In order to determine the flow of compressed air (and other gases) with the greatest degree of accuracy, it is essential to know:-

A) THE AIR PRESSURE
B) THE AIR TEMPERATURE
C) THE AIR VELOCITY
D) THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE PIPE


The ClimaAir can determine A, B, & C in seconds, and when D is entered on the keypad the ClimaAir Terminal displays the actual flow-rate in m³/hr

PRESSURE + TEMPERATURE + VELOCITY + PIPE DIAMETER
= AIR FLOW IN M³/HOUR

"The ClimaAir has been described as the Voltmeter & Ammeter of the Compressed Air Industry"

Measuring liquid flow is easy - All you need is a stopwatch and a bucket !

Measuring the flow of compressed air poses a much different problem and its no use just reading the manufactures label on the side of the compressor, as many of our ClimaAir users have found that this can be grossly (and costly) misleading.

Taking a reading with the ClimaAir is easy. As long as a simple 3/4" ball valve is pre- fitted to the existing pipework, the ClimaAir's hot-tap adaptor can be attached without loss of air as there is no need to shut off the supply or to turn off the system

The ClimaAir automatically measures the velocity of the air as well as the pressure and temperature and gives the combined output in m³/hr. All the operator has to do is key in the pipe diameter.

ClimaAir with 'hot-tap' Adaptor

The ClimaAir system comprises a probe which is inserted into the centre of the pipe through an in-situ ball valve, coupled with a hand-held display unit. The 'business end' of the ClimaAir probe is a precision laser cut turbine, mounted on sapphire bearings to ensure accurate measurement of air velocity. The probe also incorporates a Pt100 temperature sensor and an absolute Pressure Transmitter.

In use, once the probe has been inserted into the pipe,with the aid of the hot-tap adaptor, the display unit prompts the user to enter the shape of the pipe and its diameter. It then measures and displays air velocity, temperature and pressure, and then calculates and displays the air flow rate accurately in m³/hr.

The display unit provides sophisticated data logging capabilities, and has inputs for two probes, and outputs for a printer and to a PC. Communication software is also available to enable logged measurements to be easily transferred to any host trend analysis package.

As well as the hand-held device, a multi-input desktop instrument is also available offering additional data logging capabilities, and this can be coupled with a comprehensive range of fixed-in-place flow probes to provide continuous, round the clock monitoring in critical applications.

The ClimaAir provides a highly effective, low cost solution to making the accurate flow rate measurements which are essential saving energy in relation to compressed air. Plan-B's Steve Moorey comments: "Making sure the compressor itself is running efficiently is certainly important, but when it comes to saving energy it's really only half the story. Perhaps more important is ensuring you're making the most efficient use of the compressed air that's being generated, But finding out exactly how much compressed air is being used, and where it's being wasted, has traditionally been very expensive and very difficult to determine. Now we have a simple and highly accurate tool to do just that.
