The measurement of the Volume flow Gases and liquids play an important role in many industrial and technical application areas. Calorimetric volume current measurement is a proven method thanks to its accuracy, reliability and flexible usability. But how does the Kalorimetric volume current measurement work and what are your advantages?
Basic principle of the Kalorimetric measuring method
The basic principle of calorimetric volume current measurement is based on the property that the cooling of a heated body depends on the flow speed of the surrounding medium. A calorimetric volume streaming device typically has a temperature sensor and a heating element. The heating element heats one of the two sensors that are immersed in the flowing medium. The flow The medium leads to a heat transport away from the heated sensor. The higher the flow speed, the more cooling. The resulting temperature difference is a measure of the volume flow of the medium.
Advantages of Calorimetric volume current measurement
- High sensitivity: Even low flow speeds can be measured precisely.
- versatility: With its simple construction, these measuring devices can be integrated into a wide variety of systems.
- Low -maintenance: Since there are no moving parts, the wear is low.
- Material independence: The measurement is largely independent of the properties of the medium such as viscosity, electrical conductivity or Pressure.
- Temperature independence: Modern devices can be used via a wide temperature range.
