Chilled
& Hot Water and Water/Glycol Mixtures
The
Hydro-Flow™ Models 2200 and 3100 insertion flowmeters are
recommended for supply, return, and bypass water systems
larger than 3". These models withstand process
temperatures as low as 32°F (0°C) and as high as 212°F (100°C).
Condensate
and Hot Water
The
Hydro-Flow™ Models 1200, 2200, and 3100 are recommended for
measuring condensate. These models withstand process
temperatures up to 212°F (100°C). As the Hydro-Flow™
vortex sensor contains no moving parts, excessive mechanical
loads on the flowmeter, caused by continuous start-stop flow
(sudden acceleration and deceleration of flow) as condensate
is pumped from a holding tank, do not effect the accuracy or
mechanical reliability of the flowmeter. Additionally, the
Hydro-Flow™ flowmeter with no moving parts will not be
affected by possible iron, salt, or other deposits.
Potable
and General Water
All
Hydro-Flow™ Series flowmeters are recommended for domestic
potable water and general water applications.
Turf
and Landscape Irrigation & Agricultural Water
Hydro-Flow™
flowmeters can be used with irrigation controllers
manufactured by RainBird, Weathermatic, Rainmaster, Motorola,
and TORO. This, coupled with standard features, like the NEMA
6 rating and a turndown ratio of at least 30:1, make
Hydro-Flow™ Series flowmeters ideal for control and
measurement of water in Turf, Lanscape Irrigation, and
Agricultural applications.
Ultrapure
Water, Deionized Water, Acids & Solvents
The
Model 2300 is manufactured from PVDF for flow measurement of
ultrapure water, deionized water, acids, solvents, and other
corrosive fluids, making it an ideal solution for use in
semi-conductor and chemical wet processes. The Model 2300
design has no internal crevices, or "dead space",
eliminating the risk of bacterial growth and contamination.
Unlike traditional paddlewheel and impeller type flowmeters,
which can wear over time or shed particles into the system,
Hydro-Flow's™ no moving parts technology eliminates the
possibility of fluid and process contamination.
The
Model 2300 is designed to retrofit into most +GF+ Signet
fittings without modification of the existing piping system.
For
1" to 3" Line Sizes
- Model
1100 with either PVC Schedule 80 tee fitting or 150#
flanged body for installations with PVC piping.
- Model
1200 with brass tee fitting with threaded connections for
steel and other metal piping.
- Model
2200 with brass tee fitting with threaded connections for
steel and other metal piping for 2" and 3" lines
only.
- The
wet tappable Model 3100 with either a thread-o-let fitting
or saddle for 3" line sizes for flowmeter
installation and removal without having to shut down the
process.
For
4" and Larger Line Sizes
For
Systems Which Can Be Shut Down
Model 2200
with either a thread-o-let or saddle fitting. The Model 2200
has a 1-1/2" NPT connection that can be retrofit to a
1-1/2" threaded bushing.
For
Systems Which Cannot Be Shut Down
For systems which cannot be drained easily, where purging the
air out of the system is difficult or where maintaining flow
is critical and the system cannot be shut down, the wet
tappable Model 3100 is supplied with an isolation valve that
is integrally mounted with the flowmeter. The Model 3100 can
therefore be inserted into and removed from a pipe under full
flow conditions. With the Model 3100, the use of bypass piping
or isolation valves installed before and after the flowmeter
are not required.
