Cryogenic Flowmeters
About Hoffer Cryogenic Flowmeters
Cryogenic Electronics | The ICE is Hoffer’s most advanced truck-mounted cryogenic flow metering system. The design is the culmination of 50+ years of Hoffer experience with cryogenic fluid measurement.
The full-color graphical display and electronic touch screen ensure a user-friendly operator interface and direct access to all measurement and configuration parameters. A typical system includes ICE, a turbine flowmeter, temperature sensor, optional pressure sensor, and optional printer.
ICE INTEGRATED CRYOGENIC ELECTRONICS
Cryogenic flow measurement systems from Hoffer now offer a Mobile App for ICE Cryogenic Truck Systems. Your truck deliveries will be accessible with Hoffer’s ICE Mobile App using Bluetooth LE technology. Furthermore, the App will provide the user with many convenient functions right at their fingertips.
- Available for iOS and Android*
- Monitor your deliveries and view error conditions
- Obtain signatures for deliveries and email delivery tickets
- Save delivery tickets locally and to the cloud
Access and change the ICE configuration from your phone - Email ICE configuration, audit trail, and trip reports
LNG FLOW MEASUREMENT
Hoffer has a long history of supplying cryogenic flow measurement systems on bulk delivery tankers for LIN, LOX, LAR, and CO2. Given our experience in this niche industry, it was only natural that our flow measurement solutions for tanker transports would expand to enable us to offer turbine flow meter-based flow products for use on LNG.
As a result, the flow system components we supply for tankers delivering LNG for custody transfer typically include a flanged turbine flow meter, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor. The most critical component we supply for LNG measurement is the ICE cryogenic flow computer.
Custody transfer flow transaction
This ICE flow computer is designed, built and calibrated by our company. Given that bulk delivery of LNG by a tanker to an end-user (customer) is a “custody transfer” flow transaction, the flow system must comply with regulatory standards appropriate for the product being sold.
For LNG transactions in the United States, the flow system must comply with Handbook 44 and NTEP approval. Additionally, ICE also meets the requirements of OIML R81 and OIML R117 with many international approvals, including MID (European Union), NMI (Australia), SIRIM/NMIM (Malaysia), NRCS (South Africa), MBIE (New Zealand), and the government of India.

Cryogenic Truck-mounted Delivery System are Comprehensive and Reliable
The Hoffer truck-mounted cryogenic flow metering system withstands the rigors of over-the-road service. Moreover, they to operate reliably in the accompanying temperature extremes they will see in actual service. Furthermore, Hoffer Cryogenic Flow Systems allow for superior performance and ease of use. For instance, the system provides accurate flow measurement of commonly delivered industrial gases while having printer output capability. The system requires minimal operator involvement.
Advanced Metering Reporting and Communication Capabilities
The cryogenic flow system provides advanced reporting and communication capabilities. For example, reporting for delivery, trip, and maintenance via Hoffer printers or computer communication. Above all, the flow system is designed to comply with O.I.M.L.—R81 standard, Handbook 44, and various design approvals.
The ICE, Hoffer’s latest in Integrated Cryogenic Electronics, is engineered using the latest technology. Specifically, to provide the most comprehensive features in a cryogenic truck-mounted delivery system. For example, the typical application includes ICE as the primary electronic indicating element of a bulk delivery system for CO2 and Cryogenic liquids. Other system components typically include a turbine flow meter, temperature sensor, optional pressure sensor, and optional printer.
