Accurate measurement of steam flow is crucial for energy management, cost control, and process optimization in industrial production. As an advanced flow measurement instrument, the intelligent steam vortex flowmeter has become an ideal choice for steam flow measurement due to its high precision, wide range, low pressure loss, and intelligent functions.
The intelligent steam vortex flowmeter operates based on the Karman vortex principle. When the fluid flows through the vortex generator in the pipeline, vortices proportional to the flow velocity will be alternately generated at its rear. The frequency of these vortices is proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid, and by detecting the vortex frequency, the flow velocity and flow rate of the fluid can be calculated.
Technical characteristics:
1. High precision and wide range: Measurement accuracy can reach ± 1.0%~± 1.5%, with a range ratio of up to 1:10, suitable for large-scale flow fluctuation scenarios.
2. Low pressure loss: Designed with no movable parts, it has low pressure loss and low operating costs, especially suitable for long-term monitoring of high energy consuming media such as steam.
3. High temperature and high pressure resistance: Piezoelectric stress or capacitive sensors are used, with a working temperature range covering -20 ℃~+250 ℃. Some models can withstand higher temperatures and adapt to high-temperature steam environments.
4. Intelligence and integration: Built in temperature and pressure compensation function, which can automatically compensate for changes in fluid density and directly output standard volume flow rate or mass flow rate. Supports analog signal (4-20mA) and digital pulse signal output, compatible with computer systems, facilitating data acquisition and analysis.
5. Easy installation and adaptability: The installation requirements are simple, with short straight pipe sections (15D upstream and 5D downstream), supporting horizontal, vertical, or side installation, and adapting to different pipeline layouts.
Application Scenario:
1. Thermal power plant: Monitor the flow of main steam and cooling water pipelines to ensure normal equipment operation and efficient energy utilization.
2. Printing and dyeing factory: Measure the steam consumption of each shaping machine to control production costs.
3. Petrochemical plant: Measure the flow rate of high-temperature cracking gas, which fluctuates greatly and requires vibration resistance.
4. Brewery: Measure the CO ₂ flow rate in the fermentation tank to solve the problem of gas-liquid mixing measurement.
5. Central heating: measure hot water flow, design anti air pockets, and optimize the operation of the heating system.
Intelligent steam vortex flowmeter has become an important tool in the field of industrial steam flow measurement due to its advanced measurement principles and rich functional characteristics. It not only improves the accuracy and reliability of measurement, but also reduces maintenance costs through intelligent functions, providing strong support for the efficient operation of industrial production.
