The Phoenix is a non-contact radar flowmeter specially designed for rivers and large channels.
Its 32° opening angle allows it to see a full spectrum of velocities at the surface. In addition, it incorporates advanced analysis and processing algorithms to provide very high measurement accuracy for a wide range of flows and different sites.
Applications
- Stream flow measurements, flood monitoring, flood prevention
- Flow measurements at the inlet /outlet of wastewater treatment plants (large channels)
- Irrigation channels
- Hydroelectric power plants
Main benefits
- No contact with the effluent
- No maintenance
- Does not require civil engineering work
- Operational even in flood situations
- Large velocity range (bi-directional): +/- 10cm/sec to +/- 15 m/sec
- Fixed station (mains or solar panel powered) and stand-alone portable (battery powered) versions
- Digital connection (Modbus) or 4-20 mA/Pulses
- Various telemetry solutions offered
Specifications
- Bidirectional velocity measurements using non-contact Doppler Radar technology
- Height measurement by Ultrasonic sensor, Radar sensor, bubble sensor or others
- Spectral analysis of the velocity distribution for the calculation of the mean velocity on the wetted surface.
- Takes into account preliminary measurements taken by the profiler (in river: ADCP or velocimeter)
- Velocity accuracy: +/- 1 %; level accuracy: depends on sensor
- Distance from water: 0.5 to 35 m
- Full IP68 sealing (no gasket, no screws)
- Rugged polyurethane cable and housing
- Transmitter-Display IFQ Monitor, with data logger function
- Can be used with any PLC or telemetry system, directly or via IFQ Monitor
