Fuel Flow Meters for Marine Engines
DFM Marine flow meters with interface are used as components in systems for Fuel Consumption Monitoring. Autonomous (battery-powered) flow meters are applied as standalone instrumentation for local monitoring of marine diesel usage. DFM Marine is installed in fuel line of the engine / boiler / burner, directly measures fuel consumption and generates an output signal, which is sent to telematics unit (GPS tracker).
DFM Marine is used for monitoring fuel consumption and the operating time of engine and is ideal for all ocean and river vessels.
Why Use Our Flow Meter For Your Marine Engine
Measuring chamber made of brass
Measuring chamber is made of corrosion-proof and highly durable material – brass.
Different material and fuel line connection type designs
Body and fuel line connections of DFM Marine can be made of duralumin (lighweight and inexpensive) or brass (corrosion-proof and more durable). Fuel line connection types – thread or flange – specified in purchase order.
Operation in differential fuel consumption measurement mode
Any two units of DFM Marine are configured from PC to operate in paired mode, without a need of selecting and calibrating two compatible pieces. Differential fuel consumption measurement mode is used for measuring consumption of fuel in supply and return fuel lines of an engine, if necessary.
