Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flow measurement, in particular to a high-temperature-resistant flowmeter.
Background
As a core link of industrial process control, the accuracy and reliability of the flow measurement directly affect the operation efficiency of a production system, and in high-temperature industrial scenes such as petrochemical industry, metallurgy smelting and the like, a conventional flowmeter faces multiple technical bottlenecks:
the thermal stability defect is that under the high-temperature working condition of more than 400 ℃, the difference of thermal expansion coefficients of materials of a metal transmission part of the traditional mechanical flowmeter causes the clearance change of a kinematic pair, and the mechanical clamping phenomenon is caused, for example, the torque loss of a gear transmission system is increased by 40% when the temperature gradient delta T=200 ℃, so that the measurement precision is seriously restricted;
the electronic component is thermally damaged, namely the contact sensor is easy to cause thermal drift of a signal conditioning circuit under the conduction of a high-temperature medium, and the zero drift rate of a resistance strain gauge is typically more than 0.05%/DEGC;
The dynamic response is deteriorated, namely when the temperature of fluid of the existing turbine flowmeter is suddenly changed, the elastic modulus of impeller material is reduced to cause the resonance frequency to deviate, and when the flow rate is more than 30m/s, the vibration amplitude breaks through the D-level limit value of ISO 10816-3 standard, so that the early failure of the bearing is caused;
the corrosion resistance is insufficient, the corrosion rate of a common carbon steel impeller can reach 0.12 mm/year under the environment of high-temperature sulfur-containing medium, and the impeller sprayed with the hard alloy coating is easy to generate coating peeling due to interface thermal stress.
