically-governed turbo-charged diesel pump that is driving a central pivot irrigator.
- Analog sensors will be installed which provide engine speed, coolant temperature, oil pressure and pump discharge pressure. All of which are actively monitored by the controller and are visible on the screen for operators.
- The TEC-10 will automatically start the irrigator at a chosen time, run a 3 minute warmup cycle to reduce engine wear and then begin line-fill to slowly push the air out of the lines.
- The controller will then actively throttle the engine via an actuator in order to maintain a given pressure – greatly reducing fuel usage and reducing wear on outlets.
- Finally the controller will perform a cool-down cycle prior to stopping the engine to reduce wear on the engine and allow the turbo to cool.
