[0036] The pressure stabilizing system 4 is used to stabilize the pressure of the liquid flow in the high temperature zone so that it is always stable within the expected pressure range.
[0037] High temperature flow control valves are used to regulate liquid flow in the high temperature area of the calibration device.

The pressure stabilizing valve is a high temperature and high pressure regulating valve that can accurately control the pressure in the pipeline.
[0048] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the calibration device also includes a high-temperature and high-pressure stainless steel bellows expansion joint, which is connected to the top of the pressure-stabilizing container through a flange.

[0054] In this embodiment, the pressure reducing system 8 includes a pressure reducing valve and a pressure reducing container.
[0055] The working principle of the above standard meter method liquid flow calibration device based on the non-isothermal loop is:
[0056] Heating and exhausting stage: First, fill the calibration device with liquid medium, close the secondary cooling system 3, close the high-temperature flow regulating valve 5 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14, heat the liquid medium to 50°C through the high-temperature heating system 2, then open the high-temperature flow regulating valve 5 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14, keep the high-temperature heating system 2 in working state, start the water pump 13, make the liquid medium move at a lower flow rate, and gradually discharge the gas contained in the liquid medium through the exhaust valve system 15. It should be noted that the liquid medium can be water or oil. In the heating and exhausting stage, the liquid medium is heated slowly and is below 50°C.
[0057] Temperature and pressure increase stage: After the gas contained in the liquid medium is fully discharged, the liquid medium is kept circulating at a relatively low flow rate, the power of the high-temperature heating system 2 is increased to heat the liquid medium in the high-temperature zone, and the secondary cooling system 3 is turned on to cool the liquid medium in the low-temperature zone, so that the liquid medium in the high-temperature zone gradually reaches the expected high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the liquid medium in the low-temperature zone also gradually reaches the expected low-temperature and low-pressure state.
[0058] Testing phase: After the temperature and pressure of the high-temperature zone and the low-temperature zone reach the preset values, that is, after the non-isothermal medium conditions are formed, the power of the water pump 13 is increased. Driven by the water pump 13, the liquid medium passes through the tested high-temperature and high-pressure flowmeter 7 and the standard high-temperature and high-pressure flowmeter 11 at a set flow rate. At this time, the flow rate, temperature and pressure of the liquid medium also reach a stable state, and the calibration of the tested high-temperature and high-pressure flowmeter 7 can be started.
[0059] Calibration stage: maintain the liquid medium at the set flow, temperature and pressure state, and simultaneously record the measurement values of the high temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument 6, the tested high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 7, the low temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument 10, and the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 11. Take 300s as one measurement, repeat the measurement 6 times, record the average value of the measurement results of each instrument, take the temperature and pressure of the liquid medium in the high temperature zone and the average value of the temperature and pressure of the liquid medium in the low temperature zone as the current calibration medium conditions, and take the i-th flow measurement result Q of the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 11 as the medium condition. si and the i-th flow measurement result Q of the high temperature and high pressure flow meter 7 under test bi The high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 7 under test is calibrated for comparison. The calibration results are expressed in relative indication error and repeatability. The relative indication error of a single time is
[0060]
[0061] The relative indication error of the current flow point is
[0062]
[0063] Here, n is the number of repeated measurements.
[0064] The repeatability of the current flow point is
[0065]
[0066] Temperature and pressure reduction stage: After the test is completed, turn off the high-temperature heating system 2, open the low-temperature zone safety valve 12 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14 to quickly release the pressure, or do not open the low-temperature zone safety valve 12 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14, and wait for the liquid medium to cool down naturally until it returns to normal temperature and pressure.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] This embodiment provides an application example of the device described in Embodiment 1, wherein the design target temperature and pressure are 150°C and 2MPa respectively, the pipe diameter is DN100, and the design maximum flow rate is 1000m 3 / h.
[0069] In this embodiment, the high temperature and high pressure heat exchange system uses a high efficiency heat exchanger that can withstand a high temperature of 150°C and a high pressure of 2MPa. The heat exchanger is designed with a hot water side and a cold water side to achieve an isothermal loop.
[0070] Heating and exhausting stage: close the secondary cooling system 3, and close the high-temperature flow regulating valve 5 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14, start the high-temperature heating system, gradually increase the temperature of the water medium in the high-temperature zone to 50°C, start the water pump to make the water medium move at a lower flow rate, then open the high-temperature flow regulating valve 5 and the high-temperature zone safety valve 14, and gradually discharge the gas contained in the water medium through the exhaust valve system 15 until it is confirmed that there is no gas residual.
[0071] Temperature and pressure increase stage: The water medium in the high temperature zone is heated by increasing the power of the high temperature heating system 2, and the secondary cooling system 3 is turned on to cool the water medium in the low temperature zone, so that the temperature of the water medium in the high temperature zone in the device gradually increases to 150°C, and the pressure gradually increases to 2MPa. At the same time, the water medium in the low temperature zone is cooled to 35°C through the secondary cooling system 3, and the pressure of the water medium in the low temperature zone is 0.5MPa, forming an isothermal loop.
[0072] Test phase: Increase the power of the water pump. Driven by the water pump, the water medium flows at a set flow rate of 500m 3 / h through the tested high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 7 and the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 11 until the temperature and pressure of the water medium in the device reach a stable state and the flow rate stabilizes at 500m 3 / h, the calibration of the high-temperature and high-pressure flowmeter 7 under test can be started.
[0073] Calibration stage: First, keep the flow rate, temperature and pressure of the water medium stable, and simultaneously record the measured values of the high temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument 6, the tested high temperature and high pressure flow meter 7, the low temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument 10, and the standard high temperature and high pressure flow meter 11. Take 300s as one measurement, repeat the measurement 6 times, and record the average value of the measurement results of each instrument. Then, adjust the high temperature flow regulating valve 5 to make the flow rate in the pipeline reach 1000m 3 / h, and keep the flow rate stable, with 300s as one measurement, repeat the measurement 6 times, and record the average value of the measurement results of each instrument. Finally, the average values of the temperature and pressure of the water medium in the high temperature zone and the temperature and pressure of the water medium in the low temperature zone during the calibration process are recorded as the current calibrated medium conditions, and the flow measurement results of the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 11 are compared with the flow measurement results of the high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 7 under test, and the high temperature and high pressure flowmeter 7 under test is calibrated to calculate the relative indication error and repeatability of each flow point measurement.
[0074] Temperature reduction and pressure reduction stage: After the test is completed, the high temperature heating system is turned off, the secondary temperature reduction system 3 is started, and the low temperature zone safety valve 12 and the high temperature zone safety valve 14 are not opened. The temperature of the water medium is reduced to normal temperature by the secondary temperature reduction system 3, and the pressure of the water medium is reduced to normal pressure by not opening the low temperature zone safety valve 12 and the high temperature zone safety valve 14. Close all valves and systems to complete the calibration process.

A method for calibrating liquid flow rate using the standard meter method based on a non-isothermal loop as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The specific process is as follows: Heating and exhausting stage: First, fill the calibration device with liquid medium, close the secondary cooling system, close the high-temperature flow regulating valve and the high-temperature zone safety valve, heat the liquid medium to the set first temperature through the high-temperature heating system, then open the high-temperature flow regulating valve and the high-temperature zone safety valve, keep the high-temperature heating system in working state, start the water pump, make the liquid medium move at a lower flow rate, and gradually exhaust the gas contained in the liquid medium through the exhaust valve system; In the temperature rising exhaust stage, the liquid medium is slowly heated and is below the first temperature; Temperature and pressure increase stage: After the gas contained in the liquid medium is fully discharged, the liquid medium is kept circulating at a relatively low flow rate, the power of the high-temperature heating system is increased to heat the liquid medium in the high-temperature zone, and the secondary cooling system is turned on to cool the liquid medium in the low-temperature zone, so that the liquid medium in the high-temperature zone gradually reaches the expected high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the liquid medium in the low-temperature zone also gradually reaches the expected low-temperature and low-pressure state; Test phase: After the temperature and pressure of the high temperature zone and the low temperature zone reach the preset values, that is, after the non-isothermal medium conditions are formed, the power of the water pump is increased. Driven by the water pump, the liquid medium passes through the high temperature and high pressure flowmeter to be tested and the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter at the set flow rate. At this time, the flow rate, temperature and pressure of the liquid medium also reach a stable state, and the calibration of the high temperature and high pressure flowmeter to be tested can be started; Calibration phase: maintain the liquid medium at the set flow rate, temperature and pressure state, take the set time as one measurement, repeat the measurement n times, and simultaneously record the measurement values of the high temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument, the tested high temperature and high pressure flowmeter, the low temperature zone temperature and pressure instrument and the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter. The average value of the temperature and pressure of the liquid medium in the high temperature zone and the temperature and pressure of the liquid medium in the low temperature zone are used as the current calibration medium conditions, and the flow measurement result Q of the standard high temperature and high pressure flowmeter for the i-th time is used as the calibration medium condition. si and the i-th flow measurement result Q of the high temperature and high pressure flowmeter under test bi For comparison, the high temperature and high pressure flow meter under test is calibrated; the calibration result is expressed in relative indication error and repeatability, and the single relative indication error is: The relative indication error of the current flow point is: Where n is the number of repeated measurements; The repeatability of the current flow point is: Cooling and pressure reduction stage: After the test is completed, turn off the high-temperature heating system, open the low-temperature zone safety valve and the high-temperature zone safety valve to quickly release the pressure, or do not open the low-temperature zone safety valve and the high-temperature zone safety valve, and wait for the liquid medium to cool down naturally until it returns to normal temperature and pressure.
