Engine Coolant Flow Measurement

This model also integrates a thermistor coolant temperature sensor.

Engine coolant flow measurement.

Coolant flow radiator and engine block below is an explanation of this system s operation the thermostat just like your body needs to warm up when you begin to exercise your car s engine needs to warm up when it starts its exercise. Coolant flow and head gasket design. Flowsonic hf is designed to measure high volume flows of coolant and lubricant in all vehicle types. Unscrew and remove the pressure cap from the cooling system and keep it aside.

Koolance s inline flow meters provide electronic indication of real time coolant flow rate. Measurement devices for monitoring coolant flow volume lpm gpm. Coolant flow has a direct relationship to area and an exponential relationship to pressure. The thermostat provides control for your engine s warm up period.

With an operating flow range of 0 500l min and a compact body flowsonic hf is ideal for in vehicle and lab based coolant circulation measurement. By providing a flow restrictor between upstream and downstream ports a differential pressure is created between the upstream and downstream ports. We supply products worldwide to heavy industry defence motorsport and off highway amongst many other markets that demand robust accurate control and measurement in extreme operating conditions. The measured magnitude of this differential pressure allows a microprocessor or similarly configured component to determine.

Approximate read range is 2 0 15 lpm 32 240 gph. Remove the cooling system pressure cap. Check if the coolant is circulating. In order to measure the engine cylinder coolant heat rejection directly experimental errors need to be minimized.

A flow monitor is removably connectable in serial fluid communication with a coolant conduit of an engine cooling system. Low profile inline flow meters with steel or polymer bodies led lighting and straight or 180 degree flow paths. G 1 4 bspp fitting threads and primary materials are a stainless steel body with brass threads. Therefore based on the design of the cooling system and flow through the engine it is very important to double check that the cylinder head is matched to the block and that the head gasket is installed correctly end for end so that all of the cooling.

Experimental errors in coolant flow rate and temperature cause variations in the measurement of engine coolant heat rejection. Most v type engines use cylinder heads that are interchangeable side to side but not all engines. A flow meter frequency adapter can be used to convert flow meter values to signals similar to fan rpm tachometry. Gill sensors controls design and manufacture level position condition and flow sensors for demanding and critical environments as well as engine controls.

The heat rejection errors can range from 3 to 20 kw and become unacceptably large for precise design.
