High pressure flowmeter measures liquid refrigerants
19 November 2018
Titan Enterprises has designed a flowmeter to deliver high performance across six flow ranges from 0.05 to 15L/min. To ensure the highest degree of inertness to refrigerant fluids, the flowmeter polymer components were moulded in an FDA-approved grade of Polyvinylidene difluoride (PDVF) and mounted in a 316 stainless steel body.
Incorporating steel reinforced polymer components, to give a pressure rating of 40 Bar, the low inertia turbines of the flowmeter are said to have proven ideal for measuring the low viscosities (0.3 to 0.4 centipoises) encountered with volatile refrigerant fluids measured in the liquid form. With careful sensor selection, the pressure drop through the flowmeter is low enough to prevent gas break-out and ensure reliable flow measurement from -25 to +125°C.
