Description
Measurement of flow velocity and/or flow rate at high temperatures up to +350° is extremely important in many areas of production. The requirements for a stationary sensor are very high. Key parameters when choosing a device may include: mechanical strength, accurate and stable measurement, ease of installation, a wide range of measurable values, and the ability to measure temperature. The SS 20.650 flow sensor meets all these requirements. Measuring gas flow at high temperatures can be relevant in the following industrial sectors:
Combustion control in industrial furnaces
Innovative ceramic products are increasingly used in the medical, automotive, and environmental industries. These products have diverse requirements, and one of the conditions for their fulfillment is the proper execution of firing processes. The SCHMIDT® SS 20.650 sensor is specially designed to measure combustion air at temperatures up to +350°. Direct flow measurement without additional sensors
ensures stoichiometric accuracy during combustion.
Drying process monitoring
In coating technologies, drying processes play an important role in improving product quality and avoiding defects. The SS 20.650 flow meter allows control of the drying process by regulating air flow. Simultaneous temperature measurement also plays an important role. Another advantage of these sensors is the lack of maintenance requirements, which can be important since the devices are often installed in areas with difficult access.
Air compressor control
In the operation of modern compressors, situations may arise where the temperature can rise up to +200°. At the same time, the sensor must operate in a high-pressure environment, with pressure values reaching up to 16 bar. Thanks to the wide measurement range of the SS 20.650 flow meter (from 0.2 to 60 m/s), you can monitor compressor energy consumption and detect leaks. Additionally, the measurement accuracy allows you to correctly calculate the amount of compressed air.
