ELECTRA-flo - IO&M Manual1
SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 – DESCRIPTION
The ELECTRA-flo Thermal Air Flow Transmitter is used in conjunction with ELECTRA-flo Probe(s). One Transmittercan receive up to 32 individual flow sensors measuring a single ducted airflow or fan.
The Transmitter's microprocessor averages flow and temperature signals from all sensors and outputs an analogsignal and local display of these averages. The Transmitter serves as the interface for all configuration and diagnosticfunctions.
1.2 – THEORY OF OPERATION
The ELECTRA-flo uti l izes thermal dispersiontechnology to measure airflow. As air moves acrossthe surface of an elevated temperature sensor, heatis transferred from the sensor to the airflow in amathematically defined relationship between heattransfer rate and airflow velocity.
Each ELECTRA-flo sensing node utilizes a pair ofprecision matched thermistors. One functions as areference sensor measuring the ambient airtemperature at the sensing node location, and theother thermistor is heated to a preset temperaturedifferential (T) above the ambient air temperature.Airflow velocity is determined using the measuredambient air temperature, the known heat transfercharacteristics of the heated thermistor, and thepower consumed to maintain the T between the twothermistors.
Using a combination of Computational FluidDynamics (CFD) modeling and extensive full-scalewind tunnel verification, the aerodynamicallyoptimized cross section of the sensing node apertureprevents error inducing turbulence typical of sharpedged sensing tubes.
The aperture’s injection molded shape has beenengineered to minimize the angular flow effectsnaturally present in any duct. The flared aperturecaptures a representative sample of the ductedairflow, while the contoured leading edges preventthe creation of vortices. The center cross section ofthe aperture functions in the same manner as aventuri. It stabilizes and flattens the velocity profileat the point of measurement ensuring the airflowmaintains full contact with the sensing thermistors.The flow conditioning characteristic of the aperturecompensates for turbulent airflow with pitch and/oryaw angles up to ±30 degrees and produces anaccuracy of ±2% of reading for each ELECTRA-flosensor.

X PROP_DESCRIPTION
The Air Monitor BACnet stack supports the optional property “PROP_DESCRIPTION”. This is used toindicate the type of information in the object. For example, for an ELECTRA-flo system, the description willindicate as “AF0” for average flow, or “AT0” for average temperature. If the object belongs to a sensor in thesystem, it will be indicated as “STn” or “SFn”, where n is the sensor address. The Air Monitor Device whichsupports BACnet will determine the amount of AI objects available. For an ElectraFLO system, the amountof AI objects is determined by the total number of sensors in the system x 2 with an additional 2 AI objectsfor system average flow and system average temperature. So an ElectraFLO system with 8 sensors willhave a total of 18 AI objects. These are for average Flow and average DP. This object does not supportintrinsic reporting, so the event state is always “NORMAL”.
Usage of the Status Field.
– Each object supports status bits IN_ALARM, FAULT, and OUT_OF_SERVICE.
– OVERRIDDEN is not supported as it makes no sense to override a value with no reasonable substitute.
– The OOS property indicates the physical input to the object is not in service. In the case of an ElectraFLOsystem, this will be set by the transmitter if someone intentionally removes the sensor from the network.If the transmitter determines there is a problem with any sensor in question, the OOS bit is set alongwith the FAULT bit. If the OOS property is set, data from the physical device will not be used in anycalculation.
– IN_ALARM is set for values which exceed the predetermined values set in the transmitter memory.Sensor analog objects will not typically have this flag set. This will be done at the transmitter levelindicating the average flow or temperature are out of range.
