The Badger Meter ModMAG M2000 measures conductive liquid flow, with applications in data centre chilled-water and cooling-water systems. Communication options support integration with building and plant monitoring systems.
Cooling-water flow is an important part of understanding how a data centre cooling system is performing. The Badger Meter ModMAG M2000 electromagnetic flow meter provides flow measurement for conductive liquids and can be considered for chilled-water and cooling-water circuits.
For a new installation or replacement project, Seacom can review the required flow range, pipework and communication requirements to help identify a suitable configuration.
The M2000 provides standard RS232 Modbus RTU communication. Optional interfaces include RS485 Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, HART and Profibus DP. These options require the appropriate communication daughterboard.
Include the required protocol in your enquiry so the meter configuration can be checked against your BMS or controls specification.
Badger’s referenced data sheet specifies 3–7 pipe diameters upstream and 2 downstream for optimum performance. It also lists zero-straight-run performance of ±1% for DN50–DN800 at velocities of at least 0.15 m/s, under the stated OIML/MID conditions. Confirm applicability to the proposed installation.
Confirm fluid conductivity and wetted-material compatibility. Do not assume suitability for ultrapure water, dielectric coolant or a water/glycol mixture without checking its properties. The meter must operate with a full pipe and suitable grounding.
Flow is one input to cooling-energy measurement. A complete calculation also needs supply and return temperatures, fluid properties and suitable calculation equipment. The M2000 alone should not be specified as a complete thermal-energy metering system.
