vortex type flow transmitter
The vortex type flow transmitter is a sophisticated measurement device that operates on the principle of von Karman vortex street phenomenon. This innovative instrument measures fluid flow rates by detecting vortices created when fluid flows past a bluff body. As fluid moves around this obstacle, it generates alternating vortices whose frequency is directly proportional to the flow velocity. The transmitter consists of three main components: a bluff body, a sensor that detects vortex shedding, and signal processing electronics. Modern vortex flow transmitters incorporate advanced digital signal processing capabilities, ensuring accurate measurements even in challenging industrial environments. These devices excel in measuring various fluid types, including liquids, gases, and steam, making them invaluable in process control applications. The technology offers exceptional reliability due to its simple mechanical design with no moving parts, resulting in minimal maintenance requirements and extended operational life. Vortex flow transmitters maintain high accuracy across a wide range of flow rates and can operate effectively in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. They are particularly well-suited for applications requiring precise flow measurement in industrial processes, HVAC systems, and utility services.
