This cross section measurement delivers the average air speed more reliable and mean-ingful than methods that measure only one or two points on the tunnel wall. Two sensors are mounted below the tunnel ceiling, cross section with an angle of 30° to 60° (usually 45°) such that a vector component of the air flow overlaps the direction of the ultrasonic sound pulses exchanged by the two sensors. Air flow in the tunnel influences the transition time of the pulses be-tween sender and receiver. Based on the difference in transition times of ultrasonic pulses sent in one or the other direction the measured values are calculated. Measured values are air speed, air flow rate, direction of air flow and air temperature. ===== Advantanges ===== *Specifically developed for application in tunnels *No control unit required *Easy configuration *Corrosion resistant against aggressive tunnel atmosphere *Sensors can be replaced quickly with no tools and no re-alignment required *Minimised spare requirements *Extremely low maintenance requirements ===== Application ===== ~~SNIPPET_O1736959939~~en:snippets:datasheet:application~~ Tunnels are important infrastructure elements in road networks and facilitate the connection of regions. Environmental conditions in tunnels are influenced by fog, particles and emissions and need to be monitored to protect people on their passage through the tunnel from danger and impacts on their health. Accidents in tunnels, and particularly fires, can have dramatic consequences and can prove extremely costly in terms of human life, increased congestion, pollution and repair costs. At every time people in the tunnel need to be supplied with breathable air and sufficient visibility. Since 1990 JES Elektrotechnik GmbH develops, installs and maintains systems to monitor air characteristics and lighting conditions in tunnels. Our systems are robust, durable and resistant against the corrosive atmosphere in a tunnel. They operate reliably and have a high accuracy in measurement. All systems fulfil the requirements of the EC guideline 2004/54/EC (Minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the trans-European road network) and the more detailed national guidelines and provisions: * Austria: RVS 09.02 Tunnelausrüstung * Germany: RABT Richtlinien für die Ausstattung und den Betrieb von Straßentunneln * Switzerland: ASTRA Richtlinien und Fachhandbuch Betriebs- und Sicherheitsausrüstungen (BSA) Our range of products for tunnel covers systems for monitoring of * Visibility (extractive or in-situ) * Toxic gases like CO, NO, NO2 (extractive or in-situ) * Air velocity, direction and temperature * Luminance (access, threshold and interior zone) * Illuminance ~~SNIPPET_C~~en:snippets:datasheet:application~~ {{ :media:tfl-usx:fl-usx_grafik_2015-08-05.png?nolink&600 |}} ===== Technical Specifications ===== ~~SNIPPET_O1709070954~~en:snippets:techdata:tfl-usx:tfl-usx_airflow-measurement~~ {|class="techdata" !colspan="2"|Air flow measurement |- |Type |JES t/FL-USX |- |Measuring method |Determination of direction dependant differential transi-tion times of ultrasonic pulses |- |Measured values |Air speed \\ Air flow rate \\ Direction of air flow \\ Air temperature |- |Measuring range | -40 .. 40 m/s |- |Resolution |0.1 m/s, accuracy depending on measuring distance, flow profile, installation, typically <±0.2 m/s at 3 m/s |- |Response time |> 1s … 180 s, configurable |- |Measurement path length |1.2 -
