The Patented AxleSense Technology

Patent received technology – LORRIC improved upon the conventional design of placing the magnet on top of the paddle, creating a unique patented “AxleSense paddle”. On top of that, LORRIC redesigned the flow measurement algorithm, thus introducing the new patented “AxleSense” technology, which allows for a substantial upgrade in the sensing capabilities of extremely small flow rates, as well as the immediate monitoring of any paddle abnormalities.

A wider flowrate detection range (0.15 m/s~10m/s)

In traditional paddle wheel flowmeters, the sensing magnet is placed on top of the paddle, which means that during low liquid flow speed phases, flowrate detection has a large margin of error, even to the level of not being able to detect any flow at all. LORRIC’s paddlewheel flowmeter employs the patented AxleSense technology which shifts the direction of flowrate detection, which means that even under low flow speeds, any paddle movement will be accurately sensed, as well as maintaining a low margin of error for flowrate monitoring, which in turn provides the user with a more extensive application range.

An active smart mechanism for the detection of flow problems that arise from paddle disappearance

A flowmeter’s inability to detect flow may originate from problems in the pump, pipes, the equipment itself, or because of problems of crystallization, wear and tear or fracturing of the paddlewheel flowmeter that may cause the paddle to be damaged or fall off. LORRIC’s patented AxleSense technology actively detects any paddle abnormalities and offers clear information for the on-site manager to see, and will not simply display a passive “zero-flow” notice. Regarding industry 4.0 users, LORRIC’s paddlewheel flowmeter’s detailed information can be integrated with the factory’s management system, which helps on-site workers to solve any flow problems even faster.
