The Importance of Accurate Measurement in Industrial Processes
Accurate measurement at every stage of industrial production is crucial, particularly in the emerging solar thermal power generation sector. Whether using heat transfer oil or molten salt as the heat transfer medium, solar power plants require regular flow measurements of pipeline media to monitor operational efficiency.
Ultrasonic flow meters are highly suited for high-temperature applications due to their unique design and operational features:
Temperature Resistance
Ultrasonic flow meters are classified into low, medium, and high-temperature models.
For fluids above 180°C, a waveguide system can be added to manage heat dissipation, reducing the temperature at the transducer to 180°C.
The highest system configuration supports measurements up to 600°C, enabling direct measurement without altering the medium's temperature.
Key Features
Multiple Channels: Adjustable for precision needs.
Uninfluenced by Flow Conditions: Ultrasonic technology is immune to flow patterns and environmental factors.
Real-Time Flow Measurement: Provides instant and accurate results.
Non-Intrusive Maintenance: Insertion-type sensors allow online removal without contacting the medium.
Robust and Durable: No moving parts, ensuring low maintenance and long service life.
Versatility: Available in both integrated and split installation designs, with a variety of sensor options.
