    MODBUS, BACNET or HART communications are also available. PanaFlow digital electronics allows for easy reconfiguration for most gases, liquids and steam. The PanaFlow MV80 & MV82 Meters' simple installation combines with an easy-to-use interface that provides quick set up, long term reliability and accurate mass flow measurement over a wide range of flows, pressures and temperatures.

  • Page 14: How The Panaflow Vortex Mass Flowmeter Operates

    1.2 How the PanaFlow Vortex Mass Flowmeter Operates PanaFlow MV80 and MV82 Mass Flowmeters (see Figure 1 below) use a unique sensor head to monitor mass flow rate by directly measuring three variables-fluid velocity, temperature and pressure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate based on these three direct measurements.

  • Page 15: Vortex Shedding Frequency

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.3.1 Vortex Shedding Frequency Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two distinct wakes. The vortices of one wake rotate clockwise while those of the other wake rotate counterclockwise. Vortices generate one at a time, alternating from the left side to the right side of the shedder bar.

  • Page 16: Flow Velocity Range

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.3.3 Flow Velocity Range To ensure trouble-free operation, vortex flowmeters must be correctly sized so that the flow velocity range through the meter lies within the measurable velocity range (with acceptable pressure drop) and the linear range. The measurable range is defined by the minimum and maximum velocity using Table 1 below.

  • Page 17: Temperature Measurement

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.3.3 Flow Velocity Range (cont.) As shown in Figure 3 below, PanaFlow meters exhibit a constant Strouhal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a consistent linear output over a wide range of flows and fluid types. Below this linear range, the intelligent electronics in PanaFlow automatically corrects for the variation in the Strouhal number with the Reynolds number.

  • Page 18: Flowmeter Configurations

    The output signal of insertion meters is the total flow rate in the channel. The accuracy of the total flow rate computation depends on adherence to the piping installation requirements given in Chapter 2.
