Capacitive Vortex Flowmeter

Capacitive Vortex Flowmeter – Product Overview

The Capacitive Vortex Flowmeter is an advanced flow measurement solution designed for both liquids and gases, including corrosive media, slurries, pulp, seawater, and chemical solutions. Its innovative capacitive sensor technology delivers accurate, reliable, and stable flow measurements across a wide range of industrial applications.

How It Works
The sensor probe uses a pair of differential capacitors. Vortices generated by the vortex shedding body alternately act on the probe, causing capacitance changes. These changes are amplified and converted into digital flow pulse signals, providing precise real-time flow measurement.

Key Advantages

• Wide Operating Range: Measures both high and very low flow velocities.

• High Accuracy & Stability: Flow measurement is virtually unaffected by pressure, temperature, density, or viscosity of the medium.

• Excellent Vibration Resistance: Unique internal structure ensures reliable operation even in environments with vibrations.

• High-Temperature Resistant: Capacitor plates are made of high-grade ceramic, withstanding temperatures over 1000°C.

• Intelligent & User-Friendly: Automatic frequency tracking, no zero drift, and freely adjustable measuring range. Field-ready installation with no calibration required.

• Versatile Applications: Suitable for gas and liquid media, both forward and reverse flow measurement.

• Durable & Reliable: Superior corrosion and wear resistance ensures long-term operational stability.

Installation Recommendations

• Install horizontally or vertically with upward flow.

• Ensure sufficient straight pipe sections upstream and downstream of the sensor.

• Avoid placing flow control valves upstream.

• Use flow straighteners if straight pipe lengths are limited.

• Minimize vibration impact with support points or flexible hoses if necessary.

• For high-temperature pipelines, install the transmitter vertically downward.

Applications
Widely used in industries such as:

• Chemical and petrochemical

• Paper and pulp

• Water supply and wastewater treatment

• Food and beverage processing

• Pharmaceuticals

• Steel and metallurgy

• Textile and dyeing

Summary
With its high precision, robust construction, wide measuring range, and intelligent operation, the Capacitive Vortex Flowmeter provides reliable, maintenance-free flow measurement, making it an ideal choice for modern industrial processes.
