Description

Tracer Model DDS Digital Display Switching : DD3-BB

General Information

Tracer Electronic Switching Flowmeter measures liquid flow rate and temperature while providing a selectable analog voltage and programmable switch. Tracer Switching Flowmeter calculates BTU’s per minute and incorporates FCI (Flow Characteristic Indicator) in support of Scientific Cooling principles.

8 to 28VDC power source is required to supply the flowmeter. Sealed push-buttons configure the flowmeter and switching operationgs through user-friendly menus.

Separate analog outputs facilitate data colelction of temperature and flow rates. The voltage outputs are user-selectable using on-screen menus: 0 to 5 Volts or 0 to 10 Volts.

FCI helps optimize systemic water usage. “TFLOW” on the digital display signifies the presence of Turbulent Flow, or maximum cooling water efficiency. 10,20 or 30% glycol mix is supported in Turbulent Flow Calculations.

SPDT switch is progrmmable for one to five set points: low flow, high flow, low temperature, high temperature and / or turbulent flow condition. Set points may be turned on or off in any combination.

Bi-directional flow reading makes installation simple and convenient.

Metric or English units for flow and temperature can be selected at any time.

Applications Tracer flowmeter is suitable for use in injection molding machine cooling water loops, lube oil systems, blending systems, filter condition indicators, and varied applications requiring flow measurement of clean, non-viscous, chemically compatible process liquids.

Annual calibration is recommended for best results. 3/8″ Trace flowmeters are not recommended for use in liquids containing ferrous particles.

Brand

Smartflow

Phil Burger founded Burger Engineering in 1978 after working nearly ten years as a mechanical engineer in the plastics industry. In the early years, Phil designed and built special equipment for manufacturers. In 1982, the company began building injection molds for area plastics companies. During its years as a mold-builder, Burger Engineering developed several unique and useful accessories for molders and launched the Smartflow® product line. Mark Brown joined the firm in 1994 as Vice President. In 2002, the company name was officially changed to Burger & Brown Engineering. Mark purchased a majority position in the company, became the President in 2005. ISO 9001:2015 Certification In 2005, the company moved from Olathe, Kansas, into the current building in Grandview, Missouri. A renovation completed in 2016 increased the manufacturing and office space from 30,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet. In 2014 Corey Brown joined the firm as a Project Engineer, became Engineering Manager in 2015 and transitioned to Vice President in charge of daily operations on January 1, 2017. Burger & Brown Engineering is internationally known for its SMARTFLOW ® proprietary products for the molding industry. Smartflow products comprises a line of multi-port manifolds for water and non-aggressive liquid applications, flowmeters for monitoring flow, temperature, and pressure, and limit switches for ejector plate, slide retention, and core pull applications. Recent product introductions include cooling efficiency aids such as the Delta-Q ® precision flow regulator, Tracer®vm electronic flowmeters in addition to new Scientific Cooling* classes. ManifoldBuilder.com was launched in 2013 to allow customers access to 3D CAD information on Smartflow manifolds and custom assemblies. All Smartflow products are designed to help injection molders save time and money through increased efficiency and molded part quality. Other services provided by Burger & Brown Engineering are special machines for industrial automation, precision contract machining, custom injection molding, plastic part design and consulting.
