Mass Flow Measurement in the Power Industry

From Sierra Instruments, Inc.
 

 

Precise, timely measurements of air, fuel, and gases is one way today's utilities can take action of protect themselves against rising costs and comply with increasingly stringent environmental requirements. Sierra thermal mass flow meters and control systems are designed expressly to fill these needs. They can make utilities more cost-effective in a variety of applications.

Utilities operating coal-fired boilers routinely perform air flow tests to balance flow rates between the pulverizer and the burners. These "clean air" test, normally made with a pitot tube, tend to be time consuming.
