Facilities management needs portable flowmeters
The portable KATflow 220 ultrasonic flowmeter from Katronic Technologies is the ideal tool for surveying large facilities such as manufacturing sites, power stations, breweries and hospitals
It is widely recognised that heating, hot water and air conditioning costs constitute a large part of the expenses of any facility.
Therefore, how these utilities are managed and consumed is an important issue within an organisation.
Furthermore, the introduction of the Climate Change Levy has meant that failure to monitor the use of these assets effectively will result in additional costs through taxation on a company's energy bill.
The KATflow 220 clamp-on flowmeter from Katronic Technologies however goes a long way to providing an effective solution in these areas.
By using the KATflow 220 it is possible to easily monitor energy consumption, to perform C.O.P measurements, to check flow rates in circulation system and to monitor the effectiveness of pumps and vales.
Furthermore, as many HVAC and flow systems were built without the inclusion of instrumentation, the portable meter allows the engineer to find out what is actually occurring in a pipeline, rather than basing efficiency calculations on assumed system performance information.
The flowmeter can be used for a variety of applications including: chiller performance testing COP testing, heating system monitoring, energy efficiency measurement, system balancing, CIP measurement, consumption testing on individual supply systems.
The KATflow 220 is suitable for clean and dirty liquids and can be applied to any standard pipe with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 6.5 m.
All measurements are undertaken non-invasively, the sensors are simply clamped onto the outside of the pipe, and this means no loss of time and no maintenance costs.
The KATflow 220 can be supplied with integrated clamp-on temperature sensors in order to monitor energy flows in Watts or Joules.
Furthermore, all measured data can be totalised and stored in the internal datalogger and then transferred to a PC where it is analysed using the supplied graphic software. Request a free brochure from Katronic Technologies ...
