Intelligent Flow Meter for Efficient Control in Thermal Installations

Title:

ISV129 – Intelligent Flow Meter for Efficient Control in Thermal Installations

Duration:

17/11/2020 – 17/2/2021

VIDA Challenge:

Resource-efficient food processing

Summary:

Poor installation that works with thermal carrier fluids generate a lot of waste in the forms of water, energy and raw materials. This project aims to develop a new insertion thermal diffusivity flow meter which once incorporated with develops algorithms will be able to detect the quality of the working fluid so that scale, corrosion and malfunction can be detected and preventive action can be taken before a problem can arise. Successors de Carmelo Perez Martinez SL can help fill the market gap between the supplier of the equipment who may not know the working fluids and the owner of the installation who may not know what to measure or what parameters or cut-off values should be considered. This ensures significant resource savings while improving food process safety.
