Water Monitoring in Chiller System

In a cooling tower or industrial chiller, a Paddle Wheel flow meter plays a crucial role in monitoring and controlling the flow rate of the cooling water or refrigerant. It ensures that the correct amount of fluid is circulating through the system, optimizing heat exchange efficiency and preventing overheating. By accurately measuring the flow, the flow meter helps maintain proper operating conditions, detect potential issues such as blockages or leaks, and improve the overall performance and energy efficiency of the cooling system.

Although onshore chemical injection systems are installed on land, at ground level, and in more stable conditions, they are still exposed to weather, varying temperatures, dust, and potential exposure to industrial pollutants. The JV-BB gear meter is still the best choice for its high accuracy and repeatability for consistently precise dosing of the valuable chemicals. Additionally, they handle a wide range of viscosities and flow rates.
