Tanks in leisure and tourism complexes such as hotels and resorts, shopping centres, campsites, theme and water parks, etc., are necessary, as in so many other sectors, for the safe storage of fluids. These fluids are usually of two main types: gaseous and liquid fuels and water.
Fuels are needed to generate electricity, either as a main, redundant or emergency supply, and for the production of thermal energy (hot water, food preparation, heating of saunas and swimming pools, etc.). Water, on the other hand, is dedicated to human consumption or to the provision of swimming pools, water attractions, fountains, irrigation, fire protection and cleaning, among other uses. If the storage of such fluids is a necessity, the monitoring and control of the level of the reservoirs containing them is an added value.
Level sensors make it possible to send real-time information on this parameter. In turn, the remote operation of a series of electro-valves makes it possible to maintain it at optimum values, by closing or opening the inlet flow in each case. Flow meters help us to know the differential in and out of the flow. Finally, all these signals can be conveniently integrated into a centralised building management system (BMS).
In this way, hotels, resorts, shopping centres, camp sites, theme parks, water parks and other leisure and tourism complexes that have a BMS with tank monitoring and control, will enjoy all its advantages; such as accurate level measurements and operational autonomy in real time; or better coordination and planning of fillings; or the capacity to identify leaks, etc.
Amusement Logic, thanks to systems such as tank level control in BMS, converts the leisure and tourism complexes, hotels and resorts, parks, shopping centres and campsites that it develops into intelligent facilities at the forefront of operating systems.
