Engine Coolant Flow Measurement

Flowsonic hf is designed to measure high volume flows of coolant and lubricant in all vehicle types.

Engine coolant flow measurement. By providing a flow restrictor between upstream and downstream ports a differential pressure is created between the upstream and downstream ports. Experimental errors in coolant flow rate and temperature cause variations in the measurement of engine coolant heat rejection. Park your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. Unscrew and remove the pressure cap from the cooling system and keep it aside.

G 1 4 bspp fitting threads and primary materials are a stainless steel body with brass threads. A flow monitor is removably connectable in serial fluid communication with a coolant conduit of an engine cooling system. We supply products worldwide to heavy industry defence motorsport and off highway amongst many other markets that demand robust accurate control and measurement in extreme operating conditions. Coolant flow has a direct relationship to area and an exponential relationship to pressure.

The flow through each orifice in the head gasket can be determined by measuring the pressure drop across each orifice while coolant is being forced through the engine. A flow meter frequency adapter can be used to convert flow meter values to signals similar to fan rpm tachometry. Measurement devices for monitoring coolant flow volume lpm gpm. Most v type engines use cylinder heads that are interchangeable side to side but not all engines.

Check if the coolant is circulating. In order to measure the engine cylinder coolant heat rejection directly experimental errors need to be minimized. Coolant flow radiator and engine block below is an explanation of this system s operation the thermostat just like your body needs to warm up when you begin to exercise your car s engine needs to warm up when it starts its exercise. This model also integrates a thermistor coolant temperature sensor.

Koolance s inline flow meters provide electronic indication of real time coolant flow rate. Low profile inline flow meters with steel or polymer bodies led lighting and straight or 180 degree flow paths. The measured magnitude of this differential pressure allows a microprocessor or similarly configured component to determine. The thermostat provides control for your engine s warm up period.

When the engine is warm visually watch the coolant in the cooling system to see if it is circulating. With an operating flow range of 0 500l min and a compact body flowsonic hf is ideal for in vehicle and lab based coolant circulation measurement. The heat rejection errors can range from 3 to 20 kw and become unacceptably large for precise design. Approximate read range is 2 0 15 lpm 32 240 gph.
