Non-Full-Pipe Flow Monitoring Solution: Ultrasonic Doppler Flowmeter + RTU + Solar Power Supply
In pipeline flow monitoring, "non-full-pipe" conditions have always been a tricky issue—water only occupies part of the pipe, the liquid level constantly changes, and conventional flowmeters struggle to measure accurately. If the monitoring point is also in a remote location without access to utility power, data transmission becomes another challenge.
To address a customer's requirement for non-full-pipe flow monitoring in a 1.3-meter pipe, Dayu Electronics, leveraging extensive industry application experience, has tailored a stable and efficient integrated solution combining "sensing + transmission + power supply." This solution perfectly adapts to non-full-pipe conditions and requires no external utility power, easily handling installation environments in the field or where cabling is difficult.
1. Core Sensing: Ultrasonic Doppler Flowmeter
For the complex condition of a 1.3-meter large-diameter pipe that is not full (pipe not completely filled with water), we strongly recommend the ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter. This device operates on the Doppler effect principle, using suspended particles or bubbles in the water as reflectors to accurately measure flow velocity. Additionally, its built-in high-precision pressure-type liquid level sensor obtains real-time water depth data, which, combined with pipe cross-sectional parameters, automatically calculates instantaneous flow and cumulative flow. The device features submerged installation and is unaffected by sediment or impurities, perfectly solving the problem where traditional flowmeters cannot accurately measure under non-full-pipe conditions.
2. Remote Data Transmission: Wireless Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
To enable remote real-time viewing of monitoring data, the solution includes a high-performance wireless remote terminal unit (RTU). This terminal boasts strong data acquisition and compatibility capabilities, seamlessly interfacing with the Doppler flowmeter via standard ports. It supports mainstream wireless communication networks such as 4G/NB-IoT, stably uploading key data like flow rate, flow velocity, and liquid level to the customer's designated monitoring platform. The RTU features an industrial-grade, low-power design with excellent environmental adaptability and signal penetration, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted remote data transmission even in field conditions.
3. Power Assurance: 100W/60AH Solar Power Supply System
Considering the potential lack of stable utility power at the site, we provide a 100W/60AH solar power supply system. This system includes high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar panels, a large-capacity energy storage battery, and an intelligent charge/discharge controller. In sunny conditions, the system quickly generates and stores electrical energy; during overcast, rainy days, or at night, the large-capacity battery ensures a stable DC power supply to the flowmeter and RTU. The entire power supply system is easy to install and maintenance-free, completely eliminating concerns about powering field monitoring equipment.
