2.2 Electromagnetic Induction Flow Monitoring System

The cooler adopts dual-electrode electromagnetic induction technology, generating a uniform magnetic field of 0.3T in the pipeline, causing the flowing conductive medium to produce a potential difference proportional to the flow velocity. This signal is converted into a 4-20mA standard current output through the signal processing circuit, with measurement accuracy reaching ±0.5%FS and repeatability error less than 0.1%. Its built-in accumulator function can record total flow, peak flow and other data, supporting alarm threshold setting through programming switches.

2.3 Intelligent Heat Exchange Control System

The cooler is equipped with a dual-channel heat exchanger, adopting cross-flow structure design, enabling efficient heat exchange between lubricating oil and cooling water within a 0.3mm gap. Through PID algorithm to dynamically regulate cooling water flow, when compressor load fluctuates, the oil temperature can be stabilized within ±1°C range within 15 seconds. The built-in pressure sensor can monitor cooling water pressure in real time, automatically activating pressure relief protection when pressure exceeds 0.145MPa.

2.4 Communication and Diagnostic Interface

Supports IO-Link V1.1 protocol, capable of transmitting 12 parameters including flow rate, temperature, pressure, and cumulative operating time. Through the accompanying iFM software, users can perform parameter configuration, fault diagnosis, data recording and other operations. The device has self-diagnosis function, when detecting faults such as abnormal flow or temperature exceeding limits, it can simultaneously alarm through LED indicators and IO-Link interface.
