Questions

Question

I need to monitor air velocity within a supply and exhaust duct, both are connected to a Class I Division 1 rated gashouse. Is this possible with the 641B in conjunction with an isolated barrier/repeater? The 641B will be duct mounted outside of the gashouse. I was interested in the AVU series as well but our supply contains high humidity levels which led me to the 641B. Thanks for the help.

Answer

Unfortunately, you cannot use the 641b in a classified area as it is not intrinsically safe

Question

We have recently replaced a Dwyer air velocity transmitter (PFS1300204) with a Dwyer Series 641. The new sensor works fine for only a few days and then starts reading almost no flow. These devices are used in an Air Scrubber application (exhaust stack). Is this the right application for the Series 641? I suspect that moisture might be the issue, but I cannot confirm.

Answer

I do not think you are using the 641 series air velocity transmitter in an appropriate application. Any moisture or particulates in the exhaust could be causing damage to the hot wire sensor, leading to the failure. The difference in the sensors is probably why you got longer life out of the PFS series, which unfortunately, is no longer available. The PFS series used a glass filled polyester sensor, which is a little more robust and can with stand the elements a little better. In your specific application, you might take a look at our 641B series which uses a heated mass flow sensor which can be used in dirty air environments.
