V-cone flow meter measures natural gas flow in tunnel kiln

Project Overview

As one of the commonly used equipment in the industrial production process, the tunnel kiln’s energy consumption and emission control are crucial to production efficiency and environmental protection. As a common fuel, natural gas is widely used in the supply of tunnel kilns.

Challenges of Natural Gas Flow Measurement in Tunnel Kilns

Measuring the flow of natural gas in tunnel kilns is a complex task. Traditional measurement methods have some limitations, such as low accuracy, high fuel quality requirements, and vulnerability to temperature and pressure fluctuations in the furnace. Therefore, there is a need for a new flow meter technology that can overcome these challenges and provide accurate and reliable measurement results.

Measurement principle of V-cone flowmeter

When natural gas enters the tapered pipeline from the inlet pipeline, due to the geometry of the pipeline, the fluid velocity increases and the pressure decreases, thereby causing the flow in the tapered pipeline to Differential pressure is generated. The differential pressure sensor can accurately measure this differential pressure value and calculate the actual flow value based on preset fluid properties and geometric parameters.

Advantages and applications of V-cone flowmeters

V-cone flowmeters have several significant advantages. V-cone flowmeter has lower requirements on fuel quality and is suitable for various natural gases of different qualities. In addition, the V-cone flowmeter has less impact on temperature and pressure fluctuations in the furnace and can maintain good measurement performance under different working conditions. Due to these advantages, V-cone flowmeters are widely used in industrial equipment such as tunnel kilns to achieve precise measurement and control of natural gas flow.

Using a V-cone flowmeter to accurately measure the natural gas flow in a tunnel kiln is of great significance for optimizing energy management, improving production efficiency and reducing pollution emissions.
