Overview
The YFVW300C wireless vortex flow meter applies the Kármán vortex street principle for non-contact flow measurement of steam, gases and low-viscosity liquids. It integrates industrial wireless communications (LoRaWAN and NB‑IoT) and supports battery operation, enabling fully wireless installation in high-temperature or hazardous locations and delivering a cost-effective IIoT solution for energy management.

Key Features

• Non-contact vortex measurement based on the Kármán vortex street principle for steam, gases and low-viscosity liquids.
• Industrial wireless communication: LoRaWAN and NB‑IoT support for remote data transmission.
• Battery-powered option enabling installation without external cabling in areas where wiring is impractical.

Product Advantages

• Eliminates wiring: significantly reduces cable and conduit expenses and simplifies installation in confined or hazardous zones.
• Wide turndown ratio: 10:1 range ratio; example steam velocity range 0.5–25 m/s, suitable from startup to full load.
• Operational range for harsh environments: ambient/pipe temperature capability from -40°C to 350°C and IP67 ingress protection.
• Robustness against vibration and interference, suitable for outdoor and tunnel deployments.
• Built-in diagnostics and automatic temperature/pressure compensation to improve data reliability and maintenance planning.

Core Application Areas

• Steam energy metering: boiler discharge, heat-exchange circuits and process steam consumption monitoring.
• Industrial gas monitoring: compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen and other plant gases.
• Chemical and process industries: safe metering of flammable gases where explosion-proof arrangements are required.
• HVAC and central chilling systems: refrigerant and steam flow control for energy audits.
• Distributed piping networks: wireless monitoring of steam/gas pipelines in facilities lacking external power.

Pain Point Solver
Addresses rapid cable degradation in high-temperature steam lines, high wiring and installation costs in explosion-proof areas, and power supply challenges for remote sensors.
