MAINTENANCE- FREE FLOWMETERS FOR REAL TIME FLOW CONTROL
The latest addition to the established range of Flo-Dar open channel flow meters is an ATEX certified portable system with a built-in GPRS internet data transfer facility. Now available through flowmeter specialists FLOWLINE, this new model enables the entire system to be mounted in the zoned area, with nothing above ground and provides operators with a range of important features and benefits.
For example, unlike conventional sensors it does not require weekly maintenance visits, it has a rechargeable Li battery that can be charged in the hazardous area, operators have no contact with the flow during installation, no profiling is required and it has field replaceable / interchangeable sensors and monitors. Also, the problems sometimes associated with other open channel devices, such as sensor fouling, are eliminated.
The system, which is certified to ATEX Zone1 and even works in surge flow conditions, is suitable for all shapes of pipes and channels from 100mm upwards.
Flo-Dar is ideally suited for remote monitoring applications and can be supplied with GSM and GPRS compatible modems to enable low-cost data transfer and always on monitoring. It can be supplied with various standard logging and telemetry packages, local displays can also be specified as well as signal outputs to control functions such as chemical dosing. This ensures a very versatile system which is suitable for both fixed and temporary installations.
Typical applications for Flo-Dar radar flowmeters include general process and industrial flow measurement applications, municipal, water and waste treatment sites or wherever highly accurate, open channel flow measurement is needed, regardless of difficult conditions.
