Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gas flow measuring device or gas meter, and more specifically to a differential pressure gas flow measuring device comprising a valve for restricting the gas flow through the device.
  • differential pressure gas flow measuring devices or gas meters comprising a valve for restricting a gas flow through the gas meter are known.
  • Reference EP0370557 relates to a method and device for measuring a quantity of gas flowing through a pipe provided with an adjustable valve or restriction having a number of selectable restriction areas, each having associated therewith a pair of an upper limit pressure difference and a lower limit pressure difference, said pair of limits providing a range of measurable values of pressure difference.
  • the method comprises: measurement of the pressure difference over the restriction, selecting a larger or smaller restriction area when the measured pressure difference is greater or smaller respectively than the upper limit pressure difference or lower limit pressure difference respectively of the presently selected restriction area, and determining the quantity of gas by computing the product of the actual pressure difference and a factor depending on the presently selected restriction area.
  • the factor representing a presently selected restriction area plays a crucial role for precisely calculating the flow quantity.
  • the plurality of these factors, each one for another selected restriction area, may also be referred to as valve-position constants Kn.
  • the corresponding Kn is required to be carefully defined during calibration of the gas flow measuring device.
  • the restriction according to EP0370557 is formed by a rotary disc sandwiched between two stationary discs, which results in considerable friction to be overcome when the rotary disc is moved from one angular position to another when selecting a restriction area. This gives rise to considerable inaccuracies in the desired angular positions, and poor repeatability and reproducibility of the angular positions, such that calibrating the gas flow measuring device takes considerable time. Even if the valve-position constants Kn have been defined and stored in the calibration procedure, still, due to the variable friction factors during actual use and circumstances of the gas flow measuring device, the valve (restriction) of the gas flow measuring device may not be set to the anticipated or desired position predefined during the calibration procedure. Accordingly, the accuracy of the measurement of the gas flow passing through the valve is impaired.
  • a gas flow measuring device having a housing comprising a gas inlet and a gas outlet is provided.
  • the gas flow measuring device comprises a valve arranged between the gas inlet and the gas outlet for restricting the gas flow from the gas inlet to the gas outlet.
  • the valve comprises an adjustable restriction.
  • the restriction comprises: a circular-shaped rotatable disc having a disc center, a disc radius, a first disc surface, an opposite second disc surface, and at least one disc passage formed as a cut-out section, and extending near an outer circumference of the disc along a predetermined angular section defined by a first angle, wherein the disc center is coupled to the actuator for setting an angular position of the disc; and a mount having a mount surface facing and contacting the first disc surface, and at least one mount passage extending along a predetermined angular section defined by a second angle.
  • At least one of the first disc surface and the mount surface comprises a ring-shaped area extending above the surface thereof contacting the other one of the first disc surface and the mount surface.
  • the mount further comprises a ring-shaped part contacting the second disc surface.
  • the ring-shaped area can be formed either at the mount surface, at the first disc surface, or at both the mount surface and the first disc surface.
  • the ring-shaped area defines a first contact area between the mount and the disc. The remainder of any of the surfaces may be recessed and not in contact with the other one of the first disc surface and the mount surface. Therefore, the first contact area between the mount surface and the first disc surface is relatively small. Any friction caused at the first contact area when moving the disc relative to the mount during calibration and actual use of the gas flow measuring device is low accordingly. The low friction results in a very good repeatability and reproducibility of a setting of an angular position of the disc relative to the mount, and thus of a very good repeatability and reproducibility of a restriction area of a restriction formed by the disc and the mount. Accordingly, the valve-position constants used in determining a gas flow in the gas flow measuring device remain stably and accurately related to the actual restriction area set in the device, without requiring any measurement and feedback of the disc position.
  • the ring-shaped area can also be provided by a separate ring-shaped element arranged between the mount surface and the first disc surface in order to obtain a small first contact area between the mount surface and the first disc surface.
  • the ring-shaped area comprises an outer ring periphery and an inner ring periphery.
  • a radius of the outer ring periphery is at most equal to the radius of the first disc surface.
  • a radius of the inner ring periphery is smaller than both the radius of the outer ring periphery and the radius of the first disc surface.
  • a radius of a recessed area may be substantially the same as of the radius of the inner ring periphery.
  • a second contact area between the mount and the disc may be formed between a ring-shaped part of the mount and the second disc surface.
  • the second contact area comprises an outer periphery formed by an outer periphery of the rotatable disc contacted by the ring-shaped part of the mount, and an inner periphery formed by an inner ring periphery of the ring-shaped part of the mount contacted by the rotatable disc.
  • the second contact area between the ring-shaped part of the mount and the second disc surface is small.
  • the friction generated in the second contact area by moving the disc relative to the mount is low accordingly.
  • the ring-shaped part of the mount may be an independent element arranged in contact with the second disc surface.
  • first contact area and the second contact area can also be formed as a sealing for preventing gas from flowing through the first contact area and/or the second contact area so as to allow a gas flow from the gas inlet to the gas outlet only through the disc passage and the mount passage.
  • the first angle for defining the predetermined angular section of the disc is at most 180 degrees, thereby providing an optimum area for the disc passage.
  • the disk passage has an edge, wherein the edge is located in an area defined by a first radius, a second radius, and the first angle, wherein the second radius is larger than the first radius.
  • the second radius is substantially the same as the disc radius.
  • the mount passage has an edge, wherein the edge is located in an area defined by a third radius, a fourth radius, and the second angle, wherein the fourth radius is larger than the third radius.
  • the third radius is at most equal to the first radius
  • the fourth radius is at least equal to the second radius
  • the second angle is at least equal to the first angle.
  • the first radius is at most equal to the third radius
  • the second radius is at least equal to the fourth radius
  • the first angle is at least equal to the second angle
  • an orientation of the mount passage is the same as an orientation of the disc passage, when the mount passage and the disc passage are asymmetric.
  • the mount passage is congruent to the disc passage and the mount passage is alignable with the disc passage in one angular position of the disc.
  • the shape of the disc passage and the shape of the mount passage are formed in such a manner that when the rotatable disc is rotated to one or more predetermined positions, the disc passage is not restricted by the mount passage or vice versa.
  • the gas can pass through the full area of at least one of the disc passage and the mount passage.
  • a radial width of at least one of the disc passage and the mount passage increases proportionally from a first angular position to a second angular position in the predetermined angular section of the disc and the predetermined angular section of the mount, respectively.
  • the maximum radial width of at least one of the disc passage and the mount passage is about one third of the disc radius.
  • At least one of the disc passage and the mount passage has substantially a shape of a side view of a disintegrating droplet curved around a central area of the disc or around a central area of the mount, respectively.
  • the ring-shaped part of the mount contacts at least a portion of a circumferential edge of the second disc surface and the second disc surface at a radius which is greater than the second radius.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS In the Figures, first a method of measuring a gas flow through an adjustable restriction will be explained by reference to Figures 1 , 2, 3a and 3b. Then, an improved restriction construction will be explained by reference to the remaining Figures.
  • the gas flow measuring device comprises a housing 1 through which gas can flow in the direction indicated by the arrows 2.
  • the housing 1 has a restriction 3 comprising a mount 4 and a rotatable disc 5 which contact each other and are disposed at right angles to the direction 2 of the flow of gas in the housing 1 .
  • the mount 4 rests in sealing fashion against the inside wall of the housing 1 , and the disc 5 is rotatable by means of a stepping motor 7, which is disposed in the housing 1 in such a way (not shown) that it does not rotate, and comprises a shaft 8 which is coupled to the centre of the disc 5.
  • the mount 4 and the disc 5 each have a passage 9 and 10, respectively.
  • the passage 10 can be turned more or less, or completely, opposite the passage 9 (as will be illustrated in further detail below), so that the area, which will also be called restriction area below, of the common passage of the mount 4 and the disc 5 can be set for the gas.
  • the stepping motor 7 is connected to a processing circuit 13, which is also connected to an absolute temperature sensor 14 disposed in the housing 1 , an absolute pressure sensor 15 disposed in the housing 1 , a differential pressure sensor 16, which is connected by means of pipes 17 and 18 to the spaces on either side of the restriction 3, a control panel 19, a display panel 20, and a memory 21.
  • Figure 2 depicts a graph showing relationships between pressure differences dP, up to a maximum pressure difference (dP max).
  • a pressure difference dP measured by the pressure difference meter 16 is zero when the gas is at a standstill in the housing 1 and the quantity Q of gas flowing through the housing 1 per unit of time thus is zero.
  • the pressure difference will change in approximately linear fashion as a function of the quantity Q of gas flowing through the housing 1 .
  • the line parts indicated by A1 , A2 and A3 correspond to respective increasing restriction areas.
  • Q dP-Ai (1 )
  • the quantity of gas flowing through the housing 1 per unit time is thus determined depending on the current pressure difference dP.
  • the processing circuit 13 through appropriate control of the stepping motor 7 selects a greater restriction area, and the processing circuit 13 selects a smaller restriction area when the pressure difference falls below a minimum pressure difference corresponding to the current restriction area.
  • the transition for the choice between two different restriction surfaces may have a hysteresis, as shown in Figure 2 by the vertical lines provided with arrows. This counteracts oscillation of the measurement.
  • Rho density of medium, compensated for Pa and Ta
  • Rgas a density constant of a certain medium (gas)
  • v velocity of the medium in the valve.
  • the flow Q is:
  • the passed amount of medium is:
  • the first position of the valve has a lower limit of zero for both flow and pressure.
  • the upper pressure limit is equal for all positions.
  • the lower pressure limit is higher for higher flow-ranges. This is because of the exponent in the formula for the flow, which causes less accuracy with lower pressure. So it is important to increase the lower pressure limit with increasing flow.
  • hysteresis is necessary to prevent the valve to oscillate between two adjacent positions.
  • the hysteresis is only calculated when the position has to be decreased. Increasing the position happens always when the pressure difference exceeds the upper limit.
