Principle and technology of Electromagnetic Flowmeter

The world's first "Residual magnetic excitation method"

If you look at the power consumption of a general electromagnetic flowmeter, most of it is used in the excitation part (for example, the coil) necessary to create the magnetic field. In other words, a magnetic field was created by continuously passing current through the excitation coil.
In contrast, with the "residual magnetic excitation method" developed by our company, current is passed from a certain direction through an excitation coil containing a special magnetic material. Then, the magnetic material becomes a N-S magnet with polarity depending on the direction of the current. This magnetic material has a certain coercive force and remains a magnet even when the current is turned off. This method uses this phenomenon of residual magnetism to generate a magnetic field.
Since this method can create a magnetic field without the need for continuous current flow, power consumption has been drastically reduced to an extremely low value of 1/10,000 compared to conventional methods, and the built-in lithium battery has enabled continuous measurement for 10 years.

Over 180 patents related to electromagnetic flowmeters

Over 180 patent applications were filed during the development process. This includes power-saving technologies, technologies that enable a wide range of measurements from minute flows to large flows, and technologies for disposable measurement units used in the medical field, etc. The development of one product generates various ideas and technologies that lead to the development of the next product. Aichi Tokei Denki will continue to develop these ideas and core technologies to enhance the "performance" that humans need. ”

The lineup of various flowmeters and flow rate sensors is ``25 types''.

In 1983, we released the world's first two-wire electromagnetic flowmeter, which achieved power consumption 1/100 times lower than conventional products. Furthermore, in 1992, we launched the world's first electromagnetic water meter that could operate for 10 years with a built-in battery and achieved extremely low power consumption, less than 1/10,000 times that of conventional products. , a non-full electromagnetic flow meter that can measure a wide range of flow rates from non-full to full water, a small electromagnetic flow sensor that can handle chemical liquids and is suitable for integration into equipment, and has overcome the weaknesses of electromagnetic methods, such as foreign matter and deposits on electrodes. There are 25 types of electromagnetic flowmeters and electromagnetic flow sensors, including capacitive electromagnetic flow monitors, suitable for various sites. Our extensive lineup is used for a variety of applications.
