Battery-Powered Electromagnetic Flowmeter With Low Power Consumption And Remote Data Transmission
This is a special type of electromagnetic flowmeter designed for situations where no external power supply is available. It is powered by a built-in high-performance lithium battery and features an ultra-low power consumption design, enabling continuous operation for several years (typically 3 to 6 years or even longer). It is an ideal solution for remote and field flow monitoring in municipal water supply, agricultural irrigation, energy metering, and other fields.
Product Advantages
- True passive operation: No external power supply is required, and the installation location is unrestricted. It is particularly suitable for outdoor areas without municipal power, where cable laying is difficult or costly.
- Easy installation and low cost: As there is no need to consider power supply lines, installation is very fast and simple, significantly reducing wiring costs and engineering complexity.
- High precision and reliability: Advanced excitation technology and signal processing algorithms are adopted, ensuring low power consumption while achieving measurement accuracy of ±0.5%, ±0.2%, or even higher.
- Data recording and storage: Usually equipped with large-capacity storage, it can be used as a flow data logger, capable of long-term recording of instantaneous flow, cumulative flow, forward and reverse flow, daily and monthly flow, and other historical data.
- Powerful communication functions:
- On-site meter reading: Supports wireless methods such as infrared, Bluetooth, or NFC. Staff can use handheld devices to read data on-site at close range without opening the cover or connecting wires.
- Remote transmission: This is one of its core functions. It typically integrates wireless communication modules such as NB-IoT, LoRa, GPRS, or 4G, enabling data to be uploaded to cloud platforms or monitoring centers at regular intervals or in real-time, facilitating remote monitoring.
Application scenarios
- Urban and rural water supply network district metering (DMA): Installed in valve wells on urban streets to monitor regional flow and leakage.
- Agricultural water metering: Installed on channels or pipes in farmlands to charge and manage water resources.
- Energy management systems: Measure the cold/hot water consumption of central air conditioning systems, installed in the pipe wells of buildings.
- Groundwater monitoring: Monitor the extraction volume of underground water resources.
- Power-free point monitoring in industrial processes: Monitor the flow at remote or power-free process points within factories.
- Environmental monitoring: Monitor the flow of wastewater or clean water at enterprise discharge outlets or river sections.
Battery-powered electromagnetic flowmeters are outstanding representatives of modern Internet of Things technology in the field of flow measurement. They have traded off "real-time continuity" for ultimate convenience and flexibility, solving the long-standing core difficulty of flow monitoring in power-free environments.
