Real-World Applications


Engine Coolant Testing

The TRG Turbine paired with the EDGE sensor is ideal for powertrain test engineers testing vehicle performance while conducting coolant loop tests for the oil cooler, heater cores, head bleeds, and intercoolers of powesports engines. TRG Turbines provide an economical solution and the EDGE sensor’s Bluetooth interface allows for easy setup.

Cooling System in Recycling Facility

Turbine flow meters play a crucial role in the facility’s cooling system by measuring water flow in the “cold” and “hot” sides of the condenser heat exchanger. The TRG-11.25 turbine meter monitors the “cold” side, while the TRG-11.75 meter measures the “hot” side. These meters, integrated with sensors and converters, provide flow data to a PLC analog input channel. This data is then used within PLC logic to establish flow parameters, ensuring precise process control of the heat exchange system.

 

 

Fire Retardant Foam on Fireboats

TRG turbine flow meters are essential on fireboats for accurately dispensing foam to extinguish fires. The foam, mixed with water via a 3-way selector valve controlled by PLC logic, requires precise flow measurement to maintain a target ratio of 3% foam by volume. AW-Lake TRG-11.500 (½”) and TRG-1110 (2”) Turbine Flow Meters monitor foam flow, ensuring accuracy despite the foam’s low viscosity.

Commercial Brewing – Straining Process

The TRG turbine flow meter is vital in brewing, monitoring hydraulic fluid in a robotic rake that settles mash at the vessel’s bottom. It ensures high accuracy and repeatability over a wide flow range, maintaining uninterrupted rake movement and consistent product quality. This precision enables the effective and efficient separation of liquid from solid material during the brewing process.
