Like all measuring systems of the FLUXUS series, the F721 Energy measures the volumetric flow rate non-invasively via its clamp-on ultrasonic transducers. Simultaneously, temperature probes monitor the temperatures at the supply and return lines of the heating or cooling system - either non-invasively with clamp-on technology or by use of wetted temperature probes.
From the temperature difference as well as the measured volume flow rate and on the basis of the physical media parameters stored in the internal database of the transmitter, the heating or cooling performance is calculated. With the help of the built-in totalizer function the FLUXUS F721 Energy can also be used as an energy meter.
Further, the FLUXUS F721 Energy can also be equipped with two measurement channels to:
- allow for a complete energetic monitoring of a heat exchanger,
- to simultaneously measures at two heat- or cold carrying lines or
- to allow accurate measurements even at strongly disturbed flow profiles by compensating these.
Another important advantage of FLUXUS F721 Energy lies within its high zero point stability and unrivalled accuracy even at very low flow rates - signal drift and significant measurement uncertainty, as it can often be observed at magnetive-inductive heat quantity meters when measuring at low flow rates, can be ruled out. Moreover, even potential mineral deposits on the inner pipe wall cannot influence the measurement.
The range of applications of the F721 Energy is almost unlimited, not only in terms of pipe dimensions (from 6 mm up to 12.000 mm), pipe materials and their manufactured quality (e.g. badly manufactured GRP pipes or rusty steel pipes) and temperatures (from -190 ° C up to + 650 ° C) but also in terms of flowing media - from process and cooling water, to thermal oils or cryogenic media.
