Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Air : TRX Series

Feature
- Pressure loss = "0", therefore, energy loss = "0"
- Strong resistance to oil and vapor provides high durability
- Measurement and output of forward flow and reverse flow possible
- Wide range ability with ratio of 1:60
- Battery power supply makes power line construction unnecessary
- Easy-to-read display configuration
- Various output functions enable system maintenance and control
Measurement principle
“Propagation time difference” method superior in repeatability

Examples of applications
1. For “Visualization” control of load factor at compressor operation

2. For energy specific unit management by measuring air consumption amount of each building (Factory A, Factory B, etc.) on a factory’s premises.

3. For detection and countermeasure of factory air leakage

4. Monitoring of each aeration blower’s air amount
