schedule10th Jul 20

The EnergyTech 301 unit is a  new low cost dust monitor using well-proven technology providing accurate and rapid results.

Being adaptable it can be used on duct sizes from 250mm to 5m making the EnergyTech 301 a suitable sensor for a wide range of applications where a dust measurement is required.

  • Direct sensing method; actual particulate concentration
  • Automated online zero and span checking facility
  • Integrated calibration function for mg/m3 output
  • Proven sample port design with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Adaptable, making it suitable for virtually all dust collectors
  • Rugged & robust design developed for easy installation and maintenance

EnergyTech 301 continuous dust monitor uses the well-proven tribo-electric sensor technology to directly measure mass particulate concentration by sensing the frictional charge created when particles collide with a conductor.

The advanced electronics of the EnergyTech 301 detect this signal and present it to the operator via RS485 or 4-20mA directly out from the sensor head. The EnergyTech 201 also features a built in display for viewing live sensor data as well as for configuration and calibration.

The measurement levels can be corrected to mg/m3 via an integrated calibration function.

The tribo-electric technique is extremely sensitive, capable of detecting dust concentrations of less than 1mg/m3 in small ducts.

The EnergyTech 301 requires no critical alignment and has no optical surfaces to keep clean. The sensor is easy to install, requiring only a simple probe and is ideal for small duct sizes.

Minimal maintenance is required, infrequent probe cleaning and low installation costs make this technology extremely attractive for dust collector monitoring.
