Heating system
Flowmeters of the OMG series can be equipped optionally with a heating system. The manufacturer
recommends heating systems for high-viscosity liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated,
because bearing damage and destruction of the device may otherwise result.
Types:
□ Electrical or fluid heating system
□ Trace heating system by customer
Electric heating system
The electrical heating system for the flowmeter consists of a coiled tubing element. The coiled tubing
element consists of a heating sleeve that encloses the flowmeter housing.
Operating data:
□ Voltage: 230 V AC
□ Frequency: 50 Hz
□ Wire cross-section: 3 x 0.75 mm
2
□ Cable length for coiled tubing element: 1 m
If a coiled tubing element is used, the manufacturer recommends that the flowmeter and heating be
insulated in order to avoid radiation losses.
