FUEL MONITORING EXPERT FUEL MONITORING EXPERT

SOLUTION
Customer: Fuel management company
DFM fuel flow meters are mounted into engine system to measure total fuel economy, hourly fuel
Task: Fuel management and costs reduction on generators consumption, also engine working hours and fuel temperature. Besides, that total fuel monitoring system give
customer possibility to know about generator power, battery voltage and rpm. It is possible to set up email
Machinery: Diesel generators notifications about any rapid changes. In this case differential fuel flow meter was used – DFM 500D with CAN
interface.
Solution: DFM fuel flow meters + tracking device DFM 500D CAN allows to get messages remotely for feed and reverse fuel flow rates separately, net fuel
consumption of engine and fuel temperature in real time. Also, CAN interface allows to send ready parameters
Result: Fuel costs reduction up to 30% + in liters (gallons) that makes 99% accuracy of fuel measurement and display data on server. Each DFM fuel
monitoring of engine load and working hours flow meter has option of recording modes of engine operation and performs self-diagnostics to detect
interference into system and prevent fuel theft. The following online reports were created for a customer.

CUSTOMER
Company provides services in Fuel management to find the best way for a
customer to lower fuel costs and increase efficiency. Their customers from bank
sphere have large network of generators.

Customer’s company utilizes a CORE Analysis that investigates the issues and
probes deeper to uncover base causes within the company. That analysis is
centered on the four areas of Revenue, Finance, People and Technology. Company

< 75% load with fan – 130.4 L/hr
< 50% load with fan – 90.9 L/hr “We proposed DFM fuel flow meter for generators application because it is easy and high accurate way to
monitor fuel consumption. Differential fuel flow meter doesn't require to change engine system, plus CAN
interface of the device give much more parameters for a customer than any other digital or impulse flow meters.
Generators automatically starts working and it is important to know about exact time of engine running time and
fuel consumption during that exact time and location.”

RESULT
Most Nigerian businesses rely on diesel-powered generators because of the
poor electricity infrastructure. That is why bank industry has large network of own After DFM fuel flow meters and monitoring system are deployed in generators, customer can control full generator working conditions, fuel

The customer assigns the task to equip generators with remote monitoring
system of fuel consumption to be able to get the following information: Michael customer’s representative
