ProCap now comes with a three component ultrasound flow probe. With that you can also measure flow velocities in the range of 1 m/s and below. Moreover, additional quantities like speed of sound, local temperature and humidity can be obtained at the same time. This makes it ideal for HVAC applications, passenger comfort studies in trains, clean-room flows and others.
Who would have thought that the ventilation of cable car cabins would suddenly become important? We put ProCap through its paces with collecting 3D flow data in broad daylight in a moving cable car. And were amazed at how easy it was. Thanks to Dr. Ivan Lunati from EMPA for giving us the opportunity!
Here the press release by EMPA on this joint work. The cooperation led to a publication in scientific journal you can find HERE.
We are an experienced team of engineers with a strong background in fluid dynamics, wind tunnel testing and CFD. We want to drastically simplify flow field measurement: Easy to setup and operate and massively reducing measurement time. We have already come a long way but things can always be improved.
