D-FL 220 Volume Flow Measuring

General Details

Volume Flow Measuring System

Ultrasonic sensor system to measure the velocity and the volume flow of flue gas or process gas in pipes or ducts.

Suitable for velocity and volume flow measurement:

  • at incinerators in general
  • at facilities for cement production
  • at power stations with gas, oil, coal or co-firing
  • at installations for the incineration of biomass

 

 

Overview

Two identical sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic pulses alternately. The flow velocity of sample gas is precisely calculated from the transit time difference dependant on the direction. Taking into account the cross-section of the stack, the gas temperature and absolute pressure the flow rate is calculated in parallel. 
D-FL 220 performs automatic check cycles and requires extremely low maintenance.

  • In situ measurement, continuous measurement
  • Measurement even in wet or dust-laden flue gas
  • Allows calibration to measure the volume flow
  • Also suitable for thick-walled stone / insulated ducts
  • Automatic zero and reference point check
  • Sensors are purged and are therfore not in contact with sample gas
  • Easy installation, adjustment and maintenance
  • No separate control unit required
  • Normalization of the flow measurements as an option
  • Very low maintenance
