Function ▲
Airflow in a duct creates a pressure difference between the front and rear probes.
The corresponding airflow rate can be defined by measuring the pressure difference sensed by the two crossing sets of averaging probes.
Installation ▲
In order to ensure the accuracy of the airflow measurement the safety distances between the measurement unit and flow disturbances (e.g. bends, T-branches) have to be respected. The necessary safety distances before and after different disturbances are presented in figures below.
The figure below describes also the recommended axial orientation of measurement probes related to bends and T-branches.
Measurement ▲
Connect the measurement tubes to the manometer and read the pressure difference. The airflow rate is calculated using the formula below or by reading the airflow rate directly from the diagram:
NS | k factor |
100 | 5.7 |
125 | 9.4 |
160 | 17.2 |
200 | 27.8 |
250 | 43.9 |
315 | 72.3 |
400 | 127.0 |
500 | 200.0 |
Defining flow measurement with electronic control unit
With model Halton MSD, MU=B airflow can be defined using integrated airflow control unit (VRD3). The actual measured airflow rate (qv) can be defined by the controller feedback signal (U5) and air flow measurement unit's nominal airflow (qv_nom).
Signal | Formula | Controller type and mode | Terminals system neutral | Terminals signal |
0...10 VDC | qv = qv_nom*U5 / 10 | MSD, MU=B Mode 0...10V | 1(GND) | 5 (U5) |
2...10 VDC (default set) | qv = qv_nom*(U5-2) / 8 | MSD, MU=B Mode 2...10V | 1(GND) | 5 (U5) |
Nominal airflow rates of Halton MSD are presented in the table below:
NS | qv_nom |
100 | 70 l/s (252 m3/h) |
125 | 115 l/s (414 m3/h) |
160 | 210 l/s (756 m3/h) |
200 | 340 l/s (1224 m3/h) |
250 | 538 l/s (1937 m3/h) |
315 | 885 l/s (3186 m3/h) |
400 | 1555 l/s (5598 m3/h) |
500 | 2449 l/s (8816 m3/h) |
