Significantly reduce natural gas consumption

Flow sensors from ipf for continuous measurements

Due to persistently rising energy costs, savings in this area are a top priority for almost all companies, especially when it comes to electricity and natural gas. However, if you want to reduce the cost of natural gas consumption, you first need to know where the potential sources of unnecessarily high consumption are located in a company. Flow sensors from ipf electronic provide all the necessary data and other valuable information.

For continuous consumption measurements of natural gas, so-called insertion sensors such as the SY87F001 and flow sensors with an integrated measuring section such as the SY90E293 are available. Both solutions are suitable for easy retrofitting in existing piping systems. Due to their simple installation and handling, insertion sensors are particularly suitable as an entry-level solution. For example, the SY87F001 can be installed quickly and easily under pressure via a ½" ball valve and is ready for instant use after parameterization. Flow sensors such as the SY90E293 already integrate a measuring section for pipe cross-sections of

R ¼" to R 2". This not only makes installation easier, but also ensures that the flow to the sensor elements in the device is always optimal, regardless of the installation situation, so that reliable measurement results are always obtained.

Insertion sensors such as the SY87F001 have a probe length of 220mm (up to a maximum of DN80") and are pressure-resistant up to a maximum of 50bar. Flow sensors with integrated measuring section such as the SY90E293 have a pressure resistance up to a maximum of 16bar. Both solutions are parameterized via a TFT display, whereby the desired units (m3/h, m3/min, l/min, l/s, kg/h, kg/min, kg/s, cfm) can be freely selected. The devices have an analog output (4...20 mA), a galvanically isolated pulse output and a Modbus interface for connection e.g. to energy management systems, building management systems, PLC (programmable logic controller), SCADA, etc. The sensors are also optionally available with an Ethernet (Modbus/TCP optionally with PoE) or an M-Bus interface.

With the flow sensors from ipf electronic, potential savings can be specifically identified in order to take effective measures for lower natural gas consumption with sustainably reduced energy costs. In addition, the solutions create the necessary transparency for even better calculation of future consumption. The measurement data transmitted via the Modbus interface or the analog output can be stored, evaluated and documented.
