Density handheld device
In collaboration with Gibertini S.R.L., this innovative system offers a new dimension in mobile liquid analysis. The integrated density sensor provides precise concentration measurements—directly on site, without a laboratory.
Application examples:
- Quality control of liquids
- Research & development
- Mobile laboratory applications
Applications
Concentration monitoring
The refrigerant in a refrigeration circuit is in most cases a mixture of ethylene glycol and water. The optimum concentration is determined depending on the minimum temperature entering the circuit in order to prevent the liquid from freezing. At the same time, the aim is to keep the water content as high as possible, as this has a positive effect on thermal conductivity. So how can the concentration of the glycol-water mixture in the process be monitored? With TrueDyne’s DLO-M2_ex sensor, you collect the necessary data to determine the concentration of the medium in the running process.
1. density sensor with integrated glycol-water concentration calculation. 2. concentration is directly output as measured value. 3. refrigeration system and concentration processing for cooling industrial applications. 4. heat exchanger on the roof of factory buildings. Due to the circulation water can evaporate and the concentration of the refrigerant changes. Here the DLO-M2_ex is used for concentration monitoring.
Beer application
Alcohol is produced by fermenting a sugar source with a catalyst, typically yeast or certain bacteria. In the process, the carbohydrates (sugar and starch) are converted into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. This serves as the basis for all alcoholic beverages, regardless of whether they are beer or spirits such as gin and whiskey.
In order to be able to make a statement about the progress of the fermentation process, measurement samples must be taken and analysed regularly. This is exactly where TrueDyne’s DLO-M2 density sensor with integrated concentration determination comes in. Even with small sample volumes, a precise indication of the progress of the fermentation process is possible.
1. Taking a sample from a fermentation tank. 2. Preparation of the sample by degassing and filtering of turbid and suspended matter. 3. Density measurement with integrated concentration calculation of sugar in water. This enables a precise statement about the progress of the fermentation process. 4. Disposal of the test sample. Due to the sensor design and the resulting low sample volume, hardly any rejects are generated.
