The Flowtronic fuel consumption meter test system is mainly used for fuel consumption measurement of internal combustion engines and is suitable for basic fuel types such as gasoline, diesel, biofuel, and alcohol. Its applications cover motorcycles, passenger cars, buses, trucks, special-purpose vehicles, and ships; it can be used both in moving vehicles and in stationary bench tests. The equipment features simple operation, robust and durable construction, and high measurement accuracy, making it suitable for consumption measurement of various types of liquid fuels. The latest generation of updated products has targeted upgrades to the corrosion resistance against methanol fuel, allowing long-duration testing.

The compact S8005C is a general-purpose flow sensor that can be applied to various engine systems with only a fuel supply circuit and no return circuit, and can be installed simply and quickly in locations such as the engine compartment. The sensor uses quick self-locking connectors, and quick-lock anti-spill connectors can be selected as needed. For engine systems that have both a fuel supply circuit from the tank to the engine and a return circuit back to the tank, the HE8005 heat exchanger is required: the original fuel supply system is divided into two independent fuel circuits (a circuit associated with the engine and a separate circuit associated with the tank), and the heat exchanger cools the fuel between the two circuits to prevent bubbles caused by excessively high fuel temperature in the engine-side circuit. Based on the sensor, heat exchanger, and an optional pressure regulator (which can manually control the fuel pressure of the supply circuit but not the return circuit pressure), the system can be applied to various engine systems, including those with the fuel supply pump installed at the tank or engine end. The maximum allowable circulation flow is 150~170 l/h.

The FCS-D-380/-570/-700 system is designed specifically for diesel engines, with the low-pressure fuel supply pump installed at the engine end (lower fuel supply pressure). The equipment integrates a built-in heat exchanger and offers up to two optional built-in thermocouples for fuel temperature measurement; it connects to the original fuel supply system through four quick-lock anti-spill connectors, and the adapter for connecting the fuel lines is supplied as standard. The integrated system control electronics indicate system status via LEDs (overvoltage, reversed power polarity, temperature out of allowable range, etc.), the integrated fuel pump is fitted with a protection switch, and the system has a rapid shutdown function in the event of a vehicle accident, providing strong protection.

Flowtronic S8005C sensor (motorcycle / passenger car systems)

A general-purpose compact flow sensor suitable for engine systems with only a supply circuit or with a return circuit. Technical parameters: low-pressure fuel pump position at the engine or tank (configurable manually); engine fuel supply line inner diameter ≤12 mm; internal nominal pipe size NW 5.8; quick self-locking connector; pressure regulation only adjusts the fuel supply circuit (optional); measurement range 0.1-250 l/h; maximum fuel circulation flow with return system 150~170 l/h; up to two optional fuel temperature sensors; external fuel pressure sensor optional (up to one internal optional for systems with return); power supply 12V DC; maximum power consumption 5 W (motorcycle system) / 100 W (system with return).

HE8005 heat exchanger

Used for engine systems with a return circuit, it divides the original fuel supply system into two independent fuel circuits on the engine side and the tank side, and cools the fuel between the two circuits to prevent bubbles from forming in the engine-side circuit due to excessively high temperature.

FCS-D-380/-570/-700 system

An integrated system designed specifically for diesel engines (low-pressure fuel pump at the engine end), with an integrated heat exchanger and up to two optional built-in thermocouples. Technical parameters: engine fuel supply line inner diameter ≤20 / ≤25 / ≤25 mm; internal nominal pipe size NW10FF / NW16FF; quick self-locking and anti-spill connectors; measurement range 0.1-250 l/h; maximum fuel circulation flow 340~380 / 520~580 / 700~780 l/h; up to two optional fuel temperature sensors; external fuel pressure sensor optional; power supply 24V DC; maximum power consumption 300 / 450 / 600 W.

Signal conditioning units S8005AD-2 / SCU8005D

The signal conditioning units required for system operation (the two differ in technical characteristics). The S8005AD-2 is used to connect the Flowtronic system to an external existing data acquisition system and is part of the sensor system; it outputs fuel volume (TTL) and flow rate (analog) and displays system status via LED. The SCU8005D has been fully upgraded to the V4 version: multilingual user interface, acceleration fuel consumption measurement, integrated system software, black-and-white touchscreen, data output to an external computer, support for an external printer to promptly print test results, an adjustable suction cup that can be fixed to the front windshield, and dual-pulse output (optional).

Other accessories

Accessories such as transport cases are optional.
