Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Aquametro from 3G Electric.
What is the operating principle of Aquametro VZO series counters?
The Aquametro VZO series counters operate on the positive-displacement principle. This means that the measuring chamber contains a rotating element that displaces a fixed volume of fluid with each revolution. The rotation is mechanically linked to a counter or pulse generator, allowing for accurate volumetric measurement. This design ensures high repeatability and minimal internal leakage, making it suitable for precise fuel consumption monitoring in industrial burner systems.
What types of fluids can be measured with Aquametro VZO counters?
Aquametro VZO counters are designed for mineral oils, fuel oils, and related fluids. They are suitable for a range of viscosity grades and operating temperatures typical of commercial and industrial heating systems. The materials used in the construction are compatible with these fluids, ensuring long-term reliability. For specific fluid compatibility, it is recommended to consult the technical datasheet or contact 3G Electric for guidance.
Do Aquametro VZO counters provide pulse output for integration with control systems?
Yes, certain models of the Aquametro VZO series, such as the VZO15 with pulse output and the VZO8 with impulse output, are equipped with a pulse generator that produces electrical pulses proportional to the flow. These pulses can be integrated into building management systems, burner controllers, or standalone data loggers for remote monitoring and data logging. This allows for precise tracking of fuel consumption and system optimization.
What are the available sizes in the Aquametro VZO series?
The Aquametro VZO series includes several sizes to accommodate different flow rates and pipe dimensions. Common models include the VZO8, VZO15, and VZO20. The VZO8 is typically used for smaller flow rates, while the VZO15 and VZO20 are suited for larger applications. Each size is available in various configurations, including with or without pulse output, to match specific system requirements.
How are Aquametro VZO counters installed in fuel supply lines?
Aquametro VZO counters are designed for direct installation into fuel lines. They feature threaded connections that allow for straightforward mounting in the fuel supply path. The compact design ensures minimal space requirements. It is important to install the counter in a location that allows for proper flow direction and accessibility for reading or maintenance. Detailed installation instructions are provided with the product.
What maintenance is required for Aquametro VZO counters?
Aquametro VZO counters are designed for low maintenance due to their positive-displacement design, which has minimal moving parts in the flow stream. Regular inspection for leaks and verification of calibration are recommended. The counters may require periodic cleaning or replacement of seals, depending on the fluid quality and operating conditions. For specific maintenance intervals, refer to the manufacturer's documentation or contact 3G Electric for support.
