Smart and Wireless Axial Water Turbine Generator for Flow and Temperature Measurement

Kinetron’s Axial Water Turbine Generator (AWTG) is a smart, wireless, and turbine-powered flow & temperature sensor that converts water flow into electrical power. Simultaneously, AWTG measures and wirelessly transmits temperature and water flow data to the user.

The AWTG system is based on a patented turbine flowmeter technology, which combines energy generation and flow measurement within one turbine generator. This makes the system extremely small, accurate, reliable, and affordable.

The turbine generates sufficient energy to measure and wirelessly transmit data over a long distance in a reliable way. Moreover, AWTG can power additional electronic functionalities or charge a capacitor/battery if needed.

The AWTG is a smart self-powered product with a low cost of installation and ownership, no battery replacement, and lifetime user-friendliness.
