Hello,
I'm building a system for my professor and for controls I will be using a PLC from automationdirect as a way of getting into the field and learning (everything I'm doing can be done with a raspberry pi or an arduino... but we have funding and this can be used for a lot more later in the project).
Anyway, I have a few circular ducts - 3, 4, and 6 inches in diameter where I need to control airflow. The damper system I already have worked out (well - a good enough solution for now), but I'm trying to find sensors to measure air flow in the circular ducts. I'd prefer something that comes assembled in a small section of duct that I can just put in place between the existing duct which is put together using quick disconnect and toggle clamps. Air flow is 1200-2000 fpm around 80 degrees. Accuracy within 3% is acceptable.
I've found plenty on just the probes, but I'm really hoping to have something already assembled that I can just clamp on. If a prebuilt option isn't available, any recommendations on how to setup 2 probes in a circular duct?
Thanks!
