Vortex Steam Flow Meter: Efficient and Stable Measurement of Thermal Distribution System Flows

Project Overview

　　As the power and manufacturing industries continue to grow, flow measurement in heat transmission and distribution systems is becoming increasingly important. In these systems, steam is the most commonly used heat transfer medium, so accurately measuring the flow of steam is critical to the stable operation of the system. Vortex steam flowmeter is a highly efficient and stable flow measurement solution, which has many advantages, such as high accuracy, high reliability, fast response time, simple maintenance, etc., and is widely used in the flow measurement of heat transmission and distribution systems.

　　The working principle of vortex steam flowmeter is to use the vortex frequency produced by vortex street to determine the flow rate. In the measurement, steam enters from the flowmeter and flows down the pipe, and when it flows through the turbine of the device, it produces vortices on the wheel. The vortex generated by the turbine causes a change in frequency as it flows over the probe, and thus the flowmeter determines the actual flow rate value of the steam by measuring the frequency of the vortex.

　　The vortex steam flow meter has several advantages over other types of flow meters. First, it has excellent measurement accuracy. Whether the flow rate is low or high, the accuracy of this flow meter can be as high as ±1%, which is unmatched by other types of flow meters. Secondly, the vortex steam flowmeter has a fast response speed and can detect flow changes in a very short period of time, which has a higher sensitivity compared with other types of flowmeters. In addition, vortex steam flowmeter maintenance is very simple, and has a long life.

　　In practice, vortex steam flowmeters are widely used for flow measurement in a variety of thermal transmission and distribution systems, such as boiler rooms, refrigeration plants, power stations and heating systems. Especially in the field of steam measurement, the vortex steam flowmeter application has obvious advantages. Because it is not easily affected by bubbles, steam, etc. in the fluid, it is able to measure the flow value of steam stably even in a changing flow environment.

　　In short, vortex steam flowmeter is an efficient and stable flow measurement tool, which has a wide range of application prospects in the heat transmission and distribution system, will play an increasingly important role in the field of heat transmission and distribution system flow measurement in the future.
