Refrigerant liquid or gas flow monitor design

Our client asked:

The client wanted to detect leaks from a refrigeration system but without breaking into the pipes. They wanted to monitor the flow through those pipes by attaching sensors to the outside of the pipe in a confined space. The state of the associated pipe valve also needed to be detected. The system needed to be self-contained and protected from the environment.

 

The project story:

  • Flow and valve sensor selection
  • ‘wet lab’ flow experimentation
  • Detailed hardware design
  • Prototype build and configuration control

 

  • System integration and functional testing
  • Design transfer and support
  • Algorithm development

Results: deliverables and outcomes

We provided the client with a technology demonstrator that was suitable for the environment, together with data capture and analysis software. This allowed the client to perform more widespread verification testing before committing to product development.
