    How the PanaFlow Vortex Mass Flow Meter Operates PanaFlow MV80, MV82, and MV84 Multi-Parameter Vortex Mass Flow Meters (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 14: Velocity Measurement

    Chapter 1. Introduction FLOW Figure 1: In-Line Vortex Multi-Parameter Mass Flow Meter Velocity Measurement The PanaFlow vortex velocity sensor is a patented mechanical design that minimizes the effects of pipeline vibration and pump noise, both of which are common error sources in flow measurement with vortex flow meters. The velocity measurement is based on the well-known Von Karman vortex shedding phenomenon.

  • 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 flow meters 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: Pressure Drop

    Chapter 1. Introduction 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: Pressure Measurement

    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. If adherence to those guidelines cannot be met, contact Panametrics for specific installation advice. 1.8.1...

  • Page 171: Energy Flow Calculations

    Appendix C. Flow Meter Calculations Energy Flow Calculations Energy is calculated for a steam supply/condensate return or hot/chilled water system. For steam/water, the meter must be located in the supply line; otherwise, the meter may be located in either the supply line or in the return line. C.3.1 Steam supply, water return, meter steam supply Energy = mdot * (h0 - pctRet * h1) Where:...
