CONTROL OF GAS FLOWS IN POWER GENERATION PLANTS
In centralized power plants, thermal mass flow meters are used in the processes of compressed air flow, natural gas flow measurement to auxiliary boilers and hydrogen measurement for cooling generators.
Thermal Mass Flow Meters in Compressed Air Lines
A significant amount of electricity is required to produce compressed air. In a power plant, Thermal mass flow meters help to detect leaks in compressor systems, monitor overall utilization to improve efficiency and control consumption of departments. The application saves money. The compressed air flow meter in energy management systems helps determine the optimal number of compressor units that should be running at any given time;
This helps to meet the demand of various departments and processes. Furthermore, thermal mass flow meters are sensitive enough to identify leaks, saving significant amounts of wasted energy.
Compressed air flow measurement in the industrial environment offers significant opportunities to save money by reducing energy costs.
Thermal mass flow meters are used to measure compressed air flow in power plants, natural gas flow measurement and hydrogen for cooling generators.
Mass Flow Meters for Natural Gas Measurement
Combustion sources can have different efficiencies. Sage thermal mass flow meter is the most accurate solution to measure natural gas flow. The efficiency of the system is ensured by measuring the natural gas flow rate to the auxiliary boilers of the power plant.
Hydrogen Flow Measurement for Cooling Generators
Electric generators generate significant amounts of heat and hydrogen is an excellent coolant and is widely used to cool generators. Thermal mass flow meters measure the flow rate of hydrogen used to cool turbine generators.
