Heating For Flowmeters In Process Applications
Flowmeters handling viscous liquids face the issue of the liquid solidifying if the downstream process halts and stops liquid flow. This can be addressed by using an external hot water or steam coil to supply heat energy into the flowmeter. This solution offers a lack of thermal control and is not energy efficient.
To overcome this issue, Limpet Heating Co Ltd have developed a heating system specifically for use with flowmeters. The patented AlphaLimpet is attached to the flowmeter with a profiled aluminium adapter block that transmits the heat generated by the AlphaLimpet into the flowmeter.
The heat output is accurate to ±0.8°C and is fully adjustable by the user, requiring only a power supply.
The benefits offered by the AlphaLimpet are:
• no control panel is required.
• accurate temperature control.
• compact design.
• IP67 rating.
• low power consumption.
• low-cost protection of a valuable asset.
• Reduced downtime.
