This compressed air flowmeter marks a real technological breakthrough in air flow measurement. It highlights your compressed air consumption. Its aim is to achieve significant energy savings by identifying consuming networks and compressed air leaks. With its unfailing accuracy, this mass flow meter enables you to control and adjust the parameters of your air compressor. As an air flow meter, it is ideal for managing compressor operating load rates, managing the amount of air used in plants, and detecting air leaks in plants.
Efficient use of energy helps control costs and reduce negative environmental impact.
Among industrial utilities, compressed air accounts for up to 20% of a plant's total energy budget. The need for this gas is one of the biggest electricity consumption items, but the price of this energy can be controlled.
Flowmeters are used in compressed air systems to provide a measure of air flow rate. Compressed air systems typically have high leakage rates, high start-up and shut-down times, and other problems that lead to losses and therefore waste. Industrial air mass flowmeter measurement helps to identify areas of excessive use and to better manage the overall flow rate of the compressed air system.
Measuring, analyzing and communicating key plant performance indicators can therefore help raise awareness of effective practices, and thus help control costs, ensure better protection of equipment and achieve savings.
Fuji Electric flowmeters for compressed air consist of two ultrasonic sensors installed on either side of the meter inlet and outlet.
/imageWhen the liquid flows, the ultrasonic waves propagate diagonally from the upstream sensor to the downstream sensor and vice versa in the pipe where the mass flowmeter is positioned.
With one technique, the waves are "carried" by the fluid; with the other, they are "braked".
It therefore takes a different time to pass from the upstream sensor to the downstream sensor. This difference is proportional to the velocity and therefore the flow rate of the fluids.
This time lag enables the fluid flow velocity to be detected and the volumetric flow rate to be calculated as a function of the flowmeter cross-section and flow velocity measurement.
The number of measuring points on compressed air flowmeters must be adapted to the size and use of the system.
The FWD-A ultrasonic flowmeter is an alternative to the thermal mass flowmeter for flow measurement, as it doesn't clog up and is highly resistant to oil-contaminated compressed air. The meter even works in the presence of water droplets (dew point).
Thanks to the combined measurement of flow, temperature and pressure, this ultrasonic compressed air flowmeter provides clear data on compressed air consumption and eliminates any uncertainty in final measurements.
This flowmeter withstands industrial environments and vibrations.
These compressed air flowmeters are ideal for companies operating in industrial environments.
