2.1 System features and areas of application
The FLOWSIC100 measuring system conducts simultaneous measurements of the gas
flow rate and temperature. The volume flow under actual conditions can be calculated and
output from the gas flow rate by including the gas temperature and internal duct pressure
in the standard state.
Features and benefits
● Modular design
By selecting the right modules, you can combine the components to suit your applica-
tion and fulfill a wide range of requirements. As a result, the FLOWSIC100 can be used
for very many applications.
● Integrated measurement of the gas flow rate across the duct diameter, independent of
the pressure, temperature, and gas composition
● Digital processing of measured values ensures high accuracy and low susceptibility to
interference
● Self-test by means of automatic check cycle
● No pressure-reducing fittings in the gas flow, which ensures the gas flow is not dis-
rupted
● Easy to install
● Low wear and tear by selecting the most suitable modules for the application
● Minimum maintenance requirements
Applications
The measuring devices in the FLOWSIC100 series can be used to measure gas flows in
pipelines, flue-gas and exhaust gas ducts, as well as chimneys. If configured accordingly,
the devices can measure the flow rate in both clean and raw gases upstream of filter
installations. As a result, applications range from determining the volume flow in open and
closed-loop control systems used in process control to flow monitoring for emission
measurements.
The system is suitable for use in the following areas:
● Operating measurements and emissions monitoring in:
– Energy supply: Power station and industrial boilers for all energy sources
– Waste disposal: Waste and residual waste incineration plants
– Basic industries: Systems in the cement and steel industry
● Process control engineering
– Chemical industry
– Drying and processing systems in the pharmaceutical, food, and foodstuffs indus-
tries
– Heat treatment and extraction plants used in plastics processing
● Flow measurements in ventilation, heating, and air-conditioning systems in both
industry and agriculture
Certification
The measuring system complies with the requirements defined in the following standards:
DIN EN 15267-1: 2009, DIN EN 15267-2: 2009, DIN EN 15267-3: 2008, DIN EN 14181:
2004 and DIN EN ISO 16911-2.
The measuring system is suitable for use in plants requiring approval (13th BlmSchV, 17th
BlmSchV, 30th BlmSchV, TI Air) as well as plants of the 27th BlmSchV.
