Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides detailed information about the VCEM5000/5100 Flue Gas Flow Monitor by CODEL International Ltd. It highlights the features, specifications, and operational principles of these devices designed for continuous monitoring of flue gas flow.

Product Overview
The VCEM5000/5100 series are advanced flow monitors that utilize non-contact infrared sensing technology to measure the velocity of stack gases. These devices are suitable for hot and dirty gases, offering continuous measurement without moving components, thus ensuring high availability and low maintenance.

Key Features
  • Non-contact technology for operation on hot, dusty, and aggressive gases.
  • Direct measurement of bulk gas velocity.
  • Capability to operate at gas temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
  • Automated span checks for high and low spans.

System Integration
The VCEM5100 is a standalone unit that can be integrated into existing or proposed Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS), while the VCEM5000 is designed for use within a CODEL SmartCEM System.

Technical Specifications
  • Infrared correlation operating principle.
  • Accuracy of +/- 2% and linearity of +/- 1% of measurement.
  • Measuring range selectable from 0-1 to 0-50 m/s.
  • Ambient temperature range from -20°C to +70°C.
  • Construction from corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated aluminium, sealed to IP66/IP67 standards.

Computation of Total Pollutant Release
The document outlines the method for calculating total pollutant release, emphasizing the importance of consistent measurement bases to avoid errors.

System Components
  • Data Display Unit (DDU) with a 32-character alpha-numeric back-lit LCD.
  • Signal Processor Unit (SPU) and Power Supply Unit (PSU) constructed from epoxy-coated aluminium.

Compliance and Certification
The devices comply with EMC 89/336/EEC and Low Voltage 73/23/EEC directives, with EN14181 QAL1 TUV Certification pending.

The VCEM 5000/51000 represents the latest generation of CODEL’s unique flow monitors. These systems measure the velocity of stack gases using a highly accurate time of flight measurement that is derived from a cross correlation analysis of the infra-red emissions of the turbulent gas. Two robust infrared detectors are used for the prime sensing, mounted on the stack or duct typically 1m apart in the direction of flow. High efficiency air curtains are fitted to considerably extend the time between maintenance periods and window cleaning (typically 1 year). This technology offers significant benefits...

We reserve the right to modify designs without prior notice The method used is similar in principle to the technique of flow measurement by the injection of chemical dye or radioactive tracers, where the velocity is derived from the transport time of the tracer between two measuring points a known distance apart. Instead of an artificial tracer being added, the naturally occurring turbulence of the gas stream is used as the tracer....
