Microprocessor Applications for the Monitoring and Control of Gas Supplies

摘要

The potential of the microprocessor to replace many established electromechanical and pneumatic systems and to solve problems which could be tackled previously only by main-frame computers is discussed. Applications already in use and ideas under development are detailed. These include telemetry systems used for controlling and monitoring gas supplies, controlling the monitoring of a reversible liquid natural gas process for meeting peak demand on a seasonal basis, a system incorporating a microprocessor for gas holder monitoring and control, and a prototype microprocessor control system for gas distribution governors.
