HB-THERM* FLOW-5 Flow Meter Product Catalogue 2017-10

Flow Meter Flow-5 In parallel connected circuits flow changes might remain undetected as the flow of medium is distributed among the remaining channels. External flow meters Flow-5 monitor parallel circuits individually and detect changes early on, before production quality begins to be compromised. The Flow-5 are easy to operate and provide highly accurate ultrasonic measurements. …precise, powerful and efficient …parallel, more power, and still reliable Large scope of application • Smallest flow rates from 0,4 L/min • High temperatures up to 200 °C • Different configurations Constant...

Flow rate measurement When temperature control circuits are connected in parallel in an injection mould, slight changes in the flow rates of the individual channels can affect the temperature in the mould cavity, which in turn can lead to product quality problems. Reliable measurement and monitoring of the flow rates in all parallel-connected temperature control circuits can enable the benefits of this type of connection to be exploited and ensure consistently high-quality finished parts. Depending on the application it can make sense to mount the flow meters on the temperature control unit...

Serial versus parallel connection In applications with serially connected temperature circuits, the flow monitoring of the individual temperature control unit is perfectly adequate because the flow in all channels connected is equal. In contrast to serial systems, parallel connected temperature control circuits offer a lower pressure drop with a larger total flow rate, fast-response temperature control and more even temperature distribution as well as a smaller temperature difference between feed and return flow. Serial connection Parallel connection In order to take full advantage of...
