"VioSense
announces Partnership with Engineering Laboratory Design
Inc."
On
June 24, 2002, VioSense announced a Partnership Agreement with
Engineering Laboratory Design Inc. of Lake City, Minnesota
(ELD, Inc). ELD Inc. is a recognized industry leader in the
design and production of custom and standard fluid dynamics
equipment including: wind tunnels, water tunnels, hydraulic
demonstration and sediment channels and AMCA/ASHRAE fan test
apparatus. They also supply turnkey equipment
installations for research and educational institutions and
the manufacturing industry worldwide. With 35 years of proven
success and experience, they have a well-deserved reputation
for high quality research equipment, responsiveness to
individual customer requirements and the ability to supply
cost conscious solutions, delivered on a timely
basis.
This
partnership will include joint marketing and product
development between the two companies. In relation to this,
VioSense will introduce the first product of this
collaboration, the “Educational Flow Facility”, and begin
to market the wind tunnels, water tunnels, hydraulic
demonstration and sediment channels manufactured by ELD
Inc.

“Optical Hotwire”
To
meet industry needs VioSense has developed a MicroVelocimeter
for minimally intrusive, and highly accurate measurements of
fluid flows in difficult environments. Designed to be situated
at the end of a 6mm OD sensor housing the end packaging looks
similar to that of a Hot Wire probe.As a result, we’ve
internally coined this product as an “Optical
Hotwire”
The
new design provides for several advantages in comparison to a
standard thermal anemometer, such as:
Linear
response,
No
need for calibration,
Insensitivity
to fluctuations of temperature, pressure, etc.
Further
advantages result from the polymeric surface on which the DOE
is written, in that the operating temperature of the sensor
could be as high as 360F, without any
problems.
Also, because the probe has a short
working distance, it can provide measurements in murky flows, two phase flows, or flows
that are not easily accessible optically. The only requirement
is for the physical access of the 6mm OD sensor housing. The
“Optical Hotwire” can also be situated on a traversing
mechanism, for measurements of velocity profiles in flows,
which would be difficult to measure using either the standard
laser based velocity sensors or hot wire
probes.

Educational Flow
Facility
Our first collaboration with ELD, Inc.,
has resulted in the design of an experimental fluid mechanics
laboratory that includes a set of experiments, documentation,
and measurement system developed specifically for student
education.
