HYDRO-MAX :
HYDRO-MAX Hydro-Max is a solid state fluid flow monitor
There are no moving parts, no impediment to the fluid flow and no energy extracted from the flow
HYDRO-MAX Model 1 Setup :
HYDRO-MAX Model 1 Setup The upper container holds water
This water flows through the valve (red knob), through the Hydro-Max and into the lower container
The black cable contains the sensing leads
HYDRO-MAX andDATA AQUISITION :
HYDRO-MAX andDATA AQUISITION Equipment for flowing water through the HYDRO-MAX
Data Acquisition box
Computer to display the flow measurement
Demonstration of the HYDRO-MAX :
Demonstration of the HYDRO-MAX Start the computer readout with the mouse
Start the water flow (open the red valve)
When the flow is complete, stop the computer trace
Computer screen showing the response of the sensor to the water flow – the beginning and drop off in flow :

The Future for the Hydro-Max :
The Future for the Hydro-Max With demonstration of Model 1, subsequent models will be smaller
Better computer hardware and software will allow data acquisition for years
Combining flow and temperature measurement will allow better regulation and lower heat input for water heaters
Lower heating costs for large systems
