Saturated steam vortex flowmeter flow meter

The application of vortex flowmeter flow meter on saturated steam has many advantages, including high precision,

 wide range, high temperature and high pressure resistance, strong anti-interference ability, etc. The vortex 

flowmeter calculates the flow rate by measuring the vortex frequency generated when the fluid flows through the

 vortex generator in the pipeline. This method has the advantages of non-contact and no resistance loss.

Working principle

The working principle of the vortex flow meter is based on the "vortex effect". When the fluid flows through the

 vortex generator, a series of alternating vortices will be formed behind it. The frequency of these vortices is 

proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. By measuring the frequency of these vortices, the flow rate of the fluid can

 be calculated. Specifically, when the fluid passes through the vortex flow transmitter in the pipeline, two columns

 of vortices proportional to the flow rate will be generated alternately up and down behind the vortex generator. 

The release frequency of the vortex is related to the average velocity of the fluid flowing through the vortex 

generator and the characteristic width of the vortex generator.

Installation and maintenance

The following points should be noted when installing the vortex flowmeter:

‌1. Keep away from vibration sources and electromagnetic interference: Try to install it in a place away from vibration

 sources and strong electromagnetic interference, and use a shock absorber if necessary.

‌2. Straight pipe section requirements: The front and rear straight pipe sections must meet the requirements of the

 vortex flowmeter, and the inner diameter of the pipe must also be consistent with the inner diameter of the vortex

 flow transmitter.

‌3. Vibration influence: When the vibration is large and cannot be eliminated, the vortex flowmeter should not be used.

Application scenarios

The application scenarios of vortex flowmeter in saturated steam include:

‌ 1. Steam boiler: Used to monitor the saturated steam flow at the boiler outlet to ensure the efficient operation and

 safe operation of the boiler.

‌ 2. Industrial heating equipment: Used for saturated steam flow monitoring in heating equipment to ensure the 

safety and efficiency of the heating process.

‌ 3. Heat exchanger: Used to monitor the saturated steam flow in the heat exchanger to ensure the safety and 

efficiency of the heat exchange process.

4. Steam network: used to monitor the saturated steam flow in the steam network to ensure the normal operation

 of the network and save energy and reduce consumption.
