Ультразвуковой стационарный расходомер жидкости DF868 разработан на основе испытанного портативного расходомера TransPort РT868. Прибор DF868 реализует современную времяимпульсную технологию измерения расхода. Расходомеры DF868 имеют различные модификации и обеспечены всеми необходимыми принадлежностями для решения большинства задач по измерению расхода:

  • одно- и двухканальная модели;
  • разнообразные стационарные и накладные преобразователи, системы их установки и измерительные участки;
  • термометры сопротивления и другие принадлежности для измерения энергии тепловых потоков;
  • заказное программное обеспечение, совместимое с персональным компьютером.

Новые возможности времяимпульсного метода

Запатентованный фирмой Panametrics времяимпульсный метод в сочетании с современными способами кодирования и корреляционного детектирования сигнала обеспечивают высокостабильные измерения расхода как особо чистых жидкостей, так и загрязненных жидких сред. Этот метод охватывает 80 % случаев измерения расхода многофазных жидких сред, содержащих газовые пузырьки, жидкие и твердые включения, где ранее использовались допплеровские расходомеры из-за невозможности применения традиционных времяимпульсных расходомеров.

Встроенная функция определения энергии теплового потока

Другим важным качеством расходомеров DF868, расширяющим область их применения, является наличие встроенного программного обеспечения для определения энергии тепловых потоков, которым оснащен каждый прибор. Прибор DF868 с дополнительными датчиками температуры (термометры сопротивления) и платами ввода информации позволяет проводить измерение расхода и температуры без нарушения целостности технологического трубопровода для труб диаметром от 25 до 5000 мм. Расходомер DF868 позволяет измерять энергию тепловых потоков воды и водногликолевых смесей в системах теплоснабжения и охлаждения при температуре рабочего потока от -20 до 260 °С. При проведении тепловых измерений для других сред необходимо получить консультацию в Пергам. Для гарантированного сопряжения с существующими датчиками температуры модель DF868 снабжена тремя платами аналогового ввода. Плата преобразователей обеспечивает питание по токовой петле 24 В постоянного тока и имеет два изолированных входа 4-20 мА для подключения преобразователей. Для практических задач, требующих непосредственного подключения термометров сопротивления (без нормирующего преобразователя), плата имеет два изолированных входа, обеспечивающих трехпроводную схему включения датчиков, для измерения температур в от -100 до 350 °C.

Двойной жидкокристаллический дисплей, большой набор входных/выходных сигналов

Любая модель DF868 имеет два независимых дисплея, которые программируются пользователем и позволяют отображать значения различных параметров как в графическом, так и в цифровом формате. Например, можно наблюдать в режиме реального времени значения расхода рабочей среды в цифровом формате, а диаграмму изменения расхода и форму акустической волны с целью диагностики неисправностей в графическом формате. В цифро-графическом формате также отображаются данные из встроенного блока памяти, способного хранить до 43000 данных. Кроме того, данная модель имеет до 12 изолированных выходов 4-20 мА, до шести реле сигнализации в обычном или герметичном исполнении и до 12 частотных выходов/выходов на сумматоры.

Снижение затрат, возможность поиска утечек и повышение эксплуатационных характеристик при использовании двухканальной модели

Дополнительная двухканальная/двухлучевая модель позволяет пользователю изменять конфигурацию системы для решения целого ряда практических задач измерения. Она может быть использована для измерения расхода в двух различных трубопроводах одним прибором, что значительно снизит затраты на точку измерения. Для уменьшения эффектов, связанных с искажением профиля скорости потока из-за завихрений и поперечных течений, используется установка двух пар ультразвуковых преобразователей в перпендикулярных плоскостях с целью формирования ортогональных акустических лучей. Для достижения максимального удобства в работе возможно использование различных комбинаций стационарных и накладных преобразователей и методов измерения в разных каналах. При решении любых задач, где используется данная модель расходомера DF868, непрерывно измеряются расходы жидкостей в обоих каналах, а также определяются их сумма, разность и среднее значение. При определении утечек расход измеряется в двух различных точках одного трубопровода и по разности его значений устанавливается наличие утечки.

Накладные преобразователи

Использование накладных преобразователей позволяет проводить измерения скорости рабочего потока в металлических, пластиковых и даже в покрытых бетоном трубопроводах без нарушения их целостности. Установка преобразователей на месте может быть осуществлена с помощью большого набора монтажных приспособлений, учитывающих материал и размеры трубопровода, тип преобразователя и метод крепления (например, с помощью цепей, металлической ленты, «липучки» — VELCRO®, магнитов, болтов или сварных стальных скоб с перфорированными металлическими лентами). Универсальная система монтажа накладных преобразователей включает в себя блоки-фиксаторы с линейкой для установки необходимого расстояния между датчиками с целью обеспечения высокой точности измерения. Кроме того, специальная система монтажа позволяет устанавливать миниатюрные накладные преобразователи на трубы диаметром от 13 до 50 мм.

Стационарные преобразователи — максимальная точность измерения

Стационарные преобразователи фирмы Panametrics, применение которых не приводит к уменьшению сечения трубопроводов, могут быть использованы для эффективного решения большинства задач измерения расхода. Реализация времяимпульсного метода при правильной установке преобразователей позволяет получить величину погрешности менее 1 %, которая является достаточной для большинства практических задач, требовавших ранее дорогостоящих предварительно откалиброванных расходомеров. Диапазон измерения скорости рабочего потока лежит в пределах от 0,03 до 12,2 м/с при диаметрах трубопровода от 13 до 5000 мм. Разработанные способы монтажа преобразователей не дают возможности загрязнениям накапливаться в местах установки, не приводят к уменьшению сечения трубопровода и, тем самым, к потере давления. DF868 — прибор с цифровой обработкой информации, исключающей дрейф, не имеет движущихся частей и не нуждается в регулярном техническом обслуживании.

Автоматическая адаптация к изменению свойств среды

Все расходомеры DF868 реализуют уникальную технологию автоматической следящей коррекции окна приема (АСКОП), использование которой обеспечивает высокую точность измерения расхода даже в тех случаях, когда свойства жидкости изменяются или неизвестны. АСКОП динамично изменяет размеры окна приема при изменении скорости звука в жидкости. Эта важная особенность, присущая приборам DF868, позволяет осуществлять измерение расхода в тех случаях, когда скорость звука в жидкости неизвестна или ее величина изменяется из-за температурного дрейфа или состава среды. АСКОП функционирует при использовании как накладных, так и стационарных преобразователей, осуществляя прием ультразвукового сигнала с наименьшими искажениями. Это достигается вариацией времени между сигналом преобразователя и окном приема сигнала до тех пор, пока поступающий сигнал не будет найден. Следящая система автоматически разворачивает окно приема в зависимости от ожидаемых минимального и максимального значений скорости звука, которые задаются пользователем программным путем. Окно перемещается в соответствии с изменениями скорости звука. При обнаружении оптимального сигнала АСКОП фиксирует параметры окна приема до тех пор, пока не произойдет значительных изменений скорости звука. Затем АСКОП возвращается в режим автоматического поиска и вся процедура повторяется.

Дополнительное программное обеспечение Instrument Data Manager

Заказное программное обеспечение Instrument Data Manager (IDM) разработано фирмой Panametrics для обмена информацией расходомера DF868 с персональными компьютерами (РС). «Падающее меню» IDM обеспечивают простую загрузку параметров объектов измерения и данных калибровки из расходомера в РС для изменения или сохранения в его памяти. Эти данные из памяти РС могут быть загружены в один или несколько расходомеров, что исключает необходимость их дополнительного многократного программирования. С помощью IDM текущие значения измеряемых параметров или данные, могут быть представлены в цифровом или графическом форматах на экране монитора РС. Они также могут быть сохранены в памяти РС или занесены в электронные таблицы, системы редактирования текстов или в другие программы для построения графиков, диаграмм, составления отчетов. Так как IDM обеспечивает доступ почти ко всем функциям DF868, то использование IDM позволяет управлять работой DF868, дистанционно, с помощью клавиатуры РС.

Здравствуйте!
Мойнакская ГЭС высоконапорная гидростанция — 500 метров, деривационная система водовода длиной более 9000 метров под горным массивом, перед спиральной камерой установлен шаровый затвор и соединен трубой (диаметром 2300 мм, толщина стенки 40 мм — сталь), расстояние от шарового затвора до стены не более 3 метра.
Вопрос можно ли на этом участке установить ультразвуковой стационарный расходомер жидкости GE Sensing DigitalFlow DF868 ? или посоветуете другой

Нуржан Джаканов

Нуржан, добрый день,

Согласно рекомендациям со стороны производителя – рекомендуемые прямолинейные участки до и после места установки расходомера составляют 10 диаметров до места установки и 5 диаметров после места установки датчиков. Согласно Вашим данным расстояние до шарового крана составляет 3 метра – что является 1 диаметром – это крайне мало для данного типа расходомеров.
Важно понимать, что при полностью открытым шаровом затворе – задвижка не является местным сопротивлением – если она не ломает профиль потока.
Для окончательного ответа на поставленный вопрос хотелось бы видеть полную изометрию этого трубопровода – есть вероятность что внутри стены и достаточно прямолинейного участка.

Built-In Energy

Measurement Capability

Another feature that makes the DigitalFlow DF868 meter such a powerful and versatile flowmeter, is the energy measurement software included in every meter. The DigitalFlow DF868, with optional RTDs and input boards, extends the benefits of ultrasonic flow measurement to energy measurement. Benefits include measurement of flow and temperature without pipe penetration, and compatibility with pipes from 1 to 200 in

(25.4 mm to 5 m) in diameter. The DigitalFlow DF868 meter measures energy flow in water and water/glycol heating and cooling systems with temperatures from -4°F to 410°F (-20°C to 210°C). Consult GE for use with other liquid systems.

To ensure compatibility with existing or preferred temperature instrumentation, the DigitalFlow DF868 meter is available with three analog input boards. The transmitter input board provides 24 VDC loop power and two isolated 4 to 20 mA inputs for transmitters. For applications requiring raw RTDs, the RTD input board provides two isolated, three-wire RTD inputs for temperatures from -148°F to 662°F (-100°C to 350°C).

Sensing

The difference between the downstream and upstream transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.

The DF868 Flowmeter

Uses the Transit-Time Flow

Measurement Technique

The transit-time technique uses a pair of transducers, with each transducer sending and receiving coded ultrasonic signals through the fluid. When the fluid is flowing, signal transit time in the downstream direction is shorter than in the upstream direction. The difference between these transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flow. The DigitalFlow DF868 measures this time difference and uses programmed pipe parameters to determine flow rate and direction.

Transit-time flow measurement technique

Automatically Adjusts to Changing Fluid Properties

Our unique Automatic Tracking Window™ (ATW™) feature, standard in all DigitalFlow DF868 meters, ensures accurate flow measurements even when fluid properties are unknown or changing. Like the seek mode on a car stereo, ATW dynamically sweeps the receiver window whenever the sound speed of the fluid changes. This powerful feature enables flow measurement when the fluid sound speed is unknown, when it is changing due to large temperature shifts, or when a new liquid starts to flow in a multiproduct pipeline.

ATW works for both clamp-on and wetted transducer applications by searching for a reliable ultrasonic receive signal. It does this by varying the time between the transmit signal and the receive signal window until the receive signal is found. The tracking window automatically sweeps through a range of time intervals based on the minimum and maximum expected sound speeds programmed by the user.

The window moves (tracks) in response to changes in the fluid sound speed. Once the optimal signal is found, ATW locks onto it until another large change in sound speed occurs. When this happens, ATW returns to the seek mode until the optimal signal is found again.

Мануал на Panametrics DF-868

Доброго дня всем!
На сбросе подготовленной подтоварной воды в море, по проекту установлен 12″ Provirl 77, но в силу обстоятельств, воды для его устойчивой работы недостаточно, у него порог чувствительности от 68 м3/ч. В итоге нашли на склде двухканальный Panametrics DF-868, без документации, будем пробовать его. Если у кого есть русскоязычный мануал — пршу скинуть. Заранее благодарен.

у меня есть инструкция по эксплуатации на Panametrics DF 868.Весит 700кВ, в архиве. Но не нашел Ваш электронный адрес, а в форуме прикреплять не умею.
