Application

• Rectangular concrete channel, 2.4 x 1.0 m (w x h)
• Partially filled
• No power supply

Definition of tasks

• Detection of the discharge volumes from pit water purification system
• Automated regular remote data transmission
• Installation without additional constructions in existing channel
• No switching cabinet desired (risk of vandalism)

Solution

• The compact solar-powered measurement station Type NivuLog SunFlow with integrated solar controller, rechargeable battery and GPRS modem has been selected.
• The flow velocity Doppler sensor with integrated pressure cell for flow level detection has been installed on a plate on the channel bottom and was directly connected to the measurement station without using additional clamping connections.
• The values recorded (flow velocity, level, temperature and the flow rate calculated on site) are transmitted to the D2W Internet portal via GPRS to save the data.
