Principles of Operation
Vortices
are created when a fluid passes around a bluff body as shown in
illustration (click Images Tab above). Vortices are alternately shed on
each side of the body, 180 degrees out of phase to each other, resulting
in an oscillating pressure gradient. As flow increases the frequency of
vortices increases in proportion to the increased flow thereby creating
a linear relationship.
General Description
Constructed of type 316 stainless steel, Vortex meters may be installed
in-line by customer provided or built-in flanges. Key pad or
communication interface functionalities include measuring units,
programmable flow alarm, two programmable totalizers, programmable flow
rate pulse output, two programmable optically isolated outputs, battery
backed real time clock (RTC), digital communication interface (RS-232 or
RS-485), programmable diagnostic events log and register with date/time
stamp, programmable process variable log with date/time stamp,
calibration and flowing fluid parameters adjustment, extensive
diagnostics.
Aalborg's unique dual signal processing technology
independently measures each vortex on either side of the bluff body and
filters out non-flow noise. This results in less noise and higher
accuracy throughout the flow range.
Additionally, the
Multiparameter Vortex meter uses a platinum resistance temperature
detector (PRTD) to measure process fluid temperature, and a solid state
pressure transducer to measure process fluid pressure. The built-in
computer calculates fluid density, volumetric and mass flow rates.
Local
2x16 LCD readout provides flow rate, temperature, pressure, density,
total flow volume reading in selectable engineering units, diagnostic
events indication, and feature password protected access to process
parameters to prevent tempering or resetting.
