Product overview
The FVS intelligent vortex street flowmeter is of good medium adaptive capacity, can be used to directly measure the volume flow under the working condition of steam, air, gas, water and liquid, and equipped with temperature and pressure sensor to measure the volume flow rate and mass flow rate under standard conditions. The parameters is capable of long-term stable working. The piezoelectric stress sensor can be used to work under the operating temperature scope of -20℃~+250℃. There is a simulated standard signal and a digital pulse signal output. It can be used with computer and other digital systems and is an advanced and ideal flow instrument. It's applicable to all fields (such as petroleum, chemical engineering, thermal power generation, lithium battery new energy industry, metallurgy, food, environmental protection and hydraulic engineering).
Operating principle:
The FVS vortex street flowmeter is constituted by vortex generator, detection probe and corresponding electronic circuit designed in the flow field. When the fluid flows through the vortex generator, two alternating rows of vortexes are formed on two ends of it, and such vortex is called as Karman Vortex Street. Strouhal proposed that the frequency of Karman Vortex Street was proportional to the flow rate of the fluid based on the theory of Karman Vortex Street and provided the relationship between frequency and velocity:
f = St × V/d, wherein:
f: frequency of occurrence of vortex street (Hz)
V: mean flow rate on both sides of vortex generator (m/s)
St: Strouhal 's coefficient (constant)
These alternating vortexes form a series of alternating negative pressures which act on the detection probe to produces a series of alternating electrical signals and output the pulse frequency signal proportional to vortex synchronization (or standard signal) after conversion, shaping and amplification processing by the pre-amplifier.
