i450
Ultrasonic flowmeter for liquid marine fuels
- Designed for use with the EcoMATETM Compact monitoring system for IWT (Inland Waterway Transport) vessels
- Suitable for volumetric flow rates of highly viscous fluids up to 480 l/h / 126.8 gal/h
- Ultra-compact installation in confined spaces of marine engines via 3/8” hose barb fitting
- Integrated electronics with Modbus communication capabilities
Overview
The i450 is an ultrasonic flowmeter designed for accurate volumetric flow measurement of common marine fuel oils. Its full-bore design ensures reliable performance with minimum pressure loss, making it ideal for measuring viscous fuel fluids even under varying flow conditions. With its wide dynamic range, the i450 adapts to changing flow rates. It also features an integrated temperature sensor, enabling precise temperature measurement as an additional process parameter.
The i450 is the ideal companion to the EcoMATETM Compact system for monitoring fuel consumption and emissions on smaller river-sea vessels and Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) vessels. Engineered for space efficiency, the i450’s ultra-compact and lightweight sensor design allows for easy installation in the confined spaces of inland vessel engine rooms. This makes it a cost-effective, space-saving alternative to Coriolis mass flowmeters for flow ranges up to 480 l/h / 126.8 gal/h.
The ultrasonic flowmeter comes with integrated electronics that support advanced device diagnostics and Modbus communication. In this way, it ensures seamless integration into automated marine fuel monitoring systems.
