Fuel tank Engine
Measuring Fuel consumption in diesel engines can be problematic whether it is in a marine, locomotive or bus application -
temperature fluctuations and pulsation can all cause incorrect readings.
Flowtechniks EM range of positive displacement flowmeters are high accuracy flowmeters with a high turn-down ratio,
especially designed for fuel flow measurements.
As it is a displacement flowmeter, temperature has little effect on the readings, but because the oval gears follow every
movement of the fluid flow in whatever direction , pulsation and reverse flow can be catered for and measured if required.
By taking data into our RT12 display/computer the pulses generated from the supply and return can be brought into the display
and a differential calculation taken giving fuel consumption.
The Flowtechnik range features flow meters up to 4 dia with pulse output or mechanical display for measuring fuel accurately
and precisely.
By selecting a Flowtechnik Consumption System, fuel consumption can be monitored in real time. This can show considerable
savings in fuel useage by employing a system where, for example, a more economic gear is used for instance or lower revs are
used.
