Compressed air – Measuring instruments

Flow measurement (dry air) t-mass I 300/500 (thermal) •  Direct measurement in standardized mass or volume flow (Nm 3 /h or SCFM) •  Negligible pressure loss compared with mechanical flowmeters •  High turndown (≥100:1), ideal for identifying leaks •  Low-cost insertion versions (t-mass I 300 for main pipes, t-mass B 150 for submetering) •  Bidirectional versions, e.g., for ring pipelines •  Detection of excess moisture (condensate) and pulsating flow using Heartbeat Technology Flow measurement (non-dry/non-filtered air) Prowirl F/R 200 (vortex meter) •  Direct output of standardized mass flow or corrected volume flow (Nm 3 /h or SCFM) •  High long-term stability: no zero point drift, “lifetime” calibration factor •  Optional version with integrated diameter reduction by 1 or 2 line sizes with the same installation length •  Negligible pressure loss •  With integrated pressure and temperature measurement (optional) for the calculation of mass flow/volume flow Pressure measurement (plant pressure, filter monitoring) Cerabar PMP51B / PMC11 •  For reliable monitoring of the specific power consumption (kWh/Nm 3 ) depending on the pressure entering the system •  Monitoring of the pressure delivered by the system as well as monitoring the filters upstream/downstream from the dryer (differential pressure) Data logging/evaluation Memograph M RSG45 •  For precise monitoring of plants and distribution networks •  Customized overview of the installation •  Visualization and logging of performance data (e.g., specific energy consumption) •  Alarm management •  Communication gateway

In large-scale installations, by measuring the flow of air at the system outlet, it is possible to monitor the total production as well as the consumption of each individual station. The quality of the air will determine whether a thermal flowmeter or a vortex meter should be used. The most important parameters for monitoring compressors are the specific energy consumption (kWh/Nm 3 ), the monitoring of free air delivery (FAD), and leak monitoring in compressed air systems.
