Engineered for Superior Cooling Efficiency

Advanced design features deliver exceptional performance and reliability for industrial cooling applications.

Increased Cooling Efficiency

Flowmeters optimize water distribution to cooling processes, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing cycle times in manufacturing operations.

Faster Cycle Times

By providing ample, well-distributed water supply, our flowmeters enable faster cooling cycles, increasing production throughput and overall equipment effectiveness.

Space Optimization

Compact aluminum designs and compressed port spacing on DuoFlow models allow installation in restricted areas while maintaining full functionality.

Leak-Free Reliability

Every flowmeter undergoes 100% leak testing before shipment, ensuring reliable, maintenance-free operation and preventing costly downtime from water leaks.

High Temperature Performance

flowmeter withstand extreme conditions up to 450°F/232°C and 450psi/31bar, supporting high-temperature molding applications.

Easy SMED Implementation

DuoFlow flowmeter support Single-Minute Exchange of Die processes with mold-mounting designs that simplify setup changes and reduce changeover times.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between Tracer Electronic and Mechanical Flowmeters?
Tracer Electronic Flowmeters use electronic components to provide digital flow and temperature readings with high precision (±1-2%). Mechanical Flowmeters use vane-operated mechanisms for basic flow monitoring with standard precision (±3-5%). Electronic models offer advanced features like digital displays and temperature monitoring, while mechanical models are simpler, require no power, and are cost-effective for basic applications.
How do SmartFlow Flowmeters work with control valves for precise regulation?
SmartFlow Flowmeters provide real-time flow rate data that can be used to precisely control valve positions. When integrated with control valves, the flowmeter readings enable automatic or manual adjustment of water flow to maintain optimal cooling conditions. This combination allows for exact flow regulation, improving process consistency, energy efficiency, and cooling performance in industrial applications.
What flow ranges are available for SmartFlow Flowmeters?
We offer a wide range of flowmeter sizes to accommodate various flow rates, typically from 0.5 GPM to 200 GPM (2 to 757 LPM). The specific range depends on the model and application requirements. Tracer Electronic Flowmeters often feature adjustable range settings, while Mechanical Flowmeters have fixed ranges per model. Contact our team to determine the optimal flow range for your specific application needs.
Can SmartFlow Flowmeters monitor both flow and temperature simultaneously?
Yes, our Tracer Electronic Flowmeters are designed to monitor both flow rate and temperature simultaneously. They feature integrated temperature sensors and digital displays that show both measurements in real-time. This dual monitoring capability provides complete process visibility, allowing operators to optimize cooling performance based on both flow and temperature parameters for superior process control.
What installation requirements do electronic flowmeters have?
Tracer Electronic Flowmeters require a standard power connection (typically 24V DC or 110-230V AC depending on model) and proper piping installation according to flow direction indicators. They also need adequate straight pipe runs before and after the flowmeter for accurate measurements (usually 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 downstream). Mechanical Flowmeters require no electrical power and have simpler installation requirements, making them ideal for locations where power is unavailable or for basic monitoring needs.
