Steam Flow Energy Measurement

 

Measure super-heated steam flow



Introduction-


Due to its inherent fluid properties and practical application, particularly across an extensive variety of flow rates, steam is very challenging to measure. For plant efficiency, energy efficiency, process control, and cost objectives, steam users are required to measure steam flow. Nowadays, many industrial and commercial businesses use energy cost accounting, energy conservation, monitoring, and targeted tactics. These devices enable you to reduce your electricity costs. A wide range of flowmeters made to measure the flow of different liquids and gases, including steam, are currently on the market. Few devices have been developed specifically for measuring steam flow.


Why measure steam? 

A steam flowmeter is an essential device to maintaining proper steam sanitation. It offers you with the information required to operate a building or a factory efficiently, such as how much steam is consumed and how much it costs. The main benefits of using steam flow metering are as follows:


  • Productivity of the plant: A good steam flowmeter will display the steam flow rate to a plant item over the span of the item's complete operational range. The steam flow meter is additionally employed to track steam demand, identify steam peak usage, and identify the plant components that employ the most steam. It is feasible to modify industrial processes using a steam flow meter to reduce the amount of steam used.
  • Efficiency in terms of energy use - Steam flowmeters can be used to compare the performance of various plant components and to monitor the development of energy-saving measures.
  • Controlling the process: The output signal from a steam flow metering system can be used to regulate the quantity of steam supplied to a process and show whether it is operating at the right pressure and temperature.
  • Custody and costing: Steam can be costed as a raw material at different stages of the production process, allowing the real cost of each product line to be ascertained.

Uses of steam flow meter-

One of the crucial forms of steam flow meters is the differential pressure flow meter. Differential pressure flowmeters rely on pressure variations that occur when steam flows through a venturi, nozzle, or other opening. It is possible to determine the flow rate using the pressure difference's indication of flow velocity. It can be employed in the following ways:

  • A steam flow meter can be used to measure the mass flow rates of boiler feed water in closed conduits as well as the flow rates of saturated and superheated steam.
  • For pressures up to 30bar, it is used to monitor the flow of saturated (100°C to 300°C) and super-heated (300°C to 600°C) steam in closed conduits.
  • Thermic fluids and thermic oils, among other fluids, can be utilized as the heat transfer medium, and it can be used as a heat energy transfer meter to measure thermal energy utilizing these fluids.

Making Mass Flow Meters in India – for the world!

Image
  Direct mass flow measurement of gases T he story of Development of Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter by Manas. The Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter is a comparatively new concept. In India, nobody was manufacturing it with indigenous technology. Even today, it is mostly imported in India from the US or some other European countries. The cheaper versions are also available from China. It is consuming a lot of foreign exchange of the country. Right from the beginning, Manas has worked on the strategy of developing and manufacturing the technology products in India. This was the main reason for going after the development of the Thermal Mass Flow Meter. The most important issue was how to test the meters under development or even a developed meter. A flow calibration laboratory was essential for this reason. The Thermal meter being a mass Flow Meter, the laboratory also required the capability of calibrating in terms of mass measurement. So, the first challenge was, setting up a ca

  What is water flow meter? And how does water flow meter work? The amount of water flowing through a pipe is measured using a water flow meter . Depending on the application for water being measured, the required level of maintenance, and the available budget, there are various water flow meter technologies to pick from. Each of these water flow meter types have a different operating principle, offer advantages for a particular application, and have an overall cost of ownership. So, which water flow meter is best for your application involving water flow measurement? Ultrasonic flow meters, magnetic flow meters, mechanical water flow meters and vortex volumetric flow meters are some of the important types of water flow meters. Ultrasonic Flowmeter for Water Industry Ultrasonic water flow meters use ultrasound to gauge a fluid velocity as it travels through a pipe in order to calculate volumetric flow. An ultrasonic signal is transmitted in the direction of the flowing fluid downstrea
