Deta. ed Description
Referring firstt o Figure 1, a fluid flow r te measuring arrangement 100 according to a first embodirrent is shown.
The arrangement 100 comprises a casting 110. The casting 110 has a path through the casting, through which a fluid flow 130 to he measured flows. The path comprises an upstream portion 133 through which an upstream flow 131 -10 -flows, a flow restriction orifice 135 at* *Lhe downstream end of the upstream portion 133 and a downstream portion 134 through which a downstream flow 132 flows.
Coming of.f th.. e upstream portion 133 of the path through the casting are two pressure feeds; an upstream analogue pressure feed 141 and an upstream digital. pressure feed 142. Coming off the downstream portion 134 of the path thr ugh the casting are two pressure feeds; a downstream analogue pressure feed 143 and a downstream digital pressure feed 144.. The pressure feeds are collectively referred by reference numeral 140.
The upstream analogue pressure feed 141 is connected to an upstream analogue pressure tap 141a, such that one end of an analogue pressure measuring device, such as a manometer, (not shown) can he connected. The downstream ana ogue pressure feed 143 is connected to a downstream analogue pressure tap 143a, such that an opposite end of tt.e analogue pressure measuring device (not shown) can he connected.
The upstream digital pressure feed 14.2 and the downstream digital pressure feed 144 are both connected to an elongate channel 120 extending inwards into the casting 110.
A digital pressure sensor device 1.50 is partial. ly -:i. :i. -accommodated in Lhe channel 120. The digital pressure sensor device 150 comprises an elongate portion 151 for insertion in the channel 120 and a body portion 152. The elongate portion 151. contains the pressure sensor for measuring the pressure difference between the f ui.ds in the two pressure feeds 142, 144. The body portion 152 contains electronics associated with the pressure sensor.
The digital pressure sensor device 150 is connected Lo a network communication device (not sh.own) usi.n.g wires (not shown) . The neLwork communicaLion device (noL shown) is th..e n connected over a n..e twork to a reading device (not shown) at a remoLe location (noL shown) in use, a fluid flow 130 flows through the path in the casting 110. Due to the flow restriction 135, the pressure of the fluid in the upstream portion 133 (and hence in upstream anal ogue pressure feed 141. and upstream digital.
pressure feed 142) is at a higher pressure than the fluid in the downstream portIon 134 (and hen.ce in downstream analogue pressure feed 143 and downsLream digiLal pressure feed 144) kn analogue pressure measuring device conn.ected to the two pressure taps l4la and 143a can measure Lhe pressure difference between the upstream analogue pressure feed 1.41.
and the downstream analogue pressure feed 143. The digital pressure sensor device 150 can measure the pressure -12 -difference between the upstream digital pressure feed 142 and the downstream digital pressure feed 144.
The pressure differences measured should be comparable. The pressure difIerence(s) measured can then.. be used to calculate a flow rate of the fluid, as explained above. Ti..is calculation could he done by the electronics in the body port.i.o.n 152 o** the digital. pressure sensor device 150. The flow rate and/or* *Lhe pressure difference and/or another value corresponding to the pressure difference could be outputted by the digital pressure sensor device 150, via the network cornmun cat.ion device, over the network to the remote location.
Referring to Figure 2, a fluid flow rate measuring arrangement 200 according to a second embodiment is shown.
Similar elements to the first embodiment fluid flow measuring arrangement 100 are label led with the same reference numerals hut pre-fixed by a "2." instead of a "1".
The arrangement 200 comprises a casting 210. The casting 210 has a path through the casting, through which a fluid flow 230 to he measured flows. The path comprises an upstream portion 233 through wh.ich an upstream flow 231 flows, a flow restriction orifice 235 at the downstream end of the upstream portion 233 and a downstream portion 234 thr cgh which a downstream flow 232 flows.
-13 -Coming off the upstream poxt ion 233 of the path through the casting is one pressure feed; an upstream pressure feed 245. Coming off the downstream portion 234 of the path through the casting is one pressure feed; a downstream pressure feed 246.
The upstream pressure feed 245 and the downstream pressure feed 246 are both coi.nected to a connector portion 253 of a digital pressure sensor device 250. The digital pressure sensor device 250 also comprises an elongate portion 251 insett ed in the connector portion and a body portion 25? The elongate port..on 251 contains the pressure sensor for measuring* the pressure difference between the fluids in the two pressure feeds 245, 246. The body portion 252 contains electronics associated with the pressure sensor.
The digital pressure sensor device 250 is connected to a network communication dev...ce (not shown) us..ng wires (not shown) . The network communication device (not shown) i.s then connected over a network** to a reading device (not shown) at a remote location (not shown.) En use, a.J uid flow 230 flows th.rough the path in the casting 210. Due to the flow restriction 235, the pressure of the fluid in the upstream portion 233 (and hence in upstream pressure feed 245) is at a higher pressure than the fl.uid in the downstream portion 234 (and hence in -14 -downstream pressure feed 246) The digital pressure sensor device 250 can measure the pressure difference between the upstream pressure feed 245 and th..e downstream pressure f.eed 246.
The pressure difference measured can then he used to calculate a flow rate of the fluid, as explained above.
This calculation could be done by the electronics in the body portion 252 of the di.g tal pressure sensor device 250.
The flow rate and/o* the pressure difference and/or another value correspon ing to the pressure difference could he outputted by the digital pressure sensor device 250, via the network communication device, over the network to the remote location.
in addition, the connector portion 253 of the digital pressure sensor device 250 could be disconnected and instead an analogue pressure measuring device (not shown) could he connected to the ends of the two pressure feeds 245, 246. The analogue pressure measuring device could then measure the pressure difference between the upstream pressure feed 245 and the downstream pressure feed 246.
Th s could be used to verify the pressure difference measured by the digital pressure sensor device 250.
Whilst the present invention has been described and illustrated with reference to particular embodiments, it -15 -will he appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention lends itself to many different variations not specifically illustrated herein.
For example, the flow restriction orifice 135/235 could be a fixed orifice flow restriction. Alternatively, it cou.l d be a variab e orif cc flow restriction. if a variable orifice flow restriction i.s used, the orl..ce would generally be kept at a set orifice opening amount and would act, in use, 3 ke a f xed orif cc f...low restri ction.
Where,.in the foregoing description, integers or
elements are mentioned which have known, obvious or foreseeable equivalents, then such equivalents are herein incorporated as if individually set forth. Reference should be made to the claims for determining the true scope of the present invention, which should be construed so as to encompass any such equivalents. It will also be appreciated by the reader that integers or features of the invention that are descr bed as preferable, advantageous, conven..ient or the like are optional and do not limit the scope of the independent claims.
