Abstract
Description

[0002] The orifice plate flowmeter is a common differential pressure flowmeter and is widely used in industrial fluid measurement. The traditional single orifice plate flowmeter is widely used due to its simple structure and low cost, but its measurement accuracy is affected by various factors. The presence of pipeline accessories such as elbows and valves will cause flow field distortion, thereby affecting the accuracy of the measurement results. In order to improve the measurement accuracy and stability of the flowmeter, the orifice plate flowmeter has emerged. The orifice plate flowmeter can distribute the kinetic energy of the fluid more evenly by setting multiple holes on the plate body, reduce the pressure loss of the fluid before and after the orifice plate, and thus improve the measurement accuracy.

[0040] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.
[0041] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0042] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that mutually excludes other embodiments.
[0043] Thirdly, the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally out of the general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width, and depth should be included.
[0044] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a high-performance orifice plate flowmeter, including an orifice plate body 100, and its specific parameters are as follows: the number of peripheral small holes n = 4; the center hole diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the radius r of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes = 0.32D; the diameter dq of the pressure tapping hole = 0.03D, the distance L1 from the front pressure tapping hole = 25.4 mm; the distance L2 from the rear pressure tapping hole = 25.4 mm; where D is the inner diameter of the pipeline.
[0045] Among them, regarding the relevant structural parameters of the orifice plate flowmeter, the explanations are as follows, as Figure 2 shown:
[0046] Pipeline diameter D: the straight pipe diameters before and after the orifice plate;
[0047] Diameter ratio β: the equivalent diameter of the orifice area of the orifice plate / the pipeline diameter;
[0048] Orifice plate thickness E: the thickness of the orifice plate, in the present invention E = 0.03D;
[0049] Thickness e of the straight section of the throttling hole of the orifice plate: the length of the straight section of the small hole of the orifice plate, in the present invention e = 0.02D;
[0050] Chamfer angle α of the throttling hole: the chamfer angle of the small hole of the orifice plate on the outflow side, in the present invention α = 45°;
[0051] Center hole diameter d1: the diameter of the central circular hole of the orifice plate;
[0052] Radius r of the pitch circle of the peripheral small holes: the radius of the pitch circle where the centers of the peripheral small holes of the orifice plate are located;
[0053] Number of holes n: the number of peripheral small holes of the orifice plate;
[0054] Peripheral small hole diameter d2: the diameter of the peripheral small holes of the orifice plate, determined according to the number of holes n, the diameter ratio β, and the center hole diameter d1;
[0055] Pressure tapping method: flange pressure tapping is adopted in this design;
[0056] Diameter dq of the pressure tapping hole: the diameter of the pressure tapping hole, in the present invention dq = 0.03D, and dq is between 3 and 13 mm;
[0057] Distance L1 from the front pressure tapping hole: the distance between the center of the front pressure tapping hole and the front surface of the orifice plate, L1 = 25.4 mm;
[0058] Distance L2 from the rear pressure tapping hole: the distance between the center of the rear pressure tapping hole and the rear surface of the orifice plate, L2 = 25.4 mm.
[0059] In order to verify the performance of the orifice plate flowmeter, the Fluent software was used to conduct steady numerical simulations on orifice plate flowmeters with different structures and different working fluids. The Realizable k-ε turbulence model was adopted for the simulations. Except for the different orifice plate structures, the numerical simulation methods were exactly the same. Finally, the performance of orifice plate flowmeters with different structures was obtained, and the orifice plate flowmeter with the best performance was ultimately determined.
[0060] Among them, the pressure losses of orifice plate flowmeters with different numbers of peripheral small holes are not very different. Considering the cost savings in processing, the number of small holes n = 4 in the periphery was selected;
[0061] When the orifice ratio β = 0.6, as the central orifice diameter increases, the flow measurement of the orifice plate flowmeter becomes more unstable. After comprehensively considering the pressure loss and the stability of flow measurement, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D was selected;
[0062] When the orifice ratio β = 0.6, as the circumferential radius of the center circle of the peripheral small holes decreases, the pressure difference fluctuation before and after the orifice plate flowmeter becomes larger, and the flow measurement becomes more unstable. In order to ensure the stability of flow measurement, the circumferential radius of the center circle of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D was selected;
[0063] Based on the above results, when the orifice ratio β = 0.6, the high-performance orifice plate structure is: the number of holes n = 4, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the circumferential radius of the center circle of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D;
[0064] When the orifice ratio β changes, the structural parameters of the high-performance orifice plate flowmeter should change accordingly, as shown in Table 1;
[0065] Table 1: Structural parameters of high-performance orifice plate flowmeters under different orifice ratios
[0066]
[0067] The main structural parameters of the finally determined high-performance orifice plate flowmeter are shown in Table 1, and the remaining parameters are as follows:
[0068] The number of holes n = 4; flange pressure tapping; the diameter of the pressure tapping hole dq = 0.03D, and dq is between 3 and 13 mm; the distance of the front pressure tapping hole L1 = 25.4 mm; the distance of the rear pressure tapping hole L2 = 25.4 mm.
[0069] Furthermore, it was determined that the length of the front straight pipe section required for the measurement of the orifice plate flowmeter is 4 times the pipe diameter, and the length of the rear straight pipe section is 2 times the pipe diameter.
[0070] Furthermore, the pressure tapping method of the orifice plate body 100 is flange pressure tapping; the orifice plate body 100 is made of stainless steel material.
[0071] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-8, which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for verifying a high-performance orifice plate flowmeter: This method includes:
[0072] Design and establish orifice plate structure models with different structures; as Figure 4 shown in the schematic diagrams of orifice plates with different structures designed.
[0073] Import the orifice plate flowmeter models with different structures into the mesh generation software ICEM, use block-structured meshes to generate meshes for the models, and refine the meshes near the wall surfaces;
[0074] Using water as the working medium, perform steady-state numerical simulations for different working conditions on the meshed models using the Realizable turbulence model to obtain simulation data.
[0075] The steps for using the Realizable turbulence model are as follows:
[0076] Import the meshed orifice plate flowmeter model into the FLUENT software, and use the Scale option in the General tab to change the model unit to meters;
[0077] Set the turbulence model and wall functions in the Model option;
[0078] Define the flowing working medium as water in the Material tab;
[0079] Define the boundary conditions in the Boundary Condition tab;
[0080] Set the calculation method in the Solution Methods tab;
[0081] Set the convergence residuals in the Monitors tab;
[0082] In the Solution Initialization tab, select Absolute under Standard Initialization, input the initial parameters, and then click the Initialize option to complete the initialization;
[0083] Set the save steps and save locations in sequence in the Calculation Activities option;
[0084] Set the number of calculation steps in the Run Calculation tab and then click the Calculation option to start the calculation, and finally obtain simulation data for different working conditions.
[0085] Open the simulation data with CFD-POST software, and extract the flow rate through the perforated plate, the total pressure at 1 pipe diameter in front of the perforated plate, the total pressure at 6 pipe diameters behind the perforated plate, and the pressures at the pressure tapping points in front of and behind the perforated plate for each working condition in Expressions. Finally, obtain the pressure loss and discharge coefficient of the orifice plate flowmeter under different working conditions.
[0086] Finally, determine a high-performance orifice plate flowmeter based on the pressure loss and discharge coefficient of orifice plate flowmeters with different structures obtained from numerical simulations under different working conditions.
[0087] The simulation results show that:
[0088] The pressure losses of orifice plate flowmeters with different numbers of peripheral small holes are not significantly different. Considering the processing cost savings, select the number of peripheral small holes n = 4;
[0089] When the orifice diameter ratio β = 0.6, as the central orifice diameter increases, the flow measurement of the orifice plate flowmeter becomes more unstable. After comprehensively considering the pressure loss and flow measurement stability, select the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D;
[0090] When the orifice diameter ratio β = 0.6, as the pitch circle radius of the centers of the peripheral small holes decreases, the pressure difference fluctuation before and after the orifice plate flowmeter becomes larger, and the flow measurement becomes more unstable. To ensure the flow measurement stability, select the pitch circle radius of the centers of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D;
[0091] Based on the above results, when the orifice diameter ratio β = 0.6, the high-performance orifice plate structure is: the number of holes n = 4, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the pitch circle radius of the centers of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D;
[0092] When the orifice diameter ratio β changes, the structural parameters of the high-performance orifice plate flowmeter should change accordingly, as shown in Table 1.
[0093] Furthermore, when the orifice diameter ratio β = 0.6, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the pitch circle radius of the centers of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D, the numerical simulation results of orifice plate flowmeters with different numbers of peripheral small holes at different flow rates are shown in Table 2;
[0094] Table 2: Numerical simulation of orifice plate flowmeters with different numbers of peripheral small holes at different flow rates
[0095]
[0096] It can be seen that the errors of the pressure loss and discharge coefficient of the orifice plate flowmeter under different numbers of holes (based on the discharge coefficient at a flow rate of 141.1 kg / s) are not significantly different. Since the more holes there are, the higher the processing cost, finally select the number of holes n = 4.
[0097] Furthermore, when the aperture ratio β = 0.6 and the radius of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D, the numerical simulation results for different central aperture diameters d1 are shown in Table 3 as follows:
[0098] Table 3: Numerical simulation results for different central aperture diameters d1
[0099]
[0100] It can be seen that as the central aperture diameter increases, both the differential pressure and pressure loss at the pressure tapping points of the orifice plate flowmeter decrease, but the discharge coefficient and flow measurement error increase. And the numerical simulation results show that as the central aperture diameter increases, the pressure fluctuation at the pressure tapping point behind the orifice plate also increases, that is, the stability of flow measurement becomes worse, as Figure 6 shown.
[0101] Furthermore, when the aperture ratio β = 0.6 and the central aperture diameter d1 = 0.1D, the numerical simulation results for different radii r of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes are shown in Table 4;
[0102] Table 4: Numerical simulation results for different radii r of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes
[0103]
[0104]
[0105] It can be seen that as the radius of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes decreases, the pressure loss of the orifice plate flowmeter decreases; except that the flow measurement error is relatively large when the radius of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes r = 0.25D, the flow measurement errors in other working conditions are relatively small. But the numerical simulation results show that after the radius of the pitch circle of the centers of the peripheral small holes decreases, the pressure fluctuation at the pressure tapping point behind the orifice plate flowmeter also increases, that is, the stability of flow measurement becomes worse, as Figure 7 shown.
[0106] Furthermore, the simulation calculation results of orifice plates with different aperture ratios are shown in Table 5;
[0107] Table 5: Simulation calculation results of orifice plates with different aperture ratios
[0108]
[0109]
[0110] Judging from the simulation calculation process, for the orifice plate flowmeters with the two structures of aperture ratio β = 0.5, r = 0.267D and aperture ratio β = 0.4, r = 0.32D, large fluctuations will occur in the differential pressure between the pressure tapping holes before and after the orifice plate. Therefore, they are not suitable for practical flow measurement, as Figure 7As shown. The pressure differences at the pressure tapping points before and after the rest of the structural orifice plates are very stable. Therefore, different methods should be adopted for the orifice plates with orifice ratio β = 0.5 and orifice ratio β = 0.4 in terms of the radius of the pitch circle of the peripheral small holes.
[0111] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-8 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that superheated steam is used as the working medium, and steady-state numerical simulations of the high-performance orifice plate flowmeter under different working conditions are carried out to obtain simulation data. The simulation steps are to define the flowing working medium as superheated steam in the Material tab, and the remaining steps are the same as the simulation process with water as the working medium.
[0112] Furthermore, under the superheated steam working medium, when the orifice ratio β = 0.6, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the radius of the pitch circle of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D, the numerical simulation results at different flow rates are shown in Table 6:
[0113] Table 6: Numerical simulation results at different flow rates
[0114]
[0115]
[0116] It can be seen that the correction factors of the orifice plate flowmeters under different working conditions are all very little different from 0.998. Therefore, finally, the correction factor of the orifice plate expansion coefficient is taken as 0.998, that is, the expansion coefficient εm of the orifice plate flowmeter is 0.998 times the expansion coefficient ε of the single orifice plate flowmeter, εm = 0.998ε
[0117] Furthermore, with water as the working medium, steady-state numerical simulations of the high-performance orifice plate flowmeter with elbows before and after are carried out to obtain simulation data.
[0118] Among them, when the orifice ratio β = 0.6, the central orifice diameter d1 = 0.1D, and the radius of the pitch circle of the peripheral small holes r = 0.32D, the simulation calculation results under different working conditions with elbows before and after the orifice plate flowmeter are shown in Table 7:
[0119] Table 7: Simulation calculation results under different working conditions with elbows before and after the orifice plate flowmeter
[0120]
[0121] It can be seen that by ensuring 4D straight pipe sections before the orifice plate flowmeter and 2D straight pipe sections after the orifice plate, the influence of the elbows on the flow measurement of the orifice plate flowmeter can be eliminated. Therefore, to ensure the measurement accuracy of the orifice plate flowmeter, there should be at least 4 times the pipe diameter of straight pipe sections before the orifice plate, and at least 2 times the pipe diameter of straight pipe sections after the orifice plate.
[0122] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 2.
