Reliable flow monitoring of refrigerant liquids using Titan Enterprises’ 900 and 1000 series turbine flow sensor devices helps keep data storage cool.
Titan’s standard and OEM custom flowmeter designs meet the demands of specialist coolant flow applications, where reliable, effective cooling arrangements are vital to prevent critical equipment from overheating.
Reliable flow monitoring of refrigerant liquids is a vital requirement for cooling equipment used in data centre facilities. Big data storage and electricity production centres need to mitigate against problems caused by over-heating, such as degradation of operational performance, damage to critical equipment and shutdowns.
Using steel reinforced polymer components, the low inertia turbines of the sensors are ideal for measuring the low viscosities (0.3 to 0.4 centipoises) encountered with volatile refrigerant fluids measured in liquid form. Employing selected sensors, the pressure drop through the turbine flow meter has been designed to prevent gas break-out and ensure reliable measurement.
Both the 900 and 1000 series flowmeters are designed to give +/- 0.1% repeatability across 6 flow ranges from 0.05 to 15 litres per minute, and up to 30 litres per minute in the 1000 series. The competitive price and chemically resistant components make these suitable for flow metering a range of temperatures from -25°C to +125°C. The polymer components of the flow meters are moulded in an FDA approved grade of PVDF and mounted in a 316 stainless steel body.
Titan also partners with OEM customers to develop bespoke cool liquid flow meters outside of its standard range of flow sensors.
