The textile industry, as an important component of traditional manufacturing, requires accurate measurement and control of fluid media during its production process. The split type vortex flowmeter has been widely used in the textile industry due to its high precision, wide range ratio, corrosion resistance, and good seismic resistance. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the application advantages, working principles, and practical application cases of split vortex flowmeters in the textile industry.
1、 Working principle of split vortex flowmeter
The split type vortex flowmeter measures flow by detecting the vortex vibration generated when the fluid passes through the pipeline. When the fluid flows through the vortex generator inside the flowmeter, alternating vortices (vortex streets) will be generated on both sides. The frequency of these vortices is proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid, and by detecting changes in vortex frequency, the flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. The split type vortex flowmeter is designed to separate the sensor and transmitter for easy installation and maintenance, while also improving the stability and accuracy of the measurement.
2、 The advantages of split vortex flowmeter in the textile industry
1. high-precision measurementThe textile industry has high requirements for flow control of fluid media, especially in processes such as dyeing and finishing. The split type vortex flowmeter has a high measurement accuracy (± 2.5% R), which can ensure the accuracy of flow data and provide reliable basis for process control.
2. Wide range ratioThe textile industry uses a wide variety of fluid media with a wide range of flow rates. The range ratio of the split type vortex flowmeter is wide, reaching 1:30, which can adapt to the flow measurement needs of different process links.
3. Strong corrosion resistanceChemicals and dyes used in the textile industry often have strong corrosiveness. The body material of the split type vortex flowmeter is mostly corrosion-resistant material (such as PTFE), which can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments.
4. Good seismic performanceTextile machinery and equipment will generate certain vibrations during operation. The split type vortex flowmeter adopts a capacitive sensor, which has strong seismic resistance and can maintain measurement accuracy in high vibration environments.
5. Easy to install and maintainThe split type vortex flowmeter adopts a split design, and the sensor and transmitter can be installed separately for easy on-site installation and maintenance. Meanwhile, its structure is simple and sturdy, with no vulnerable parts, reducing maintenance costs.
3、 Practical application cases
In the textile industry, split type vortex flowmeters are widely used in various aspects such as dye transportation, cooling water circulation, and compressed air supply. Here is a practical application case:
A certain textile enterprise requires a large amount of dye solution in the dyeing process. In order to accurately control the flow rate of dye solution, the company adopted a split type vortex flowmeter for measurement. By installing a split type vortex flowmeter on the dye delivery pipeline, enterprises can monitor the flow rate of dye solution in real time and make precise adjustments according to process requirements. This not only improves the stability and consistency of the dyeing process, but also reduces dye consumption and wastewater discharge, achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.
4、 Conclusion
The split type vortex flowmeter has been widely used in the textile industry due to its high precision, wide range ratio, strong corrosion resistance, and good seismic performance. It can not only meet the demand for fluid medium flow measurement in the textile industry, but also provide reliable data support for process control, helping textile enterprises achieve efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly production goals. With the continuous development and technological progress of the textile industry, the application prospects of split vortex flowmeter will be even broader.
