Wheel flowmeter measures high-temperature oils
The TRP Pelton Wheel high-temperature turbine flowmeter (photo) is designed to monitor and control the cooling and process efficiency of high- and ultra-high-temperature oil used in heating and cooling circuits. With accuracies of 2.5% and repeatability of 0.5%, the device provides cost-effective measurement of oil volume flowrates in heating and cooling circuits, even in applications with contaminated or extremely hot media. Four flow ranges are offered across all meter sizes from½ to 1 in.: 75 to 7.5 gal/min, 2.5 to 25 gal/min, 4 to 40 gal/min and 8 to 75 gal/min. Media temperature range for non-Ex zones is –76 to 662°F and –4°F to 464°F for Ex zones. The meters can tolerate operating pressures up to 290 psi and has a 303 stainless-steel housing. — AW-Lake Co., Oak Creek, Wis.
