    • Blue Box Server

    Gathers, stores, distributes, and presents wireless data, plus alarm notifications on excursions
    The Cypress Envirosystems Blue Box Server (BBS) is an industrial server that collects data from Cypress Envirosystems field devices and enables access to data from a variety of users and interfaces.
    For users with existing plant databases and operator stations, it can forward data seamlessly to integrate with existing plant SCADA or IT infrastructure using a variety of open communications protocols (e.g. OPC, BACnet, ODBC, web services). For users who do not need to connect to an existing infrastructure, the Blue Box Server can also serve as a standalone Web Server and Text Message Server. Standard PC workstations can become operator stations simply by using a web browser. Alarm notifications may be sent to cell phones, PDAs or email.
    • Data collection unit for receiving wireless data from Cypress Envirosystems field devices
    • Each Blue Box Server accommodates up to 255 Cypress Envirosystems field devices (typical)
    • Built in Web Server for easy browser access to data and trending
    • Capability for local storage of data
    • Uses robust and highly optimized industrial DSSS radio and protocol with antenna and frequency diversity
    • Ruggedized enclosure for industrial environments
    • FCC, RoHS and ETSI compliant

    Where To Buy
    Case Study

    WSTM Payback Calculator2 (years)

    WSTM Installed Cost3:
    $850 per unit

    Your Steam Cost:
    per 1,000 lbs.

    Inspection Frequency4:
    times/year

    Inspection Costs5:
    per trap

    Facility Uptime:
    days/year

    Failure Rate6:
    per year

    1. Orifice diameter should not be confused with pipe diameter. Consult the steam trap manufacturer if orifice size is not known.
    2. Calculations are theoretical estimates and actual results will vary. Payback calculation includes avoided lost steam and inspection labor. Benefits from avoided damage resulting from blocked traps are not included in model. The formula used for steam loss in this model is: L=24.24*Pa*D2. Where L=pounds/hour, Pa=Pgauge + Patm , D=orifice diameter. http://www.energy.rochester.edu/efficiency/steam.pdf
    3. Actual WSTM installed cost will vary based on volume and integrator.
    4. Refers to the manual inspections of steam traps that are currently being done at the facility. The frequency determines the potential avoided failure time when using the WSTM.
    5. The frequency and cost of inspection determine the labor savings enabled by the WSTM.
    6. The failure rate per year should be based on historical data from the facility. 15-20% failure rates per year are typical. In unmaintained facilities, the failure rate can be much higher: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/om_combustion.pdf
