1、 Working principle
ARSLUOn site display shows that the current output type vortex flowmeter is equipped with a triangular column vortex generator in the fluid, which alternately generates two columns of regular vortices from both sides of the vortex generator. This type of vortex is called Karman vortex street
ARSLUThe vortex column of the current type vortex flowmeter is asymmetrically arranged downstream of the vortex generator. Let the frequency of vortex occurrence befThe average velocity of the incoming flow of the tested medium isVThe width of the upstream face of the vortex generator isdThe diameter of the body isDAccording to the principle of Karman vortex street, there is the following relationship:
f=St.V/[](1-1.25d/D)d[]
In the formula:
fFrequency of Karman vortex generated on one side of the body
StStrohal number
V- Average flow velocity of fluid
d- Column flow surface width
D-PIPE INNER DIAMETER
By installing capacitance detection probes or piezoelectric detection probes and corresponding matching circuits in the vortex generator, a capacitance detection vortex flow rate can be formed/Sensor or piezoelectric detection type vortex flow sensor.
In the curve tableSt=0.17The frequency of vortex release is proportional to the flow velocity in the straight part of the vortex,That is, the measurement range of the vortex flow sensor. As long as the frequency is detectedfThe flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipe can be obtained by measuring the flow velocityVCalculate the volumetric flow rate.
Q=3600f/KperhapsM=ρ3600 f/K
In the formula:K=Instrument constant(1/m³)。
M=mass flow
Q=Volume flow rate(m³/h)
ρ=Medium density(kg/m³)
F=frequencyHz
