Automotive

Vectoflow's lightweight probes are ideal for Motorsport applications, for example on racing cars but also in the wind tunnel.

Probes

Conventional multi-hole probes

Multi-hole probes offer straightforward operation to enable concurrent detection of critical aerodynamic and thermodynamic variables:

  • angle of attack
  • speed
  • static and total pressure
  • total temperature
  • other relevant values

Rakes

Rakes combine several measuring heads in one probe and are therefore ideal for measuring flow variables at several measuring points simultaneously. Rakes can be equipped with the following measuring heads:

  • 3-, 4-, 5-, 7-, 14-hole head,
  • Pitot head,
  • keel total pressure head,
  • Kiel total temperature head,
  • Preston Kopf,
  • Prandtl head.

FRAP Air - Unsteady flow measurement systems

High frequency measurement at low speeds. Precise detection and analysis of high-frequency flow phenomena at low speeds.

FRAP Pro – Unsteady flow measurement systems

FRAP Pro is Vectoflow’s transient flow probes that combine the robustness of pressure probes (e.g. 5-hole probes) with a high temporal resolution of the pressure signal. Depending on the probe geometry, frequencies in the kHz range can also be measured.

iProbe

Vectoflow’s iProbe is a compact and lightweight system for measuring speeds and angles of attack for mobile applications. Fluid dynamic measurements with a multi-hole probe have never been this quick and easy!

Omniprobe

The 14-hole Omniprobe from Vectoflow enables measurement of flow angles ranging up to ±160°. Similar to all other multi-hole probes by Vectoflow, the Omniprobe is capable of measuring the following flow parameters:

  • angle of attack
  • speed
  • static and total pressure
  • and other aerodynamic and thermodynamic quantities

Kiel probes

Vectoflow's Kiel probes feature a uniquely optimised inlet geometry, ensuring precise measurement of total pressure and total temperature with an accuracy of XNUMX%. These probes are capable of accurately capturing flow angles of up to XNUMX°.

Radiator probe

Vectoflow radiator probes offer a simple way to equip your radiator with probes that measure total mass flow and mass flow distribution through the unit.

Special multi-hole probes

With our manufacturing process, almost all probes or geometries can be manufactured. Simply send us a geometry or describe your problem and we will find a solution.
The advantage can be seen directly in the example of the lobbed nozzle. It was printed from a cobalt chrome alloy and then subjected to a surface treatment as part of the manufacturing process.
Several pressure channels and openings for thermocouples are integrated into the nozzle, which allows a lot of information about the exhaust gas flow behind a thruster to be determined simultaneously. The nozzle is an integral part of the small gas turbine, so why not install it with the instrumentation already fully equipped?

Systems

Example truss system

Traverse System

Vectoflow offers complete solutions incorporating flow probes, probe calibration, hardware for pressure and temperature measurement as well as measurement and control software (VectoVis Pro). Our product portfolio is supplemented by a wide range of traverse systems for use in wind tunnels but also in gas turbines and many other areas to enable users to precisely position and move measurement their devices. Traverse systems can be fully controlled with VectoVis Pro, allowing for perfect integration into the overall system. Even loads of 1200 N and more are no problem for Vectoflow's traverse systems and their consistent positioning accuracy.

Air Data Systems

The VectoDAQ Air Data Computer together with flow measuring probes from Vectoflow forms a compact and lightweight system for measuring flow variables in mobile applications.

EvoScann P-Series Pressure Scanner

Vectoflow is the sales partner of the EvoScann P-Series pressure scanner from Evolution Measurement in Germany. The EvoScann P-Series pressure scanner is a highly miniaturized pressure scanner that can be used particularly well in the automotive industry. Its robust housing makes it ideal for in-car testing and its small size allows measurements in previously inaccessible areas.

Software

VectoVis Professional

VectoVis Professional is a software that provides a comprehensive solution for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and evaluation of Vectoflow's most common sensors and flow probes. It allows users to control traverse systems, configure hardware environments, and customise flow probes. Users can visualize and store both raw and fully evaluated data, as well as define automatic test plans where traverses can be manipulated, data recorded, evaluated and saved. VectoVis Professional is structured with a framework and separate modules tailored for different probe types, ensuring versatility and adaptability to specific measurement needs.
