Title: New float style wet bulbs
Post by: TILLAMOOK on May 30, 2017, 08:05:37 AM

New float style wet bulbs: is a flow meter still needed?

• No, not if they are working correctly.  Although there may be a benefit of a visual flow indicator and an individual shut off per wet bulb

We started upgrading to these, and have found that if you don't have clean water (i.e.. softened ) crud builds up quite rapidly on the sock and it begins to read incorrectly, which greatly affects the wet bulb control.

WE also just installed these new style WB stations.  I have noticed that without the covers they do collect alot of loose debris.
