AI Technical Summary
Because cryogenic fluids have lower density and lower differential pressure than conventional fluids, they require higher accuracy from differential pressure sensors. Existing differential pressure flow meters with inner and outer tubes require a reduction in the inner tube diameter or an increase in the divergence angle during measurement, which can lead to inaccurate flow measurement or flow disturbance.
A low-temperature tapered differential pressure flow measurement device is adopted, which includes a tapered tube, an internal and external differential pressure flow meter pipeline, an internal and external differential pressure flow meter, and a pressure tapping tube. The devices are connected by a welded sealing flange, and the pressure tapping tube is placed horizontally. Combined with a data input module and a processing module, the measurement accuracy and convenience are improved.
Increasing the differential pressure between the inner and outer pipes reduces the accuracy requirements of the differential pressure sensor, decreases the installation length requirement, improves the accuracy of flow measurement and system convenience, and is suitable for cryogenic fluid flow measurement.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-temperature fluid flow measurement experiment devices, in particular to a low-temperature tapered inner-outer tube differential pressure flow measurement device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the inner-outer tube differential pressure flowmeter is more conducive to accurate measurement of fluid flow because it does not change the total flow area of the fluid when measuring the flow, has less influence on the fluid flow pattern, reduces the disturbance to the fluid measurement, and obtains the differential pressure in the same cross section, eliminating the influence of the pressure drop before and after throttling on the differential pressure signal.
[0003] Compared with normal temperature fluid, low-temperature fluid has lower density, and its differential pressure is lower than that of conventional fluid under the same volumetric flow, so the accuracy requirement of the differential pressure sensor is higher. By changing the structure of the inner-outer tube differential pressure flowmeter to increase the inner-outer pressure difference, the inner tube diameter needs to be further reduced, the flow difference between the inner and outer tubes is increased, and thus the inner-outer pressure difference is increased. However, under the condition that the inner-outer tube differential pressure flowmeter gradually expands at a certain angle, reducing the diameter of the inner tube will greatly increase the overall length of the inner-outer tube differential pressure flowmeter, and if the expansion angle is increased or even directly changed, the fluid flow will be disturbed, resulting in vortex or even backflow, thereby causing inaccurate flow measurement.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, we propose a new low-temperature inner-outer tube differential pressure flow measurement device and system suitable for measuring low-temperature fluid flow, to avoid excessive increase in the length of the inner-outer tube differential pressure flowmeter.
