The Helios Skid is comprised of the Controls Enclosure, Pump, Application Controller with associated piping and valves.  A plug-in communications module may be selected for the Helios skid microprocessor controller, and is available for either BACnet MS/TP BACNet IP protocol or MODBUS RTU RS232/485 protocol. The communications modules enable seamless communication with the facility control room for alarm notifications, monitoring, and control of the Helios system. A complete list of available communications points is available – please contact your Innovas sales representative to ensure you have the most updated points list.

Installed in the heat exchanger outlet piping, the strainer inside the Ball Trap prevents balls from escaping downstream. The ball trap may be installed in any position, and may be located in vertical or horizontal pipe runs. A Y-style trap is best suited for straight pipe runs and provides the lowest possible pressure drop. When necessary due to available space or existing piping configuration, an elbow-style ball trap can replace a 90-degree piping elbow.

This is where the balls are staged between injection cycles. The sight glass on the Collector enables the operator to observe the number and condition of the sponge balls. In addition, it permits the operator to observe the balls during manual operation of the system. The collector should be positioned so that an operator has unobstructed access to the sight glass to change the cleaning balls. Locating the collector close to the heat exchanger reduces the length of piping runs through which cleaning balls need to flow and reduces the Helios pump run time requirements. The collector stand is equipped with a mounting foot complete with anchor bolt holes, and a concrete housekeeping pad is not required.
