Radar flowmeter

Radar flowmeterBy utilizing the interaction between high-frequency electromagnetic waves and suspended particles in water flow, based on the principle of Doppler effect, the frequency changes of reflected waves can be accurately captured to quickly determine the water flow velocity. The non-contact measurement method eliminates the need for direct contact with water bodies, effectively avoiding sediment abrasion, water grass entanglement, and chemical corrosion, and adapting to complex environments such as turbulence and shallow waters. The device is equipped with an intelligent filtering algorithm that can automatically eliminate interference factors such as water surface fluctuations and wind speed, ensuring stable and accurate data. It is widely used in river monitoring, flood warning, water conservancy engineering, and environmental pollution discharge scenarios.

5、 Product installation diagram

The installation diagram is shown in the figure. On site installation can be carried out with the help of existing building foundations such as bridges and brackets, but it is necessary to ensure that the direction of the radar wave emitted by the flow meter is parallel to the direction of the water flow. The wave emitted by the flow meter is at a 45 ° angle to the water surface, and the default adjustment angle at the factory is 45 °

6、 Installation precautions

1. Installation requires selecting a stable flow state, on a straight channel, away from the gate outlet, and at the channel bend position

2. The installation height should be controlled within 5 meters as much as possible (the closer the distance, the stronger the measurement signal and the more reliable the data)

3. If the water flow rate is below 0.25 and the water ripple is small, there is feasibility for unstable measurement
