Based on radar technology, the contact-less system \u201eRaven-Eye\u201c provides very accurate estimates of the flow velocity at the surface and infers the corresponding overall flow rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9282\" src=\"http:\/\/lcm-content.web-email.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/flowtronic_raven_eye_in_action.png\" alt width=\"918\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lcm-content.web-email.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/flowtronic_raven_eye_in_action.png 918w, https:\/\/lcm-content.web-email.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/flowtronic_raven_eye_in_action-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/lcm-content.web-email.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/flowtronic_raven_eye_in_action-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/lcm-content.web-email.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/flowtronic_raven_eye_in_action-690x448.png 690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\"><\/p>\n<p>Picturecredits: Flowtronic | Liquid Flow Measurement using Radar Technology.<\/p>\n<p>Another product named \u201eBeluga\u201c hosts an ultrasound system that allows for the measurement of the liquid flow velocity in a full pipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which are the driving technologies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LCM has developed the entire radio-frequency and ultrasound electronics and the respective signal processing algorithms, and has produced the hardware prototypes from which the before-mentioned products originated.<\/p>\n<p>The velocity distribution within a pipe is analysed digitally by means of a Doppler-flow sensor. From the distribution, a self-learning algorithm derives the average velocity.<\/p>\n<p>Special attention was focused on the <em>optimization of the energy consumption<\/em>: The products are capable of battery-driven operation throughout several months at hard-to-reach sites without the need of maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>As to be able to deploy these systems in explosion-prone settings, as given in sewer tunnels, they need to be <em>ATEX-certified<\/em>. LCM provides the know-how for the implementation of this norm which is non-trivial and which implies increased documentation effort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The products are used in municipal public supply and disposal management, dairy factories, breweries and industrial facilities. LCM has been accompanying Flow-Tronic for many years, from hardware and algorithmic developments to the final products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LCM Competences<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Radio-frequency- and
