GREGORY flowtronic

Datron Technology Ltd will be showing for the first time in the UK at the Automotive
Engineering Show on Stand j75, the range of high accuracy fuel flow meters from the
German manufacturer GREGORY Technology GmbH. Fuel consumption measurement on
combustion engines is becoming increasingly important all over the world in terms of
saving energy. GREGORY Technology provides modern, state of the art, high precision
fuel consumption measurement systems. The flowtronic product range is a series of
modular systems and is the perfect solution for fuel consumption testing in mobile and
stationary applications.
The flowtronic sensor component is the core of the flowtronic system, and provides a very wide
measuring range between 0.04 and 250l/h and offers an outstanding resolution of 0.004ml.
Just one sensor covers all types and engine sizes and allows dynamic measurement in all
conditions between idle mode and full load with same high precision. Additionally, the high
resolution together with a very low minimum flow rate of 40ml/h and no specific mounting
direction of the sensor offers the greatest ease of use.
GREGORY Technology offers compact systems for use on motorcycles, cars, etc. In
addition, the FCS-D series is specially designed for use on commercial vehicles. These
systems are available with a measuring range up to 250l/h and provide a fuel circulation
rate up to 700l/h.
Signal conditioning and user interfacing is provided with the new signal conditioning unit,
SCU8005D. Features such as a touch screen display, user software, extra inputs for a
distance sensor and trigger signal. Signal outputs as TTL, analogue and USB provide
maximum flexibility for the user. The SCU8005D includes another important innovation, an
optional integrated Ethernet interface offers a seamless integration into test benches and
dynos.
The flowtronic systems are designed to provide optimised conditioning of fuel pressure
and temperature to match the original engine configuration. The integrated heat exchanger
and selectable fuel circulation rates ensure the original parameters of pressure and
temperature as close as possible to original specifications.
Installing the flowmeter system as part of the fuel system is an important feature as this
ensures minimal side effects caused by overlong tubes for fuel supply and return.
As an additional benefit, the wide operational temperature range of -20 to +70°C allows
system installation in harsh climates or in a climate chamber for dyno applications.
