VorCone® flowmeters utilize two different flowmeter technologies in combination; vortex and differential pressure. The design has blended the two separate flow metering principles into one hybrid system where the two meters complement each other's performance. This combination allows for the prediction of the fluid density, volumetric flow rate, and mass flow rate without any fluid density information being required from an external source.
This ability to measure fluid density allows the meter to provide several valuable outputs. The VorCone meter can calculate the density of changing gas mixtures. For example, natural gas is typically a composition of many different gases which can vary over time and vary by application. In saturated steam service, the meter produces a reliable steam quality (dryness) measurement and steam mass flow rate reading. In wet natural gas service, the meter can provide a reliable liquid loading measurement and gas mass flow rate reading. These are a few examples of the unique capabilities of the VorCone meter.
VorCone®流量計(jì)結(jié)合使用兩種不同的流量計(jì)技術(shù)：旋渦和壓差。該設(shè)計(jì)將兩種獨(dú)立的流量計(jì)量原理融合到一個(gè)混合系統(tǒng)中，其中兩種儀表的性能互補(bǔ)。這種組合可以預(yù)測(cè)流體密度、體積流量和質(zhì)量流量，而無需從外部來源獲得任何流體密度信息。
這種測(cè)量流體密度的能力允許儀表提供幾個(gè)有價(jià)值的輸出。VorCone流量計(jì)可以計(jì)算變化的氣體混合物的密度。例如，天然氣通常由許多不同的氣體組成，這些氣體會(huì)隨時(shí)間和應(yīng)用而變化。在飽和蒸汽服務(wù)中，該儀表產(chǎn)生可靠的蒸汽質(zhì)量(干度)測(cè)量和蒸汽質(zhì)量流量讀數(shù)。在濕天然氣服務(wù)中，該儀表可以提供可靠的液體負(fù)載測(cè)量和氣體質(zhì)量流量讀數(shù)。這些是VorCone儀表功能的幾個(gè)例子。
