  • Porque medir vazo?Transferncia de Custdia: a medio da vazo de um fluido passando de um fornecedor para um cliente uma das mais importantes aplicaes relacionadas ao controle desta varivel. Em aplicaes de transferncia de custdia, os medidores de vazo (flowmeters) so essencialmente a caixa registradora do sistema. Por exemplo, o flowmeter do posto de gasolina mede a quantidade de combustvel que transferida para o seu veculo e , dessa forma, a quantidade de dinheiro que precisa ser paga ao dono do posto. Devido s implicaes econmicas, aplicaes de transferncia de custdia requerem alta exatido na medio.

    Controle de Variveis de Processo: A vazo medida e controlada durante o processo. Por exemplo, durante a troca de calor, a temperatura do fluido pode ser controlada pela vazo do vapor no trocador. Outras aplicaes usam o controle de vazo para manipular variveis como presso, nvel, composio qumica e peso.

  • Porque medir vazo?Eficincia: Medies com boa exatido de vazo podem fornecer indicaes da eficincia do processo baseadas na quantidade de matria prima utilizada versus a quantidade de produto produzido. Por exemplo, em uma caldeira, a eficincia de combusto um indicador da habilidade da caldeira em queimar adequadamente o combustvel. A quantidade de combustvel no queimado e o excesso de ar na exausto so usados para gerenciar a eficincia de combusto. Caldeiras que apresentam um baixo nvel de combustvel no queimado operando com pouco excesso de ar so consideradas eficientes. Caldeiras bem reguladas, queimando combustvel lquido ou gasoso, operam com um excesso de 15% de ar e apresentam um nvel muito baixo de combustvel no queimado. Operando com apenas 15% de excesso de ar, menos calor do processo de combusto utilizado para aquecer o excesso deste ar, o que aumenta a disponibilidade de calor a ser utilizado no processo. A eficincia de combusto no a mesma para todos os combustveis e, geralmente, combustveis lquidos e gasosos queimam mais eficientemente se a vazo medida e controlada durante a aplicao.

  • Porque medir vazo?Consistncia do Produto: A medio da vazo com exatido assegura a consistncia do produto. A vazo usada como um dado de entrada ao sistema de controle de processo para garantir a produo adequada do produto. Como consumidor, voc percebe que a a comida processada, por exemplo, tem sabor constante toda vez que voc consome este produto.

    Segurana: O controle da vazo frequentemente essencial por razes de segurana. Vazes acima do limite desejado podem ser um indicativo de que algo no processo est com problemas, como , por exemplo, um compressor, uma bomba ou uma vlvula.

  • VORTEX . VantagensCategoria: DesempenhoBreve descrio: Perda de cargaExplicao: Comparado a outros medidores de vazo, o medidor Vrtex tem perda de carga relativamente pequena apesar do anteparo para medio, no h qualquer obstruo ao fluxo no interior do equipamento. Tpicas perdas de presso quando o medidor idntico ao tamanho da linha de aproximadamente 200 mbar (3 psi); selecionando um instrumento menor a perda pode chegar a 500 mbar (8 psi).Breve descrio: Versatilidade de aplicaoExplicao: Medio no afetada por mudanas na densidade ou na viscosidade do fluido. Explicao: Equipamentos Vrtex medem a vazo volumtrica e ,portanto, a medio no afetada por mudanas na densidade ou viscosidade do fluido, desde que alteraes no processo no afetem o nmero de Reynolds, tal que o mesmo fique abaixo do limite mnimo requerido.

  • Categoria: DesempenhoBreve descrio: Ampla faixa de temperature de trabalhoExplicao: Devido ao seu design simples e construo em corpo nico (sensor soldado diretamente no corpo do medidor, sem possibilidade de vazamentos), o medidor Vrtex pode ser usado em ampla faixa de temperatura. Equipamentos padro podem ser utilizados em temperaturas de fluido de at 225C (435F), e pequenas mudanas no design resultam na possibilidade de trabalho com fluidos com temperaturas de 425C (800F) ou mais.

    Categoria: ManutenoBreve descrio: Alta confiabilidadeExplicao: A construo do medidor Vrtex muito simples. Muitos fabricantes oferecem o sensor de medio completamente soldado ao corpo do equipamento, o que elimina a presena de selos e, dessa forma, impossibilita a existncia de emisses fugitivas. Os medidores no possuem partes mveis, dessa forma no carecendo me rotina de manuteno.VORTEX . Vantagens

  • Categoria: Versatilidade de aplicaoBreve descrio: Baixo valor do nmero de Reynolds do processoExplicao: O desempenho do medidor determinado pelo nmero de Reynolds do fluido no processo. O valor mnimo requerido para o bom funcionamento do Vrtex normalmente est entre 10.000 and 20.000. Nmeros de Reynolds menores ocasionaro em um sinal de sada distorcido pois a relao sinal/rudo torna-se desfavorvel. Valores maiores do nmero de Reynolds no afetam o desempenho do medidor.Breve descrio: Necessidade de presso mnima na linhaExplicao: Ao medir lquidos com alta presso de vapor, o risco de cavitao est sempre presente. Para eliminar este risco, uma presso minima necessria, tal que esta seja maior que a presso de vapor do fluido. A maioria dos fabricantes dispose de formulas para calcular o valor desta presso.VORTEX . Limitaes

  • Categoria: Versatilidade de aplicaoBreve descrio: Rangeabilidade limitada para fluidos de alta viscosidadeExplicao: Devido a restries no nmero de Reynolds, um fluido com alta viscosidade tem um impacto negativo na rangeabilidade do medidor Vrtex. Quanto maior a viscosidade, menor o nmero de Reynolds e assim maior a possibilidade de um impacto negativo no desempenho do medidor. Viscosidades acima de 5 cP podem afetar o desempenho dos medidores Vrtex. Acima de 20 cP no utilize-se normalmente a tecnologia Vrtex de medio.Breve descrio: Limitada faixa de dimetros de linhaExplicao: O oferecimento de tecnologia Vrtex, normalmente, inicia-se com 15 mm (1/2"), cehgando at 300 mm (12").VORTEX . Limitaes

  • Categoria: InstalaoBreve descrio: Sensibilidade ao perfil do fluxoExplicao: Para garantir o funcionamento adequado do medidor de vazo tipo Vrtex necessrio que o perfil do fluxo seja condicionado ao passar pelo elemento medidor. Para atender a este requerimento, recomendado que respeite-se trechos retos antes e aps o medidor. Geralmente, recomenda-se um trecho reto antes do medidor de 20 vezes o dimetro da linha e aps o medidor de 10 vezes o dimetro da linha.Breve descrio: Sensibilidade a rudo hidrulico e vibraoExplicao: Vibraes na linha podem causar problemas para o medidor Vrtex, caso estas sejam suficientemente intensas para proporcionar a movimentao do elemento gerador de vrtex do equipamento. Rudos hidrulicos podem causar efeitos similares.VORTEX . Limitaes

  • Categoria: ManutenoBreve descrio: Eroso do elemento gerador de vrtexExplicao: A eroso do elemento gerador de vortex afetar o desempenho do equipamento. Apesar do impacto no desempenho ser razoavelmente pequeno, recomendado que tente-se limitar a velocidade do fluido no medidor (se o nmero de Reynolds permitir), reduzindo-se assim a possibilidade de eroso no elemento sensor.VORTEX .

    ************ADVANTAGESCategory: Application versatilityShort discription: Measure mass flow rateExplanation: There are no temperature and/or pressure corrections required as there are with volumetric technologies. Coriolis meters measure mass flow of liquids and gases directly and therefore do not require compensation for temperature and/or pressure to calculate mass flow rate.

    Short discription: Measure volumetric flow rateExplanation: Coriolis meters measure mass flow and density directly. Using these measurements, they can output a very accurate volumetric flow rate.

    Short discription: Multi-variable measurementsExplanation: Coriolis meters measure mass flow, density, and temperature.

    Short discription: Unaffected by changes in density, viscosity, temperature, pressure or fluid compositionExplanation: The fundamental flow measurement is unaffected by changes in any fluid parameter; the mass flow of the fluid is always measured accurately, independent of the fluid parameters in the measuring tubes.

    Short discription: Liquid and gas mixturesExplanation: All meters struggle with liquid/gas mixtures, but Coriolis meters are more able to handle them and there will not be any permanent damage (as opposed to turbine meter for example).

    Category: InstallationShort discription: Installation costsExplanation: There are no flow-profile effects on a Coriolis meter; therefore there are no straight-run requirements. The insensitivity to flow-profile effects results from the fact that the measurement is not velocity (and therefore Reynolds number) based. As a result, the same meter can measure high or low viscosity fluids with no flow conditioning or straight-run. Another advantage on installation is that the Coriolis meter can measure bi-directional flow.

    Category: MaintenanceShort discription: ReliabilityExplanation: There are no wearing parts in a Coriolis meter, such as a rotating turbine rotor. No routine maintenance is required since there are no parts to wear or break.

    Short discription: CalibrationExplanation: No periodic re-calibration is required since there are no parts to wear or break. Also, since there is no change in performance as the fluid changes, in those cases where period re-calibration is required (i.e. ISO compliance) a water calibration will suffice.

    LIMITATIONSCategory: Application versatilityShort discription: Limited range of line sizesExplanation: Coriolis meters are typically available in line sizes up to 6" (150 mm). There are many applications where meters are installed in parallel to accommodate larger line sizes, but typically the largest line a single meter can accommodate is 8" or 10".

    ******ADVANTAGESCategory: Application versatilityShort discription: Measure mass flow rateExplanation: There are no temperature and/or pressure corrections required as there are with volumetric technologies. Coriolis meters measure mass flow of liquids and gases directly and therefore do not require compensation for temperature and/or pressure to calculate mass flow rate.

    Short discription: Measure volumetric flow rateExplanation: Coriolis meters measure mass flow and density directly. Using these measurements, they can output a very accurate volumetric flow rate.

    Short discription: Multi-variable measurementsExplanation: Coriolis meters measure mass flow, density, and temperature.

    Short discription: Unaffected by changes in density, viscosity, temperature, pressure or fluid compositionExplanation: The fundamental flow measurement is unaffected by changes in any fluid parameter; the mass flow of the fluid is always measured accurately, independent of the fluid parameters in the measuring tubes.

    Short discription: Liquid and gas mixturesExplanation: All meters struggle with liquid/gas mixtures, but Coriolis meters are more able to handle them and there will not be any permanent damage (as opposed to turbine meter for example).

    Category: InstallationShort discription: Installation costsExplanation: There are no flow-profile effects on a Coriolis meter; therefore there are no straight-run requirements. The insensitivity to flow-profile effects results from the fact that the measurement is not velocity (and therefore Reynolds number) based. As a result, the same meter can measure high or low viscosity fluids with no flow conditioning or straight-run. Another advantage on installation is that the Coriolis meter can measure bi-directional flow.

    Category: MaintenanceShort discription: ReliabilityExplanation: There are no wearing parts in a Coriolis meter, such as a rotating turbine rotor. No routine maintenance is required since there are no parts to wear or break.

    Short discription: CalibrationExplanation: No periodic re-calibration is required since there are no parts to wear or break. Also, since there is no change in performance as the fluid changes, in those cases where period re-calibration is required (i.e. ISO compliance) a water calibration will suffice.
