Energy Storage & Cooling Instrumentation Solutions

Since electromagnetic meters require conductivity, they cannot be used here. Ultrasonic clamp-on meters or Turbine flow meters are excellent choices for glycol mixtures and dielectric oils used in battery thermal management.

A low-level float switch or an optical liquid sensor installed in the drain pan of the battery rack can provide an immediate "dry contact" alarm to the BMS (Battery Management System) if any coolant leaks out.

Yes, cooling tower water is conductive, making magnetic meters a cost-effective and reliable solution. However, ensuring correct grounding is vital to prevent noise from nearby variable frequency drives (VFDs) on pumps and fans.

For BTU calculation, the "Delta-T" (difference between supply and return temp) is critical. Matched-pair RTD (Pt100 or Pt1000) sensors are recommended; these are calibrated together to ensure the difference reading is accurate to within 0.1°C or better.

Low-differential pressure transmitters are used to monitor the airflow across filters and fans. They ensure the ventilation system is working correctly to prevent heat buildup or hydrogen gas accumulation.

A compact guided wave radar or a magnetic float level gauge is ideal. They provide a continuous level reading to ensure the system has enough thermal mass (fluid) to operate safely.

Yes. In direct-cooling battery applications, the coolant must remain non-conductive. An online conductivity meter can monitor the fluid; if conductivity rises (indicating contamination), it triggers an alarm to prevent electrical faults.
