Iridium is a platform for configurable flow control. It uses an integrated flow rate sensor and control valve to regulate flow rate regardless of inlet pressure fluctuation. A flow control set point is provided by users via the touchscreen or remotely via electronic signal. Then the controller adjusts the integrated valve as needed to maintain the desired flow rate. This product features a PTFE micro turbine flow sensing module and a PTFE proportional diaphragm flow control module. This configuration can be set up to control liquid flow ranges as low as 7-50 mL/min and as high as 1.0-10.0 L/min. Other configurations can be customized as desired.
Key Features
- Liquid Flow Ranges: Flow ranges as low as 7-50 mL/minute and as high as 1.0-10.0 L/minute are available (1:10 turn-down ratio)
- PTFE Flow Path: Wetted materials of only PTFE, sapphire and Viton® (Kalrez® optional) ensure compatibility.
- Integrated Touch Screen: Using the integrated 3.2” color touchscreen, users can display flow rate, totalized flow, alarm states
- Pelton Micro turbine: Use a miniature PTFE microturbine wheel suspended on a sapphire shaft. An infrared beam detects the rotation speed.
- Fast Control Logic: By utilizing advanced microprocessors and specially designed software.
- Expansion Slots: the Iridium platform has two open slots for expansion cards. Features include analog I/O, wireless communication, error outputs, and can also be customized as needed
- Graphical Interface: Through the integrated 3.2” touchscreen, the user can program set points, display current status, and adjust configuration while the unit continues to control flow rate and provide output.
- Software Update: The Iridium platform can easily be upgraded through downloadable firmware updates via the standard USB interface.
- I/O Options: RS-485 serial interface and Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces are standard. The Iridium also has two internal expandable card slots.
- Modular Design: The Iridium platform supports field-replacement of internal modules as needed, allowing the users to swap flow ranges, valve types, I/O modules, and more as application conditions change.
- Fitting Choices: The modular design of the Iridium also allows for inlet and outlet fitting sizes and types to be changed as needed. Female NPT, compression, flare, and other fitting types are available.
Typical Applications
- For analog control of multi-stage control or electrostatic coating control
