Vortex Flow Meters from Badger Meter
The new VN2000 vortex flow meters from Badger Meter are
available from Bell Flow Systems and offer an ideal solution for a range of
applications for measuring volumetric or mass flow of liquids, gases and steam.
As a robust and reliable meter and with a large turn-down ratio these meters
are an ideal solution for a range of applications.
The vortex meter technology lends itself well to harsh
environments due to the lack of mechanical parts and solid construction. The
VN2000 model is no exception and with its solid stainless steel construction
and non-wetted sensors it takes this further offering a heavy-duty option with an
exceptionally long life span, maintaining accuracy for many years and reducing
maintenance costs over time in comparison to other metering technologies.
The VN2000 meters have the option of an integrated RTD
temperature sensor, which is used for mass flow calculations and can also have
a second external RTD connected to calculate energy transfer across a heat exchanger.
The benefit of a high 204°C process temperature rating and a large flow range
lends the meter to more applications especially where flow rates may span from low
to high.
Two models are available in the range; a compact and a Hot
Tap insertion model. As an insertion
meter, flow in large pipes can be measured and the Hot Tap model can be used to
measure pipes from 2 to 24” (50 to 1200mm). This hot-tap model also allows installation
during high pressure applications without a system shut down, reducing costs
and inconvenience involved when the meter needs to be removed and reinstalled.
When installing electronic flow meters there is always the possibility
of incorrect wiring, having to open up the meter to fit wires into hard to
reach terminal blocks can create errors and can also be time consuming. The
VN2000 models are provided with a Power Plug, which eliminates wiring errors in
the field. The plug connects to the enclosure meaning all wiring is done
externally allowing for quick and easy connections. This includes wiring for
the analogue output, Modbus and external RTD when used for energy calculations.
