Electromagnetic flowmeter

The LDE series electromagnetic flowmeter is an induction type instrument that measures the volume flow rate of conductive media inside a tube based on Faraday's electromagnetic induction law.

1、 Product Overview:

The LDE series electromagnetic flowmeter is an induction type instrument that measures the volume flow rate of conductive media inside a tube based on Faraday's electromagnetic induction law. It adopts embedded microcontroller technology to achieve digital excitation, and CAN fieldbus is used on the electromagnetic flowmeter. While meeting on-site display requirements, it can also output 4-20mA current signals for recording, adjustment, and control purposes. In addition to measuring the flow rate of general conductive liquids, the meter can also measure the volume flow rate of liquid-solid two-phase flow, high viscosity liquid flow, and salt, strong acid, and strong alkali liquids.

Integrated electromagnetic excitation utilizes constant current low-frequency ternary rectangular waves or dual frequency rectangular waves, which not only has the advantages of rectangular wave magnetic fields but also overcomes the disadvantages of sine wave magnetic fields; It can also eliminate errors caused by fluctuations in power supply voltage, changes in power supply frequency, and changes in excitation coil impedance; And it has zero point stability and is not affected by fluid noise interference. Therefore, it has the characteristics of high stability and high reliability. An electromagnetic flowmeter consists of a sensor and a converter. The sensor is installed on the measurement pipeline, and the converter can be combined and connected with the sensor to form an integrated flowmeter.

The split electromagnetic flowmeter adopts a split design, which is convenient for maintenance and increases the service life of the electromagnetic flowmeter. Wall mounted flow converter effectively protects the sensor conversion circuit, which is beneficial for anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, and waterproof. The product has simple wiring and convenient installation. The split electromagnetic system consists of a sensor and a converter. The sensor is installed on the measurement pipeline, and the converter is installed within 30 meters or 100 meters from the sensor. The two are connected by shielded cables to measure the volume flow rate of conductive liquids. The main components of the sensor are: measuring tube, electrode, excitation coil, iron core, and magnetic yoke housing. Mainly used to measure the volume flow rate of conductive liquids and slurries in closed pipelines.

2、 Working principle:

The LDE series electromagnetic flowmeter is based on the Faraday electromagnetic induction principle, and a pair of detection electrodes are installed on the tube wall perpendicular to the axis and magnetic field line of the measuring tube. When the conductive liquid moves along the axis of the measuring tube, it cuts the magnetic field line and generates an induced potential. This induced potential is detected by two detection electrodes, and the value is directly proportional to the flow rate. Its value is: E=KBVD. In the formula:

E - Induced electromotive force;

K - coefficient related to magnetic field distribution and axial length;

B - Magnetic induction intensity;

V - average flow rate of conductive liquid;

D - electrode spacing; (Measuring the inner diameter of the tube)

The sensor takes the induced electromotive force E as the flow signal and transmits it to the converter. After amplification, transformation filtering, and a series of digital processing, the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow are displayed on a backlit dot matrix LCD. The converter has 4-20mA output, alarm output and frequency output, and is equipped with communication interfaces such as RS-485. It also supports Hart and MODBUS protocols.
