The FP-4135 vehicle-mounted Volumetric Flow Detector is a volumetric flow detector that enables high-precision measurement of fuel flow such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene when combined with the DF-2200 vehicle-mounted fuel flow meter or FM series digital flow meters.
The flow range achieves a wide range of 0.1 to 200 L/h (measurement range ratio 2000:1), allowing measurement from minute flow rates during idling to large flow rates under high load when using low calorific value fuels such as alcohol.
Additionally, the flow detection unit is compact and can be used in a temperature range of -30 to +100 °C, allowing it to be installed in the engine compartment to support fuel flow measurement during actual driving.

Features

1. Improved vibration resistance and environmental resistance.

Considering temperature changes in the engine room and environmental testing, the flow detection section and signal processing section are separated.
It supports approximately 3 G of vibration and environmental temperatures from -30 °C to +100 °C, exhibiting excellent vibration resistance and environmental resistance.
Vibration test: 27.3 m/s 2
Temperature test: -30 °C to +100 °C

  • 1. Increased vibration resistance and environmental resistance No.1
  • 1. Improved vibration resistance and environmental resistance No.2

2. Ultra-small filter with built-in temperature sensor.

The miniaturization of the filter has achieved a space-saving of 70% compared to our model (compared to FP-2140H).
It comes standard with a super compact filter inside the detector, protecting the detector from impurities contained in the fuel. The filter is removable and can be maintained by the customer for each test.
A temperature sensor is also standard.
Temperature measurement: -30 °C to +100 °C
Temperature accuracy: Class A

  • 2. Ultra-small filter with built-in temperature sensor No.1
  • 2. Ultra-small filter with built-in temperature sensor No.2

3. One-touch piping connection with SAE fitting (optional)

By installing a vehicle joint (optional) on the upper part of the detection unit, it can be easily piped to the vehicle's fuel hose. This also reduces the risk of fuel leaks in the engine compartment.

4. Wide range, low pressure loss, alcohol standard compliant

 Wide range: flow range 0.1 to 200 L/h
Low pressure loss: adopting a magnetic encoder and reducing the weight of the detection part to lower pressure loss
Alcohol fuel compatible: using liquid contact parts with excellent chemical resistance

Case Studies

Repeated measurement of fuel efficiency in actual driving conditions.

A compact and vibration-resistant onboard fuel flow detector FP-4135 and a small and lightweight GPS speedometer LC-8300A will be installed on a motorcycle to measure the average speed, fuel consumption, and fuel efficiency every 10 meters from the start. Based on the results, the fuel efficiency performance of the vehicle will be evaluated.

  • Repeated measurement of fuel efficiency in actual driving conditions.
