ULTRAFLOW® 54 DN150-300

Product catalog summary
General Description: The ULTRAFLOW® 54 DN150-300 is a static flow sensor using ultrasonic measuring principles, designed for heating and cooling systems with water as the heat-bearing medium. It is compatible with thermal energy meters like MULTICAL® and uses four transducers for accurate and reliable flow measurement.
Electrical Data: Operates at 3.6 VDC, with low power consumption (<1 W) and a backup SuperCap for short-term power failures. Can be powered by MULTICAL® or a separate supply.
Mechanical Data: Ensures compatibility with various installations, constructed with stainless steel and titanium for durability.
Flow Data: Emphasizes accuracy and stability in flow measurement, supporting nominal flow rates from 150 to 1000 m³/h.
Type Overview and Ordering Details: Provides an overview of ULTRAFLOW® 54 types, including integration with MULTICAL® and standalone units. Accessories like cables and extender boxes are listed.
Installation Guidelines: Includes dimensioning, orientation, and mounting instructions. Covers electrical connections and power supply options with installation examples.
Functional Description: Explains the ultrasonic flow measurement process, signal path, flow calculation, and pulse emission. Covers power consumption, interface connectors, and calibration procedures.
Calibration and Testing: Provides calibration instructions, technical data, suggested test points, and optimization tips. Describes the Pulse Tester for testing and calibration.
Software and Approvals: Includes software information for Kamstrup meters and details on MID and CE-Marking approvals for compliance with standards.
Troubleshooting and Disposal: Offers troubleshooting tips and disposal instructions for proper maintenance and end-of-life handling.
Technical Specifications: Supports signal cable lengths up to 100 meters, meets EMC standards EN 1434:2015 class C, MID E1 and E2, and operates within ambient temperatures of 5 to 55 °C. IP67 rated when installed correctly, supports medium temperatures from 2 to 150 °C.
Pressure and Cavitation Prevention: To prevent cavitation, maintain a minimum static pressure of 1.5 bar at qp and 2.5 bar at qs for temperatures up to 80 °C.
Orientation and Mounting: Can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. The electronics box should be mounted with cable connections pointing downwards to prevent water ingress.
Electrical Connections: Can be connected to a MULTICAL® calculator via galvanically coupled or separated output modules. Maximum cable length varies depending on the output module and connection type.
Maintenance and Repair: The flow sensor can be separated from the calculator for verification. Battery replacement requires a specific lithium battery from Kamstrup A/S.
Pulse Tester Overview: Used during calibration processes, featuring galvanically separated pulse outputs, an integral supply for ULTRAFLOW®, and an LCD display with a counter.
Approvals: CE-marked according to MID and approved for heating and cooling installations, complying with several EU directives.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 6 Pressure loss Pressure loss in a flow sensor is stated as max. pressure loss at qp. According to EN 1434 max. pressure loss must not exceed 0.25 bar unless the energy meter includes a flow controller or functions as pressure reducing equipment. The pressure loss in a meter increases with the square of the flow and can be stated as: Q = kv  Dp where: Q = volume flow rate [m³/h] kv = volume flow rate at 1 bar pressure loss Dp = pressure loss [bar] FCCN FDCN FECN FECP FECR FFCP FFCR FGCR FGDS XXX - code for final assembly, approvals etc. - determined by Kamstrup.
