ELECTRONIC PACKING VENT MONITOR
For compressor packing case vent flow analysis


ePV™ is a vent flow analysis tool specifically designed to monitor gas compressor packing cases. The ePV can be permanently mounted or used as a portable device to meet the EPA Greenhouse Gases Reporting Rule Subpart "W" requirements for emissions monitoring.

The ePV™ utilizes proven thermal-dispersion flow measurement technology with equal mass sensing to achieve outstanding sensitivity and repeatability. The instrument’s wetted parts are superior corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel with Hastelloy-C sensor tips. The sensor element has no moving parts to foul, clog or maintain which ensures continuous reliability and no maintenance costs. There are no cavities, orifices or dead-legs to trap or contaminate samples which preserves sample integrity and faster system sampling times.

ePV™ electronics are packaged in a rugged, fully-sealed, aluminum housing which provides exceptional protection and long-life under all process conditions.

A 4-20mA output can be assigned to flow rate or temperature. The ePV™ unit can be programmed by the sensor push buttons or through the RS232 connection with the provided software.
