DDM VCT Turbine Flow Measurement System

The DDM VCT Turbine Flow Measurement System is a highly advanced, miniaturised inline fluid sensor framework custom-engineered to record high-accuracy volumetric flow rates and concurrent fluid temperatures across demanding automotive track trials and compact industrial testing environments.

Developed specifically to provide real-time thermal management analytics within space-constrained electric vehicle (EV) motor compartments, the VCT architecture integrates a media-contacting Type T thermocouple probe directly inside the turbine housing flow stream. This unique dual-parameter geometry completely isolates the two signal paths, allowing simultaneous logging of fluid velocity and process temperatures from a single physical pipe intersection. The internal fluid matrix features an optimised stainless steel rotor assembly supported by a high-performance hybrid ball bearing, which heavily suppresses mechanical drag and preserves excellent signal repeatability down to ±0.025% of the reading. Handling an extensive measurement envelope available across standard configurations covering 0.05 to 350 litres per minute (L/min) at up to 25 bar pressures, the sensor incorporates an integrated data memory chip that stores factory calibration data and default baseline metrics. When paired with the intelligent VCA or VCA-T smart flow computer, the plug-and-play system automatically executes real-time linearisation and multi-fluid viscosity compensation to supply clean 0-10V analogue signals straight into external DAQ networks.
