February 5, 2014 - Bronkhorst releases T23 mass flow monitor and controller that works on the basis of direct through-flow measurement (no by-pass), following the constant temperature anemometry principle. The instrument contains no moving parts and has no obstructions to the flow path, which makes it ideal for low pressure drop applications and less sensitive to moisture or particulates than thermal mass flow devices with by-pass sensor.
The electronics housing is of rugged design according IP65 (dust- and waterproof). The T23 is available with optional ATEX approval for use in Category 3, Zone 2 hazardous areas.
T23 is a compact Mass Flow Controller with an integrated, direct operating valve that can cope with high gas flow rates. The maximum flow control range of the instrument is 12-600 l n /min. Both analog I/O-signals and RS232 connection are available as a standard feature. In addition to this there is the possibility of integrating an interface board with DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP, Modbus or FLOW-BUS protocol.
Applications can be found in process control systems as for example in food, chemical and petrochemical plants.
