Hoffer Flow Controls Flow Measurement Systems Gain Approval from the U.S. Navy Sea Systems Command

The “Energy Dashboard” uses an integrated condition assessment system, which ties into other shipboard computer software systems making sailors aware of how certain engineering plants line-up and the overall effects on fuel consumption rates. Sailors will now have access to instantaneous net fuel consumption rates. This will provide ships'' companies with the ability to adjust their navigational habits to maximize fuel efficiency. The “Energy Dashboard” is anticipated to be fielded in all US Navy surface ships by 2017.

The approved Hoffer flow products for use on the DDG51 class ships include two different flow meter sizes and a model CAT3 intelligent signal conditioner. The flow meters provide a linearity of +/-0.1% of reading. The flow meters and signal conditioners have been tested to meet MIL requirements for shock and vibration.

Hoffer Flow Controls has a long history of providing high quality, highly accurate turbine flow meter systems to the Navy and other area''s of the U.S. defense and aerospace industries. For more information please contact us
