Second, the working principle: 
ZW - LUGB seriesCapacitance vortex flowmeter in the measuring tube vertically inserted a pillars, on both sides of the fluid through the pillars is alternately with the rules of the vortex, the spiral column is called the karman vortex street.The release of the karman vortex street frequency is related to the width of the fluid velocity and pillars, expressed by the type: 
F = St · v/d type: - the release of the karman vortex street frequency f 
St - coefficient (called, ha) 
V - velocity 
D - the width of the pillars 
Karman vortex street release frequency f and is directly proportional to the velocity v, so by measuring the karman vortex street release frequency to calculate the instantaneous flow rate. 
Stern lo ha is one of the important coefficient of vortex flowmeter.In its number of St 0.17 straight part of the material, the release of the vortex frequency is proportional to the velocity of flow, so check out the velocity v, frequency f can be obtained to calculate volume flow by v.

Six, selection of key points:
Correct selection to ensure that the use of vortex flowmeter is better.Should choose what kind of vortex street flowmeter is based on the current body to determine the physical properties and chemical properties of the medium?Make the size of vortex flowmeter, flow range, lining materials, electrode materials and output current, etc?To be the nature of the flow volume and flow measurement requirements.
1, precision function
Precision grade and function in accordance with the requirements of measurement and choose the instrument using fine grade, cost-effective.Such as for trade settlement, product transfer and energy measurement occasions, should choose high precision grade, such as 1.0, 0.5, or higher level;Used in process control, according to the requirements of control choose not with precision grade;Some just check process flow, without having to do precise control and measurement, can choose lower precision grade, such as 1.5, 2.5, 4.0, and even then you can choose cheap plug-in vortex flowmeter.
2, medium can be measured
Medium velocity and diameter, full scale measurement generally medium, the full flow of vortex flowmeter can measure medium velocity in 0.5-12 m/s within the scope of selection, range is wide.Choose different instrument specifications (diameter) and process piping, the same shall consider whether measuring flow range within the scope of the flow velocity, namely when the pipeline flow rate is low, can not meet the requirement of the flow meter, or under the velocity measurement accuracy of the quasi cannot guarantee, the need to reduce the size instrument, which carry high tube flow velocity, measurement results are satisfied.
3, the selection of vortex flow transmitter
In saturated vapor measurement using VA type piezoelectric vortex flow transmitter, due to the vortex flow meter range wide, therefore, in practice, the measurement of saturated steam flow main consideration shall not be less than the lower limit of vortex flowmeters, that is to say, must satisfy the fluid flow rate shall be not less than 5 m/s.According to the size of the YongQiLiang chooses different caliber of vortex flow transmitter, rather than with the existing technology to choose transmitter diameter pipe size.
The choice of 4 pressure transmitter, pressure compensation
Because of the saturated steam pipe length, pressure fluctuation is bigger, pressure compensation must be used, considering the pressure, temperature and density, the relation between measurement using pressure compensation, because the pipeline saturated steam pressure in the range 0.3 0.7 MPa, pressure transmitter ranges 1 MPa.
5, display instrument selection
Display instrument intelligent flow display, a voltage compensation, the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow integrating function.
Seven, field requirements:
1, low maintenance - most of the vortex flowmeter are on the market with induction swirl hole or plug-in measurement, once the impurities embedded in the medium pressure hole or sensing element and the table body, the gap between the signal is weak or unstable.A good design should be not easy to plug part, thereby reducing amount of maintenance.
2, inductive components online replacement - some manufacturer of inductive components and vortex street close 2 for one, seemingly simple design to the actual use of inconvenience.Because once induction part failure, you need to medium to the pipe emptying replacement parts, after pressure relief effect production.Perfect design should be separated the two, so can replace the induction part alone, without emptying the media.
3, vortex flowmeter is vulnerable to vibration interference, well-designed vortex flowmeter can through hardware and digital signal processing to exclude interference, and the stability of the signal is obtained.
4, vortex flow meter before and after the installation of a hassle to very long straight section, some manufacturers can offer within the flowmeter reducing design, greatly reduces the user specifically MenWei vortex flowmeter with the demand of the straight pipe.
Eight, installation requirements:
1, the sensor can be installed indoors, can also be installed in the outdoor.Environmental conditions to conform to the requirements.
2, sensors should be installed in a horizontal, vertical or inclined (fluid flow from bottom to top) and its corresponding pipe nominal diameter.
3, sensors installed on a mechanical vibration of pipeline should be avoided.Should be considered when the vibration is inevitable, at about 2 dn from sensor before and after the straight pipe and fixing racks.
4, avoid install the sensor sensing has strong electromagnetic interference, thermal radiation, corrosive gas, the space is little, and maintenance is not convenient.
5, when measured medium contains many impurities, at the request of straight pipe upstream from sensors mounted outside the length of the filter.
6, either upstream or downstream of the sensor should be configured with a certain length of straight pipe, straight pipe inner surface should be clean, smooth, no obvious convex concave, fouling and peeling phenomenon.Its length should conform to the requirements of figure 2.Installation of the liquid sensor, near the pipe should be filled with liquid to be tested.
7, straight pipe diameter as far as possible consistent with the sensor size, if not consistent, slightly larger diameter than the sensor size should be adopted, the error to 3% or less is not more than 5 mm.

Need to pay attention to during the period of nine, debugging, using question:
1, flowmeter, on-site installation, maintenance, must abide by the "explosion-proof gas do not open" warnings, and in the open before turn off the power supply.
2, vortex flow meter used in outdoor, suggestion and side shields.
3, shall not be arbitrarily fixed part loosen the flowmeter.The protection of the pressure sensor.Users in the use of traffic time, should pay attention to the flow pressure overload value of pressure sensor is rated working pressure of 1.5 times (that is, the media zui high pressure of 1.5 times).Selection should be within the prescribed flow range, prevent overspeed operation, in order to obtain the ideal accuracy and ensure the normal service life.(due to pressure test, purging pipes or exhaust overdrive, and turbine operation in the reverse flow meter can cause damage)
4 when put into operation, the vortex street flowmeter, should slowly open valve, prevent damage of instantaneous flow and the turbine.Add lubricant should be according to the sign, the number of refueling depends on temperament clean degree, usually 2 ~ 3 times a year.
5, vortex street flowmeter runtime or alternate internal related parameters are not allowed to open the rear cover, otherwise will affect the normal operation of the meter.

Ten, install and use should be paid attention to in the items:
Vortex street no mechanical moving parts, small size, corrosion resistance, stable performance, can be directly display medium work pressure, temperature, flow rate and volume under standard state, wide range, the advantages of small measurement error, has been widely used in oil and gas well production measurement and gas sales.In field application over the years, we believe that the meter is suitable for relatively clean dry gas metering, gradually become small and medium-sized gas meters.To guarantee the accuracy of the flowmeter measurement, reduce the measuring error, please note:
1, the selection of reasonable
Don't make the actual flow QVmin meter below the selected through runoff flow range limit.
2, installation is correct
Upstream of the vortex flowmeter should have at least 10 d measuring straight pipe length.Straight pipe inner surface should be smooth, cannot have the steps, more smooth connecting flange weld, flange gasket can't into the pipe.Don't put the wrong installation direction of the flow meter.Tests showed that: all the unreasonable installation, will lead to the flowmeter measurement value is low.
3, away from the source of shocks, or install piers in upstream or downstream flow meter, in order to avoid the influence of the pipeline vibration.Avoid strong magnetic field disturbance to the flow meter chip.
4, temperament is relatively clean
Especially not a gas liquid two phase flow;Temperament is dirty, should clean instant flow meter.
5, and reduce the influence of flow pulsation
It can be installed in front of the flow meter buffer tank, or extended length of straight pipe upstream of the flow meter, computation.
6, timely flowmeter for metrological verification, to ensure accurate and reliable value.

Eleven, matters needing attention:
1, special flange and straight pipe welding can't with the sensor.
2, when installation should make the flow of sensor mark the direction of flow and the pipe.
3, before the installation of sensor and the flange must be put away in sealing ring grooves.The location of the pressure and temperature measurement point, pressure downstream of the sensor in 3 ~ 5 dn, temperature measuring points in the downstream of 5 ~ 8 dn.
4, when measuring high temperature medium, do not use heat insulation material to wrap around the sensor link rod.
Five, connection of shielded cable, should as far as possible away from the interference of strong electromagnetic field.Absolutely not allowed with high voltage cable laying, shielded cable to shorten as far as possible, and shall not be volume, in order to reduce stray inductance, length should not exceed 200 m.
6, before installation of sensors, pipeline cleaning must be conducted.Flow after rinse tube impurities, avoid clogging sensor.Measuring liquid pipe must be full of measured liquid, prevent the interference of bubbles.
7, measuring gas pipelines to prevent the interference of reservoir fluid.Installation position as shown in figure 5.Replace the probe body under the high temperature and high pressure, it must be safe operation, high temperature protection.After cooling step-down replaceable probe at the bottom of the safety conditions.
