Ideal for Chilled Water and Steam Flow Measurement in District Energy Power Plant and Building HVAC Applications
Hemet, CA - Visitors to the 2011 District Energy/CHP Show who need to measure steam or chilled water for either district energy, power plants and/or facility HVAC control systems will find McCrometer's FPI Mag (Full Profile Insertion) and V-Cone Flow Meters provide superior performance with installation flexibility and low maintenance at economical life-cycle costs.
McCrometer's flow experts in Booth 82 will provide free flow evaluations for both meters. The hot tappable FPI Mag Flow Meter is ideal for measuring chilled water in large campus evaporative HVAC systems. The advanced V-Cone Flow Meter, featuring built-in flow conditioning, delivers precision steam measurement in a space-saving design.
FPI Mag for Chilled Water McCrometer's FPI Mag Flow Meter is the industry's only hot tap, full-profile insertion meter. Its unique operating principle relies on multiple electrodes placed across the entire pipe diameter. This design allows the FPI Mag to deliver accuracy unmatched by other insertion mag meters and rivals the performance of full-bore mag meters.
Chilled water is needed for cooling campus buildings. The FPI Mag is ideal for large-scale chilled water institutional applications. It can be installed without interrupting service, de-watering lines, cutting pipe or welding flanges and without heavy equipment or extensive manpower.
The FPI Mag is the industry's most economical flow metering solution for large pipe sizes, reducing installed costs by more than 45 percent. The FPI Mag is available for line sizes from 4 to 138 inches. With highly stable measurement, the FPI Mag features accuracy of ±1% of reading from +0.3 to +20 ft/s. The flow sensor comes pre-calibrated from McCrometer's NIST traceable Calibration Lab and requires no recalibration in the field.
V-Cone for Steam Flow McCrometer's V-Cone Flow Meter is ideal for retrofit installations or new buildings, eliminating many of the common equipment layout problems frequently associated with steam processes within institutional systems. Requiring only 0-3 straight pipe diameters upstream and 0-1 diameters downstream, the V-Cone fits easily into piping systems where long runs of straight pipe are required by Orifice Plates, Vortex, and other technologies are either impractical or unavailable.
The V-Cone's unique self-conditioning design provides an extremely stable flow profile disrupting flow disturbances that affect measurement accuracy. The V-Cone offers an accuracy rating of +0.5% and the repeatability is +0.1% over the entire range. The versatile V-Cone supports line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches with a high turndown ratio which can handle both winter and summer usage without any instrument adjustments.
