Integration of vortex flowmeter is mainly used for industrial piping medium fluid flow measurement, …

Products overview:
ZW - LUGB seriesThe integration of vortex flowmeterIs widely used in the world of gas flow metering instrument, because the instrument has some other incomparable advantages of the flow meter, meter constant stable for a long time, through the piezoelectric probe can measure frequency of vortex separation, on the basis of frequency reflects the flow, can output pulse signal or frequency standard (4 ~ 20 mA current signal, match with corresponding industrial automation instrument, it can display instantaneous and cumulative flow, realize many functions such as flow measurement and automatic control, high reliability, almost no maintenance.Is widely seen as dominant in the future flow meter, orifice flowmeter is the ideal alternative products.Mainly used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electricity, heating and other industries and municipal construction, environmental protection engineering in a variety of liquids, gases and steam flow measurement and control.

Second, the working principle:
ZW - LUGB series vortex flowmeter are integrated in the measuring tube vertically inserted a pillars, the fluid through the pillars on both sides is alternately with the rules of the vortex, the spiral column is called the karman vortex street.The release of the karman vortex street frequency is related to the width of the fluid velocity and pillars, expressed by the type:
f＝St·v/d 
Type: - the release of the karman vortex street frequency f
St - coefficient (called, ha)
V - velocity
D - the width of the pillars
Karman vortex street release frequency f and is directly proportional to the velocity v, so by measuring the karman vortex street release frequency to calculate the instantaneous flow rate.
Stern lo ha is one of the important coefficient of vortex flowmeter.In its number of St 0.17 straight part of the material, the release of the vortex frequency is proportional to the velocity of flow, so check out the velocity v, frequency f can be obtained to calculate volume flow by v.
Vortex flow sensor be vortex frequency is applied to detect sensor by vortex alternately (probe) on in-situ stress in its internal piezoelectric element to check out.
Applications:
ZW - LUGB seriesIntegration of vortex flowmeters are widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, paper, and the city pipe heating, water supply, gas and other industries of all kinds of low viscosity liquid, gas, steam, etc of single-phase fluid process measurement and energy saving management。

Four, the main features:
1, the advantage is ant-vibration performance is very good, no zero drift, high reliability.
2, sensors, versatility is very strong, so that the sensor has good compatibility with advanced CNC processing equipment sensor table body and spiral body, etc., to ensure the machining accuracy, so that the parts (especially spiral body) versatility, thus truly will not affect by parts to replace the repeatability and precision of the sensor;Can produce a strong and stable vortex signal.
3, in a certain range of Reynolds number, flow characteristic from the fluid pressure, the influence of the temperature, viscosity, density, composition, is only involved in the body shape and size of the vortex.
4, output is proportional to the flow of the pulse signal or analog signal, no zero drift, high precision, convenient and computer connected to the Internet.
5, simple structure, no moving parts, high reliability, convenient in operation and maintenance.
6, detecting element, not contact with the media, stable performance and long service life, sensor detection probe with spiral body separate installation, and high temperature piezoelectric crystal seal in detecting probe, not contact with the measured medium, so vortex flowmeter has the characteristics of simple structure, high universality and high stability.
7, wide measuring range, range than can reach 1:10.
8, measure the volume flow without compensation, when the vortex of the output signal is actually with a linear relationship with velocity, namely is proportional to the volume flow.The purpose of the pressure and temperature compensation is to get the fluid density, multiply by volume flow to mass flow, if the measurement of the volume of a gas flow would be no need for compensation.

Six, appearance size:

Seven, pipe requirements:
1, the requirement for straight pipe:
In order to ensure that the instrument, accurate to run normally, sensor must have a certain straight pipe upstream and downstream of the installation points, to adjust the flow field, as shown.

Figure 1: concentric contraction tube;
Figure 2: the concentric expansion tube;
Figure 3: a 90 - degree Angle;
Figure 4: the same plane of two 90 - degree Angle;
Figure 5: different plane of two 90 - degree Angle;
Figure 6: regulating valve should be installed downstream of the sensor in 5 d to the distance, if the sensor must be installed in the upstream, the sensors should be not less than 50 d upstream, straight pipe section downstream straight pipe section should be not less than 5 d.
2, the requirement of pipe:
A, upstream and downstream piping diameter D and the same as the sensor inner diameter DN, its difference satisfy the following conditions: 0.95 DN D 1.1 or less or less DN.
B, piping shall be concentric with sensor, coaxial degree should be less than 0.05 DN.
C, gasket not protruding into the pipe, the inner diameter slightly larger than sensors.
D, if you want to stop inspection and cleaning the sensor, the by-pass pipe should be set up,As shown in the figure below.

 
3, the requirement of pipe vibration:
Sensors to avoid installed on the strong pipeline vibration, if necessary to install, shock absorption measures must be taken, respectively at the upstream and downstream of sensor 2 d piping fastening device, and vibration-proof pad.
Special note: in the air compressor exit strong vibration, cannot install the sensors, shall be installed after the gas storage.

Eight, the requirements:
1, low maintenance - most of the vortex flowmeter are on the market with induction swirl hole or plug-in measurement, once the impurities embedded in the medium pressure hole or sensing element and the table body, the gap between the signal is weak or unstable.A good design should be not easy to plug part, thereby reducing amount of maintenance.
2, inductive components online replacement - some manufacturer of inductive components and vortex street close 2 for one, seemingly simple design to the actual use of inconvenience.Because once induction part failure, you need to medium to the pipe emptying replacement parts, after pressure relief effect production.Perfect design should be separated the two, so can replace the induction part alone, without emptying the media.
3, vortex flowmeter is vulnerable to vibration interference, well-designed vortex flowmeter can through hardware and digital signal processing to exclude interference, and the stability of the signal is obtained.
4, vortex flow meter before and after the installation of a hassle to very long straight section, some manufacturers can offer within the flowmeter reducing design, greatly reduces the user specifically MenWei vortex flowmeter with the demand of the straight pipe.
Need to pay attention to during the period of nine, debugging, using question:
1, flowmeter, on-site installation, maintenance, must abide by the "explosion-proof gas do not open" warnings, and in the open before turn off the power supply.
2, vortex flow meter used in outdoor, suggestion and side shields.
3, shall not be arbitrarily fixed part loosen the flowmeter.The protection of the pressure sensor.Users in the use of traffic time, should pay attention to the flow pressure overload value of pressure sensor is rated working pressure of 1.5 times (that is, the media zui high pressure of 1.5 times).Selection should be within the prescribed flow range, prevent overspeed operation, in order to obtain the ideal accuracy and ensure the normal service life.(due to pressure test, purging pipes or exhaust overdrive, and turbine operation in the reverse flow meter can cause damage)
4 when put into operation, the vortex street flowmeter, should slowly open valve, prevent damage of instantaneous flow and the turbine.Add lubricant should be according to the sign, the number of refueling depends on temperament clean degree, usually 2 ~ 3 times a year.
5, vortex street flowmeter runtime or alternate internal related parameters are not allowed to open the rear cover, otherwise will affect the normal operation of the meter.
Ten, install and use should be paid attention to in the items:
Vortex street no mechanical moving parts, small size, corrosion resistance, stable performance, can be directly display medium work pressure, temperature, flow rate and volume under standard state, wide range, the advantages of small measurement error, has been widely used in oil and gas well production measurement and gas sales.In years of field application, we think the flowmeter zui suitable for relatively clean dry gas metering, gradually become small and medium-sized gas metering.To guarantee the accuracy of the flowmeter measurement, reduce the measuring error, please note:
1, the selection of reasonable
Don't make the actual zui small flow meter QVmin below the selected through runoff flow range limit.
2, installation is correct
Upstream of the vortex flowmeter should have at least 10 d measuring straight pipe length.Straight pipe inner surface should be smooth, cannot have the steps, more smooth connecting flange weld, flange gasket can't into the pipe.Don't put the wrong installation direction of the flow meter.Tests showed that: all the unreasonable installation, will lead to the flowmeter measurement value is low.
3, away from the source of shocks, or install piers in upstream or downstream flow meter, in order to avoid the influence of the pipeline vibration.Avoid strong magnetic field disturbance to the flow meter chip.
4, temperament is relatively clean
Especially not a gas liquid two phase flow;Temperament is dirty, should clean instant flow meter.
5, and reduce the influence of flow pulsation
It can be installed in front of the flow meter buffer tank, or extended length of straight pipe upstream of the flow meter, computation.
6, timely flowmeter for metrological verification, to ensure accurate and reliable value.
Eleven, selection of points:
Correct selection to ensure that the use of vortex flowmeter is better.Should choose what kind of vortex street flowmeter is based on the current body to determine the physical properties and chemical properties of the medium?Make the size of vortex flowmeter, flow range, lining materials, electrode materials and output current, etc?To be the nature of the flow volume and flow measurement requirements.
1, precision function
Precision grade and function in accordance with the requirements of measurement and choose the instrument using fine grade, cost-effective.Such as for trade settlement, product transfer and energy measurement occasions, should choose high precision grade, such as 1.0, 0.5, or higher level;Used in process control, according to the requirements of control choose not with precision grade;Some just check process flow, without having to do precise control and measurement, can choose lower precision grade, such as 1.5, 2.5, 4.0, and even then you can choose cheap plug-in vortex flowmeter.
2, medium can be measured
Medium velocity and diameter, full scale measurement generally medium, the full flow of vortex flowmeter can measure medium velocity in 0.5-12 m/s within the scope of selection, range is wide.Choose different instrument specifications (diameter) and process piping, the same shall consider whether measuring flow range within the scope of the flow velocity, namely when the pipeline flow rate is low, can not meet the requirement of the flow meter, or under the velocity measurement accuracy of the quasi cannot guarantee, the need to reduce the size instrument, which carry high tube flow velocity, measurement results are satisfied.
3, the selection of vortex flow transmitter
In saturated vapor measurement using VA type piezoelectric vortex flow transmitter, due to the vortex flow meter range wide, therefore, in practice, the measurement of saturated steam flow main consideration shall not be less than the lower limit of vortex flowmeters, that is to say, must satisfy the fluid flow rate shall be not less than 5 m/s.According to the size of the YongQiLiang chooses different caliber of vortex flow transmitter, rather than with the existing technology to choose transmitter diameter pipe size.
The choice of 4 pressure transmitter, pressure compensation
Because of the saturated steam pipe length, pressure fluctuation is bigger, pressure compensation must be used, considering the pressure, temperature and density, the relation between measurement using pressure compensation, because the pipeline saturated steam pressure in the range 0.3 0.7 MPa, pressure transmitter ranges 1 MPa.
5, display instrument selection
Display instrument intelligent flow display, a voltage compensation, the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow integrating function.

Twelve, matters needing attention:

1, special flange and straight pipe welding can't with the sensor.

2, when installation should make the flow of sensor mark the direction of flow and the pipe.

3, before the installation of sensor and the flange must be put away in sealing ring grooves.The location of the pressure and temperature measurement point, pressure downstream of the sensor in 3 ~ 5 dn, temperature measuring points in the downstream of 5 ~ 8 dn.

4, when measuring high temperature medium, do not use heat insulation material to wrap around the sensor link rod.

5, shielded cable to connect the sensor, should as far as possible away from the interference of strong electromagnetic field.Absolutely not allowed with high voltage cable laying, shielded cable to shorten as far as possible, and shall not be volume, in order to reduce stray inductance, length should not exceed 200 m.

6, before installation of sensors, pipeline cleaning must be conducted.Flow after rinse tube impurities, avoid clogging sensor.Measuring liquid pipe must be full of measured liquid, prevent the interference of bubbles.

7, measuring gas pipelines to prevent the interference of reservoir fluid.Replace the probe body under the high temperature and high pressure, it must be safe operation, high temperature protection.After cooling step-down replaceable probe at the bottom of the safety conditions.
