Hello,
I'm looking for quite a while around some "usable" information about the Doppler effect in application with water flow measurement. Haven't got much luck until now :(
Does anyone know about this system, meaning measuring water flow from "outside" the pipe involving, for instance, ultrasonic sensors...and that doesn't come up to a cost of thousands of $? These systems look to be "sealed" in some kind of secret defense for any reason I don't know.
Purpose: I'm working in an industrial air-conditioned environment and I need to manage energy. Now, I measure temperatures and calculate energy upon the chilled water pumps theoretical flow capacity. It could be possible to install mechanical flow meters; they are quite cheap but also somehow fragile. Unfortunately, the pipe works to instal the mechanical flow meters has not been accepted (too difficult to stop the cooling).
Thank you for any info.
