Measure droplet size velocity and concentration in very dense sprays
The M2 Spray analyzer performs local measurement of droplet size, velocity and liquid fraction. The system is composed of a probe, immersed in the flow, a remote electronic unit and a software application for processing and analysis. Data processing can be done in a fully assisted manner in most cases but can also finely tuned for better control in complex situations.
Key performances:
- Droplet size range : down to 5 μm - No upper limit
- Velocity range: 0.01 to 80 m/s
- Liquid fraction range: 0 to 100%
Operating conditions:
From cryogenic temperature up to 250°C
Up to 100 bars
Suitable for non-transparent liquids
Easy setup: Up and running in minutes
The Optical Fiber Doppler Probe technique designed by A2 Photonic Sensors is the fruit of more than 25 years of research. It results from the combination of phase optical probes with laser Doppler velocimetry. A micrometric sensor head is manufactured at the tip of an optical fiber. Once immersed in the spray, the optical fiber probe acts as both the laser emitter and light detector, and will measure all droplets reaching its tip. The miniaturized size of the sensing part guarantees a very low disturbance to the flow, hence a high accuracy of the measurement.
