for Real-time in-situ Velocity or Simultaneous Velocity

and Size Measurements

compact and Stand-alone

the compact Powersight module includes the laser, transmitting and

receiving optics, and all control electronics for use as a standalone module

for velocity measurements as a Laser doppler Velocimetry (LdV) system;

or for simultaneous velocity and particle size measurements as a Phase

doppler Particle analyzer (PdPa) system.

ease of Use

the new module is a turnkey system, not requiring any adjustment by

the user. the module can be positioned to align with your desired flow

direction for optimal signals and results.

flexibility

the module provides the flexibility of using various focusing lenses and

beam expanders or contactors for different standoffs and measurement

volume sizes to accommodate your challenging measurement

applications. the module also offers the option to adapt with fiberoptic

probes for measurements in underwater situations and

hostile environments.

power and precision

combining state-of-the-art solid state laser technology and tsi’s patented

and proven signal processing technique, the Powersight system gives

reliable, accurate measurements for your research. Using the new

microsoft® windows® 7 64-bit based Flowsizer-64 software with the

LdV/PdPa systems, you can easily navigate the software for even the

most demanding measurements. Plus, results come instantly, allowing

you to make adjustments as needed.

Move Your Measurements out of the Laboratory

the Powersight module is compact, making the system ideal for field

studies. if needed, the module can be coupled with a fiberoptic probe to be

used in underwater and hostile environments in the field as well.

an innovative Solution for LDV and pDpa

the versatile and powerful argon-ion laser based system has been the

standard system for many years, but the new Powersight system can

now be used to meet many of your measurement needs as well, including:

+ supersonic flows

+ turbulent flows and Boundary layer flows

+ Large scale wind tunnel flows

+ water channel flows

+ Low speed flows with occasional spray measurements

+ automotive fuel spray

+ medical inhaler spray

+ aircraft combustor spray

+ Bubbly flow

+ slurry spray (opaque fluids)

Systems to Meet Your Measurement Requirements

three models of the Powersight modules are available to accommodate the

system configurations from 1d to 3d of velocity components, including :

+ tr-ss-1d-532 (1d module expandable to 2d)

+ tr-ss-2d (2d module)

+ tr-ss-1d-553 (1d module used as 3d configuration)

all the modules are in transceiver configuration with built-in receiving

optics for velocity, providing velocity measurements in 1d, 2d or 3d

arrangments. For simultaneous velocity and particle sizing, the Phase

doppler receiver is added. the patented intensity validation* technique

continues to be used in this system for the best particle sizing results.

the reliable Pdm Photomultiplier module and Fsa signal processor are

used with the module to make up the complete system. dependening on

the application, the 1d, 2d and 3d Pdm module and the Fsa-3500 or Fsa-

4000 signal processor unit (velocity or particle sizing type) is selected to

customize your applications and measurements. the eB and eic modules

continue to be used for external signal input and once-Per-rev input for

rotating machinery applications.

the state-of-art Flowsizer-64 software, running in windows® 7 64-

bit environment, allows you to operate the Powersight system easily

and flawlessly. the software detects the hardware configuration

automatically so that it is ready for optimal measurement once the

model of the Powersight module is entered. the software also controls

the power output of the laser for best signal to noise ratio. if you are

interested in customizing hardware settings, the advanced setting pages

allows you to get your desirable results and statistics.

Flowsizer-64 is fully configurable to display the plots and statistics you

need. seeking a unique way of looking at your data? no problem, with the

custom graph and statistics designer you can easily create any plot for

getting the most from your measurements!
