ProDATS Design Evolves – The ProDATS probe and sidestream configuration continue to evolve. The device was developed under a Navy/SBIR contract to monitor shipboard heat exchanger fouling. An insertion probe design, and side stream design have been prototyped and are undergoing continued testing. We expect to characterize the strengths and limitations of this design for your benefit and will report about it accordingly. At present, these are the two sensor configurations (image below). The probe is intended to insert into a valve fitting fixed to a pipeline. The system signals would be used as a gross indication of biological and mineral scaling activity in the circulating cooling water (or process fluid). The side stream configuration requires about 1 liter/minute of fluid flow at or below 300 Kpa pressure. The data is used and interpreted similarly to our DATS 3 product. |
