A common application is the
measurement of diesel engines’ fuel
consumption in transport or conventional
power plants. On each fuel pipe (supply and
return) one DOE is installed. The differential
flow computer ZFC determines the actual
fuel consumption. Also, temperature sensors
(for example our MWD) are used to increase
the accuracy of the measurement. The flow
computer can compensate for the effect of fuel
expansion due to increasing temperatures. n
