Boat vessel Marine heavy fuel oil diesel oil HSFO HFO MDO Oval gear flowmeter
Oval gear flowmeter is widely used in measuring fuel on board and has significant advantages.
Oval gear flowmeter measures the flow of fluid through a pair of meshing oval gears. When the fluid enters the
flowmeter, the pressure difference drives the gear to rotate. The volume of fluid discharged per rotation is fixed.
The total amount of fluid flowing through can be calculated by measuring the number of rotations of the gear.
This design makes the oval gear flowmeter have high accuracy and high reliability when measuring fuel, and is
suitable for key parts such as ship fuel system, lubrication system and cooling water system.
Advantages and applicability
1. High-precision measurement : The oval gear flowmeter ensures the accuracy of measurement through the close
fit between the oval gear and the housing, as well as advanced sensor technology.
2. Durability and reliability : During the long-term voyage of the ship, in the face of harsh conditions such as
seawater erosion, high temperature and high pressure, the oval gear flowmeter can still maintain stable
performance and ensure the continuity and accuracy of the data.
3. Wide applicability : The flowmeter can coexist harmoniously with a variety of fluid media, whether it is gasoline,
diesel, kerosene, lubricating oil or other chemical liquids, it can be accurately measured.
Installation and Maintenance
The installation and maintenance of the oval gear flowmeter is relatively simple. Due to its compact structure and
sophisticated design, it is suitable for applications on ships with limited space and complex environments.
Regularly checking the wear of the gears and cleaning the gears and pipes can extend their service life and
maintain measurement accuracy.
