Wide Temperature Ranges

Fluenta’s FlarePhase transducers are engineered to function across an exceptionally wide range of process temperatures, from as low as -200°C to as high as +350°C. This capability is key in extreme operational environments, particularly within the oil and gas industry where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically depending on the gas composition and processing conditions.

Several innovative features contribute to this wide temperature tolerance. First, the transducers are built with robust materials designed for thermal stability. Materials used in the FlarePhase transducers are chosen for their resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, minimizing the risk of structural fatigue or signal distortion over time. These materials ensure that the transducer maintains its integrity and measurement accuracy even in cryogenic conditions or extreme heat.

Second, Fluenta employs real-time monitoring and signal optimization technology. The transducers include built-in sensors that continuously track their characteristics, including how they are affected by changes in temperature. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt in real-time, adjusting signal and timing to compensate for any thermal shifts. By doing this, the FlarePhase transducers maintain the integrity of the ultrasonic signals, ensuring accurate “Time of Flight” calculations even when temperature-induced phase shifts occur.

The wide temperature range is further supported by Fluenta’s proprietary FlareAmp technology, which boosts the transmit power of the ultrasonic signals and optimises the received signals in CO2-heavy environments, where both temperature and gas composition vary widely. By optimizing signal processing and leveraging robust materials, Fluenta has ensured that the FlarePhase transducers perform reliably, offering accurate flare gas measurements even in the most demanding thermal environments.
