A fan, in particular axial fan and preferably backward-curved radial fan, having an impeller equipped with blades, an electric motor for rotating the impeller and a device for determining the airflow when the impeller is rotating. The device for determining the airflow includes a volume flow measuring wheel arranged in the air flow, which is arranged upstream of the impeller on the inflow side. The air volume flow is calculated or derived from the rotational speed of the volume flow measuring wheel.

An interlock data collection and calibration system has a device computer, a gas delivery system, and a data port. The device computer has a computer processor and a computer memory. The gas delivery system delivers a gas sample to an ignition interlock device. The data port is operably connected with the device computer for enabling sample data from the ignition interlock device to be transmitted to the device computer. A calibration program operably installed on the computer memory receives the sample data, calibrates the ignition interlock device, and generates confirmation data, which is stored in a local database.

Technologies are described herein for detecting a reverse flow condition in a meter and providing an associated alert. An amount of reverse flow in the meter is accumulated over a time period. If the accumulated amount of reverse flow over the time period exceeds a threshold value, a reverse flow alert is provided.

A water meter has a measurement insert disposed in a meter housing, a measurement display, an intake connection and a discharge connection. An impeller is disposed on a shaft in a measurement insert housing, also referred to as impeller bowl. A first shaft end of the shaft interacts with the measurement display. The meter housing has, on a side facing away from the first shaft end, referred to as a lower side below, recesses or openings for receiving fasteners for fastening a cover, and a calibrating device for adjusting the measurement display. The calibrating device is inserted into at least one of the openings that can be closed by the cover.

A turbine type flow meter has a four-vaned plastic torpedo-shaped turbine mounted by portions of the plastic turbine within a housing between first and second bearings. The turbine supports a pair of magnets of the Neodymium-Iron-Boron type which rotate with the turbine. An upstream portion of the housing incorporates a sensor cavity, which is sealed from a flow cavity containing the turbine. A connector and an attached printed circuit board with a Hall effect sensor is mounted within the sensor cavity closely spaced from the rotating magnets. The sensor housing is constructed from two parts. Each part of the housing incorporates mating structures that are designed for joining by spin welding.

A meter is provided for measuring the volumetric flow of a fluid in a conduit. The meter comprises a pair of turbine assemblies. Each of the turbine assemblies are adapted to have a speed of rotation representative of a volumetric fluid flow that is independent of the other turbine assembly. A flow randomizer is located between the pair of turbine assemblies. The flow randomizer is operable to eliminate substantially all flow effects of one of the turbine assemblies upon the other turbine assembly. Means are provided for transducing the speed of rotation of at least one of the turbine assemblies.

A properly designed expansion chamber is mounted in a flowmeter test equipment configuration to quench or prevent pulsations from resonating the acoustic cavities in the configuration and, thereby, eliminate resonation errors in testing the accuracy of the flowmeter. The invention is particularly though not exclusively adapted to use with a testing configuration including a prover master meter and a conduit connecting the inlet of the prover master meter to the outlet of the gaseous flowmeter being tested. In the practice of the present invention, the pulsation frequencies can be quenched before the acoustic cavity within the conduit can be excited by introducing an expansion chamber at one or both ends of the conduit.

A measuring turbine with a turbine rotor arranged in a flow channel of a measuring tube comprises flow rectifiers, a turbine rotor and an adjusting element capable of influencing the rotating velocity of the turbine rotor through the fluid to be measured. The adjusting element is located after the discharge flow rectifier in the flow channel and is designed to also serve as the discharge connection and the connector fitting. The adjusting element is provided with an element varying the flow cross section of a definite size. The adjusting element preferably has an internal cone with an orifice plate in front of it in the direction of the flow.

A measuring apparatus is disclosed which is operated by the flowing of a medium. The apparatus comprises a rotor fitted coaxially within a flow pipe, a tachometer of the rotor and a flow guide member comprising a director and a controller. By means of these members the flow can be divided, according to the message received from a sensing element, into two components, of which at least one is screw-shaped or spiralling. By employing such a guide member the rotor is easily started, and its rotating speed is directly comparable to the quantity to be measured, as well as to volume flow. The sensing element can be for example a spiral-shaped bimetallic member reacting to changes in the flow temperature, the member being attached at its one end to the flow pipe and at its other end to the director. According to changes in the temperature the sensing element revolves around the director with respect to the controller, and the mutual proportion of the flow components is changed, as well as the rotating speed of the rotor.
摘要:
A device for bypassing flow rate pulsations resulting in reverse flow and abrupt flow rate surges around a volumetric flow rate transducer includes a housing defining a chamber. One end of the chamber is coupled in fluid communication with the inlet or upstream side of the transducer while the other end of the chamber is coupled in fluid communication with the outlet or downstream side of the transducer. A flexible, fluid impervious diaphragm is mounted in the housing so as to divide the chamber into two compartments. The diaphragm is affixed to the walls of the chamber so as to maintain a fluid seal between the two compartments of the chamber. When a forward flow rate pulsation occurs the resultant rise in the fluid pressure differential between the upstream and downstream compartments of the chamber will shift the diaphragm toward the downstream compartment. As the diaphragm moves, fluid is forced out of the downstream compartment and into the fluid stream on the downstream side of the transducer. After the pulse reaches its maximum and the flow begins to reverse, the reverse flowing fluid will drive the diaphragm back toward the compartment coupled to the upstream side of the transducer. As this occurs, the volume of the fluid that was driven into this chamber during the flow rate increase is exhausted from the upstream side of the chamber and is driven into the fluid stream upstream of the transducer. The net effect of the operation of the pulsation bypass device is to allow flow rate pulsations resulting in reverse flow to pass through the diaphragm, isolating the flow transducer from the pulsations by allowing the diaphragm to flex against the biasing spring and time averaging the flow through the transducer. Thus, the transducer is not exposed to sudden increases or decreases in flow rate.
