Ultrasonic flowmeter

The UK beet sugar industry is committed to achieving a 30% reduction in the amount of energy used to manufacture each tonne of granulated sugar by 2020 and, in an effort to use energy as efficiently as possible, there is a focus on the compressed air supply.

With the portable Fluxus G601 CA Energy flowmeter, clamp-on ultrasonic transducers are mounted on the outside of the pipeline, so measurements do not affect plant operation in any way. The ability to measure quantities of compressed air drawn off by individual consumers, and the ability to trace leakages, form the basis for optimising the compressed air supply. The Fluxus G601 CA Energy can also be used for simple flow measurements of liquids and heat flow rates.
