Monitoring Gas Burners with Kobold’s UTS Variable Area Flowmeter

Whenever flow of gases need to be adjusted or monitored the Kobold UTS offers a practical and affordable variable area flowmeter for monitoring gas burners.

Having problems measuring/monitoring difficult media?

Kobold has a turbine wheel flowmeter, the Kobold model DOT, that is perfectly suited to low viscosity applications. Proven turbine wheel technology measures and monitors even difficult media such as distilled water, acids, bases, alcohol and additives as well as several chemical or pharmaceutical compounds.

Heavy-duty magnetic flow meter for mining and wastewater treatment

ELIS has on offer a special type of magnetic flow meter, the ELIS FLONET FS10, with an induction sensor for the precise flow measurement of conductive liquids.  The ELIS FLONET FS10 has a special wear-resistant lining made from natural stone and is fitted with FISHER-ROSEMONT evaluating electronics.

Measuring volumetric flow by means of oscillation

KOBOLD offers their KOBOLD-DOG range of flowmeters that use the unique oscillation principle to measure dry or humid gases even in low pressure applications.

In this measuring procedure, a partial stream of the medium is led into the measuring cell by means of a bypass.  In the measuring cell, the medium flows through a chamber with two flow channels.  A gate allows the stream to flow through either the left or the right channel. The flow creates over-pressure on one side and under-pressure on the other.  The difference in pressure directs the media stream to the other side.  This results in the stream between the two sides oscillating, which sets the medium in the connecting channel into vibration. The frequency of the oscillation is directly proportional to the flow speed.  A detector determines the oscillation in the connecting channel and converts it into an electrical signal.  The signal is processed further in the downstream electronic unit and then displayed or output in another form.
 

Now you can measure very low flows of liquids and gasses

KOBOLD has on offer model KDF/ KDG, low volume flow meters and monitors, now available with shorter (90mm) installation length.

The Kobold KDF / Kobold KDG operate on the suspended float principle with a stainless steel ball, and are available in special versions for liquids and gases (air). The The Kobold KDF / Kobold KDG, with stainless steel housing are installed vertically with flow direction from bottom to top via 1Ž4” thread or hose connection of 8 mm diameter. The needle valve enables an optimal setting of the flow rate. The respective flow rates can be read quickly and easily by a direct view of the measuring tube made out of rugged borosilicate glass.

Precision Filter Monitoring

KOBOLD, represented locally by Instrotech, has on offer their type PMP differential pressure sensor, specifically designed for monitoring filters for air or non-corrosive/aggressive gases, that measures the pressure difference before and after the filter chamber. The compact microprocessor controlled unit is housed in a robust plastic casing with an enclosure class of IP65.  Two hose connections allow for easy connection to the process before and after the filter.

Measuring Air Velocity in HVAC Systems

Kobold has the compact KAH Series airflow velocity transmitters, ideal for accurate ventilation control in Building Automation Systems (BAS) and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications.

Reliable and economical plastic flow meter

Kobold has on offer a plastic flow meter and a monitor; KSK/KSM that work on the ‘suspended float’ measuring principle, where the float glides up and down in a conical measuring tube.

The Kobold KSK/KSM, constructed of polyamide or polysulfone material, easily handle a variety of corrosive media, as well as all neutral media. Their light weight makes them ideally suited for systems which cannot be statically loaded, for example, non-stationary technical systems.  The Kobold KSK/KSM find application in cooling circuits, water treatment and plant engineering.

The standard measuring ranges of Kobold model KSK are 1.5 - 11 … 100 - 1000 l/h water and 0.15 – 0.45 … 20 – 105 Nm³/h air. The Kobold model KSM’s ranges are 15 - 150 … 8000 - 60000 l/h water, 0.8 - 5 … 300 - 2500 Nm³/h air.

 

New ultrasonic water meter for instantaneous measurements

ELIS, manufacturer and supplier of flow meters, has launched a battery-powered ultrasonic water meter intended for measuring flow rate instantaneously and pressure and consumption in water piping (standard EN 14154 for water works), water distribution systems and other industrial applications.

KOBOLD monitors fuel consumption in diesel engines

KOBOLD Instrumentation has on offer their Oval Wheel Flow Meters Model DON for fuel consumption measurement in diesel engines, using the dual flow inputs and the 'A-B' setting.
