Development of advanced sensors

Ziel

To develop advanced on-line sensors (humidity, temperature, mass flow, particle concentrations), for a number of industrial processes which will allow better process control which is expected to lead to large energy savings.
Research is being carried out into the development of advanced online sensors (humidity, temperature, mass flow, particle concentrations) for a number of industrial processes which will allow better process control which in turn is expected to lead to large energy savings. Through these types of sensor, the required information about ongoing processes may be obtained continuously and fed into process control systems with the aim of improving energy efficiency.

So far 2 sensors have been successfully developed. These are a Coriolis mass flow meter for use in granular materials and a Laser Doppler anemometer mass flow meter for liquids having low flow rates. Progress has been made on advanced humidity sensors and a minituarized phase Doppler anemometer (PDA) system.
Many energy intensive industrial processes will not become more energy efficient unless on-line sensor technology is introduced. Through these types of sensor, the required information about ongoing processes may be obtained continuously and fed into process control systems with the aim to improve energy efficiency. Work in this project is distributed in the following way:

Systems such as phase-Doppler (PDA) anemometers to measure particle concentration, particle size (maximum, minimum, average size, size distribution) and particle velocity distributions for applications in various particulate two phase flows are developed by LSTM Erlangen and imperial College.

For the measurement of mass and volume, flow coriolis flow meters will have particular emphasis. Applications are in liquid and gaseous particulate flows employed in process industries (LSTM and ATZ-EVUS).

Advanced humidity sensors are of importance for harsh environment drying processes in ovens, kilns and furnaces and are developed by the University of Aveiro.

In situ optical sensors to measure local temperature and concentration of gaseous chemical species are developed by Ecole Centrale de Paris.

Particular attention is paid to the transfer of this technology to industry. In order to ensure such a technology transfer, an organization of 160 small and medium sized companies working in sensor design (AMA) participates in this project. AMA also disseminates this information to sensor companies all over Europe.
