Smart LDV IV MODEL 8745-S

Smart LDV IV
MODEL 8745-S

Simple and easy operated Laser Doppler Velocimeter for accurate flow velocity measurement with high repeatability

CHARACTERISTIC


A Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) measures fluid velocity by utilizing coherence of laser light. It detects the Doppler shift frequency of the scattering light of particles in the fluid and calculates the velocity of the particles (fluid). With a LDV system, non-intrusive measurements without disturbing the measuring object, liquid or gas flow, are achieved. No calibration is necessary and reverse flow measurements at a high resolution is also possible. The LDV system provides the absolute value of the flow velocity with accuracy.

The Smart LDV IV is a high quality Laser Doppler Velocimeter and compact in design. Absolute velocity measurement with high repeatability is realized with the Smart LDV IV.

PRINCIPLE


Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) detects Doppler shift frequency of the scattering light of particles in the fluid and calculates the velocity of the particles (fluid).

  • A high and low intensity fringe (an interference fringe) is formed at the intersection of two laser beams.
  • When a particle passes the fringe, intensity of the scattering light from the particle fluctuates according to the intensity of the fringe.
  • This intensity fluctuation is detected by a photomultiplier as a Doppler signal.
  • The velocity is calculated from the Doppler signal frequency and the fringe spacing.
