When it comes to reliably measuring airflow and gas flow, you need a measuring device that delivers accurate results even under demanding conditions. With the Vortex VA from Höntzsch you get a precise measuring device of highest quality for flow rate and flow velocity. 

Höntzsch vortex meter: Vortex flow sensor

Advantages of the vortex technology

Vortex flow sensors a designed with no moving parts, making them resistant to wear and significantly reducing maintenance requirements. In addition, the materials used are corrosion-resistant and can withstand even aggressive gases. Even if condensate forms or the gas contains particles, the sensor continues to deliver accurate measurment results.

This sets the vortex technology apart from other measuring methods, which often cause problems under such conditions. Furthermore the sensors are capable of detecting bidirectional flows, meaning that the direction of the gas flow is also detected. This is an essential safety feature, for instance when determining flow velocity in tunnels and shafts.

Applications and industry solutions for flow rate sensors

The applications for Höntzsch Vortex flow meters are extremely diverse, ranging from energy and anvironmental technology to highly sensitive safety areas. The broad spectrum of applications make them a reliable solution when it comes to precisely measuring flow rates and efficiently monitoring processes. 

The strength of this technology is particularly evident in the measurement of biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. In these appliactions flow velocities are often very low, making them difficult to be measured with conventional devices. An explosion-proof Vortex flow sensor allows even the smallest quantities to be measured reliably. Even when the gas composition changes during the process or the gas contains particles and condensate, the measurement result remains stable and precise. 

In industrial processes, such as in waste-to-energy plants, RTO/RNV systems or cement plants, the precise measurement of exhaust gas flows is critical. Vortex technology meets the requirements of regulatory standards.

In critical processes involving aggressive or explosive gases, such as flare gases, Vortex technology delivers outstanding stability, explosion protection (ATEX/CSA), and the highest level of measurement reliability. Vortex VA sensors are suitbale for use up to SIL 3 and meet the highest safety and reliability requirements. They are used in nuclear power plants, final repositories and other safety-critical areas.

Other applications:

  • Chemical industry and petrochemistry
  • Engine test benches
  • Safety-relevant applications

This versatility makes Höntzsch Vortex flow meters a universally applicable tool for a wide variety of industries. Contact us today to learn how Vortex flow meters can optimize your processes.
