New Product: Sensocon Series JFM-S Custom Airflow Measuring Stations

New Sensocon Series JFM-S Custom Airflow Measuring Stations

The Series JFM-S Airflow Measuring Stations provides accurate, repeatable measurement of air movement in HVAC ducts.

Sensocon, Inc., a leading manufacturer of differential pressure, air velocity, and flow products, announces the new Series JFM-S Airflow Measuring Station. The Sensocon Series JFM-S Airflow Measuring Station includes the Sensocon FloSen® Airflow Measuring Probes pre-mounted in a custom flange. The specifications of the flange including material and dimensions are based on the requirements of the customer and may include galvanized steel, stainless steel, PVC, or other. The Series JFM-S Airflow Measuring Stations provides accurate, repeatable measurement of air movement in HVAC ducts.

The performance of the Airflow Measuring Stations is based on the patented elliptically-shaped probe design with improved aerodynamic characteristics which outperforms more traditional devices, and overcomes loss of accuracy caused by fluid separation at the sensor body. The Airflow Probes are designed to maintain a constant parallel airflow pattern over the static sensing ports for more accurate, steady signals under all duct conditions. The elimination of separation results in a stabilized static pressure signal, helping to eliminate “hunting” during fan control.

The FloSen® Airflow Probes used in the JFM-S Airflow Measuring Stations utilize a unique in-line groove for total pressure sensing and dual ports for static pressure sensing which produces a higher differential pressure for very low velocity measurements. The total and static pressure measuring points are distributed for equal-area averaging of flows resulting in improved accuracy and reliability. This design permits accurate and stable measurement in highly turbulent flow locations with directional pitch and yaw varying up to 20 degrees without the need for air flow straighteners which restrict airflow and can easily become clogged. The elliptical shape of the FloSen® Airflow Probes allows air to glide unrestricted around the aerodynamically designed sensors and offers the lowest pressure drop of any airflow measuring device available minimizing HVAC operating costs.

The FloSen® Airflow Measuring Stations are built to the customers specifications to meet the challenges associated with each individual application. The quantity of FloSen® Airflow Measuring Probes selected for each Airflow Measuring Station is based on ASHRAE and AMCA standards to produce assured airflow measuring accuracy over a flow turn-down ratio of 17:1
