Overview

The product family FLOWSIC100 was designed for emission monitoring tasks. The "H" versions are suitable for stacks with large diameters and applications with high dust content. The "M" versions are especially suited for stacks with medium diameter. The ultrasonic transducers of the "PR" probe type are mounted with fixed path length on one sender/receiver unit (measuring probe). The "AC" versions have an innovative internal cooling and are suitable for gas temperatures up to 450 °C. The purged "Px" versions are used for gases with high concentrations of sticky or wet dust.

Rugged titanium transducers are standard and suitable under difficult conditions. The measuring system consists of 2 sender/receiver units or a measuring probe and a MCU control unit. The MCU is used for input and output of signals, for calculation of volume flow to reference conditions (standardization) as well as user-friendly LCD interface.

Advantages

Exact and reliable emission monitoring - compliant with legal regulations

Monitoring gaseous emissions in plants requiring a permit is an important part of environmental protection. Pollutant emissions can be continuously measured and limit values observed through the use of modern and reliable emission measuring technology. The measuring technology used must comply with the minimum requirements of international standards (e.g. EN 15267 and EPA Performance Specification 6) and prove its suitability by means of an EU type examination. FLOWSIC100 gas flow measuring instrument from SICK meet all these requirements: they combine the advantages of modern ultrasonic measurement with outstanding resistance properties and minimum maintenance.

FLOWSIC100 variants

FLOWSIC100 H
Ideal for large stacks with diameters from 3 to 13 m with high switching capacity
Suitable for applications with high dust levels

FLOWSIC100 M Ideal for small stacks with diameters up to 3.5 m with medium switching capacity

FLOWSIC100 PR Ideal for one-sided installation with stack diameters from 1 m

Exact, reliable, consistent.

Easy installation in measurement channels

SOPAS ET – easy parameterization, configuration and self-diagnosis as well as comprehensive support

Low maintenance costs as there are no moving parts

Easy installation, fully-automated self-monitoring and low maintenance costs - the optimal solution for challenging emission measurements.

Consistent measurement results even under extreme conditions

Fluctuations in the gas composition, pressure, temperature and humidity have no influence on the measurement result. Measurement takes place continuously across the entire duct diameter and supplies representative results. The fully automated gain control function of the FLOWSIC100 guarantees signal transmission. The device periodically validates its functions using the check cycle integrated in the FLOWSIC100, while the integrated self-diagnosis continuously monitors all important function parameters. In the event of impermissible deviations that could affect the measurement result, warning messages are generated.

Powerful and precise.

Measurements without purge air, plug and play from –40°C to 260°C.

Innovative integrating cooling for very high gas temperatures of up to +450°C.
