 Dr.
Eddy diagnoses flow
condition.
Using Fluid
Characteristic
Indication (FCI)
technology, Dr. Eddy
displays the condition
of the water as it
relates to flow
efficiency: laminar
flow, transient flow, or
turbulent flow.
Dr. Eddy has four
scales built into the
meter: three scales for
FCI and one scale for
flow rate. FCI Scales
are selectable and
correspond to cooling
line inside diameter:
1/4", 3/8", or 1/2".
Flow rate scale can be
referenced quickly for
additional
functionality.
The flow scale displays
flow rate in gallons or
liters per minute
depending on the model.
A dual scale temperature
gauge is standard on all
models for process
comparison to the FCI
Scales.
Dr. Eddy applies the
science of heat
transfer, diagnosing the
condition of cooling
water lines at a glance.
Cooling water capacity
can be conserved
plant-wide by using the
minimum amount of flow
that will produce
turbulence on all
presses. It may be
possible to delay costly
water system upgrades by
maximizing the flow
effectivity.
Turbulent Flow Basics
Turbulent water flow is
much more efficient at
removing heat in a
cooling system than
water flowing under
laminar conditions. Once
turbulent flow is
achieved, increasing the
flow rate does not
significantly improve
the cooling rate of the
system.
In molding applications,
many mold operators try
to maximize the flow of
water through their
cooling systems to
ensure turbulent flow.
Doing so increases
energy costs for pumping
more water than
necessary through the
system. This practice
may also limit the
amount of cooling water
available for cooling
additional molds on the
same cooling system
circuit.
By insuring turbulent
flow using FCI
Technology, less water
can be used in the
molding process, saving
precious resources.
