WATERFLUX 3070

New features and options / Measurement solutions for the water/wastewater industries

Introduced in 2009, the WATERFLUX battery powered water meter remains a very successful product in the drinking / clean water market, and is continuously updated to keep up with modern requirements. At IFAT 2016, KROHNE introduces several new features and options for WATERFLUX 3070. The booth in hall A5, 343/442, will also highlight measurement solutions provided for e.g. stormwater management or water catchment as well as dedicated services for the water and wastewater industry.

In terms of installation, the polycarbonate converter housing with protection class IP68 rating is now standard for both compact and remote version, e.g. for temporarily flooded measuring pits. It features IP68 MiL connectors that do not require wiring on site, and a small installation footprint to fit into electrical cabinets.

For locations where mains power is available, WATERFLUX 3070 is now available with an external FlexPower unit to connect the meter to a 9…30V DC or 100…230V AC power source on site, e.g. electrical grid, solar panel or a small windmill. The FlexPower module also has an internal battery that serves as a battery backup in case the external power source fails.

The integrated pressure and temperature sensor is a new option to allow the use of WATERFLUX for various tasks in drinking water networks: Flow and pressure measurement data are an important input for pressure monitoring, maintaining the water balance, district zoning (DMA), and for leak detection in drinking water networks when comparison of pressure and flow values is used as method. KROHNE now offers an integrated solution for this application, eliminating the installation and wiring of external pressure sensors. The pressure sensor can provide an alarm when the programmed upper or lower limit is reached. The same applies for the integrated temperature sensor that can serve for quality monitoring of potable water, again without the need to open the line a second time. Alarms can be generated via the status output or via Modbus when critical limits for pressure and or temperature are exceeded. The integrated pressure and temperature sensor is available for diameters DN50…200 / 2…4".
