How to select the type for an elliptical gear flowmeter?
The elliptical gear flowmeter is a volumetric flow measurement instrument used for continuous or intermittent measurement of liquid flow and control in pipelines. Its structure consists of a flow transmitter and a counting mechanism.
The elliptical gear flowmeter is a volumetric flow measurement instrument used for continuous or intermittent measurement of liquid flow and control in pipelines. Its structure consists of a flow transmitter and a counting mechanism. If a heat sink is added between the transmitter and the counting mechanism, it forms a high-temperature type flowmeter. The transmitter is composed of a measurement chamber with a pair of elliptical gear rotors and a sealed coupling. The counting mechanism includes a reduction mechanism, a regulating mechanism, a counter, and a signal transmitter. In the measurement chamber, a pair of elliptical gears and a cover plate form an initial crescent-shaped cavity as the unit for measuring flow. The working principle is that the elliptical gears rotate due to the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the flowmeter, continuously sending the liquid through the initial crescent-shaped cavity for measurement and then to the outlet. Each revolution of the flow passes through the liquid is four times that of the initial crescent-shaped cavity. The sealed coupling transmits the total number of rotations of the elliptical gears and the speed of rotation to the counting mechanism or the signal transmitter, allowing one to know the total amount of liquid passing through the pipeline and the instantaneous flow rate. Therefore, when choosing an elliptical gear flowmeter, the following aspects need to be considered:
1. The name and characteristics of the fluid medium, including what are the values of viscosity and density?
2. Whether the measured medium contains mechanical impurities. If it does, a filter with the corresponding mesh size should be installed in front of the elliptical gear flowmeter to filter out the mechanical impurities. Only after the fluid passes through the filter can it enter the flowmeter for flow measurement. Otherwise, the metering gear inside the elliptical gear flowmeter may get stuck.
3. The operating temperature and pressure of the measured medium
4. The flow range of the measured medium varies. Flow meters with different diameters have different flow measurement ranges for different viscosity media. It is necessary to consider the reduction or expansion of the pipe diameter.
5. Requirements for the accuracy and functionality of the elliptical gear flowmeter selected
6. It is necessary to consider whether there are interference sources at the installation location of the flowmeter with the signal transmission function.
