Advantages of ultrasonic flow measurement for applications with water

DDM Sensors’ ultrasonic flow meters provide key advantages for water flow measurement.

  • High precision

  • Low maintenance

  • Versatility

The patented “Time-of-Flight” technology enables precise measurements, even at the lowest flow rates from 2 ml/min. A signal-to-noise ratio of up to 3000:1 ensures a stable zero-point condition and minimizes measurement errors. Measurement remains unaffected by pressure, temperature, conductivity, and water viscosity. The high measuring accuracy of the devices ensures optimum results.

With no moving parts, these devices are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. There is little pressure loss due to cross-sectional constriction.

The devices are suitable for both high-purity and contaminated liquids, making them ideal for various water applications. The wide flow range allows for accurate measurement at both minimal and high flow rates.

Typical applications with water

The ultrasonic flow meters from DDM Sensors are ideal for a wide range of water applications:

Monitoring of cooling circuits

In cooling circuits, such as those found in the automotive industry and in mechanical engineering, monitoring the flow rate plays a crucial role in the efficiency and functionality of the system. Correct fluid flow ensures uniform cooling and prevents overheating. Ultrasonic flow measurement offers a precise and reliable method of monitoring the flow of coolants such as water or special cooling liquids.

  • Automotive industry: In vehicles, ultrasonic flow meters monitor engine cooling circuits and components such as air conditioning systems and EV batteries. The precise flow of coolant ensures that the engine and other sensitive parts do not overheat. Ultrasonic sensors are ideal as they do not come into contact with the coolant and therefore do not cause any contamination or deposits in the measuring system.
  • Mechanical and plant engineering: Ultrasonic flow meters are also important in industrial applications, such as machines and large systems that require intensive cooling. They are often used in cooling systems that are required in production processes or in the manufacture of machine components. Precise monitoring of the coolant flow helps to prevent damage to machines or systems caused by inadequate cooling.

Laboratory technology and research

Ultrasonic flow meters are used in a wide range of applications in laboratory technology and research, particularly due to their precise, non-contact measurement of flow velocities.

  • Research into hydrodynamics: Ultrasonic flow meters are used in a wide range of applications in laboratory technology and research, particularly due to their precise, non-contact measurement of flow velocities.
  • Chemical and biotechnological research: In chemical and biotechnological research, ultrasonic flow measurement is often used to monitor the exact dosage and flow of reagents in reactors. This is crucial for the synthesis of pharmaceutical products, for example, where very precise flow control is required to ensure consistent reaction conditions. The flow measurement of liquids is also used in biological systems to examine cell cultures and bioreactors.
