FUSION

FUSION Flowmeters

The FUSION system allows an operator to truly analyze the effectiveness of fuel saving strategies, and to provide a simple, but effective, means to show the operating crew real-time fuel consumption and engine efficiency so they can select optimum throttle position for any sea or weather condition. The flow meters provide precise measurement of fuel flow under all conditions so that the system maintains accuracy.

The FUSION flow meters are calibrated using a primary standard calibrator via a universal viscosity curve (UVC). That way, the meters can be matched exactly with the fuel being used. Because the meters are automatically temperature compensated, they remain accurate regardless of fuel type or fuel temperature.

FUSION flow meters are available for a wide variety of engines, typically in the range 500 hp to 8,000 hp. The flow meters are designed so they cannot block the fuel lines even in the unlikely event that the rotor seizes. Vessel safety is never compromised.
