If you are one of the many compressed air users striving to reduce their
energy costs in the wake of the Climate Change Levy, then you may be
interested in a new product from PVL that greatly simplifies air flow
measurement, as well as reducing its cost. The portable ClimaAir system
comprises a probe, which is inserted into the centre of the pipe via an
in situ ball valve and coupled to a hand-held display unit. The measuring
end of the probe houses a turbine running on sapphire bearings, plus
temperature and pressure sensors.
Once the probe has been position in the pipe, the display unit prompts
the user to enter the shape of the pipe and its diameter. It then
measures and displays air velocity, temperature and pressure, and
calculates and displays the air flow rate. Readings are logged by the
instrument and can be downloaded to a PC for trending and analysis. PVL
can also supply a continuous monitoring system comprising a desktop
instrument with multiple probe inputs.
