Vacorda Instruments is very pleased to provide advanced wireless flow and energy measurement projects to new customers recently.
The application standards are clear. Customers want to be able to use the magnetic column level gauge as a portable stand-alone device, but occasionally they also need to be remotely applied. They need to be able to install the flowmeter on site and have access to the system’s remote maintenance data. This application involves an energy audit task, so a model with thermal energy integration is specified.
For the flowmeter, Huikeda instrument chose the BadgerMeter-DXN magnetic turning column level gauge. The meter is a hybrid device capable of measuring transit time and Doppler flow. In this case, a calorimeter option is provided, which helps calorie thermal energy measurement.
Vacorda Instruments has manufactured and trial-produced a half-inch water flow meter, using an external power supply to achieve 2% accuracy within a flow range of 250:1. Based on Huikeda’s magnetic turning column level gauge, the new equipment can easily meet all necessary water industry performance standards and meet the ideal installation length of 110mm. The existing solid-state water flow meter products are often complicated, have high production costs, and often cannot meet all performance requirements. Huikeda’s patented small-caliber ultrasonic water flow meter technology provides many advantages for this application, including low-power operation, higher flow models and the potential for a wide flow range (400:1), so Titan is seeking to license this technology Develop for suitable business partners.
To ensure that the provided equipment can be used as a handheld device, the connection to the DXN meter must be simple and portable. For this reason, a single-wire Ethernet I/P connection was selected for DXN and connected to our UG1005 logging telemetry system. Through this communication protocol, information can be collected from DXN, including: flow rate, supply and return temperature, and signal strength, to provide all results and diagnostic information in real time, and record data every minute.
