An Air Flow Meter is the flow meter that measures industrial air velocity. Most of the time, people talk about air flow meters means compressed air flow meters. We are discussing here all air flow meters, including compressed air flow meters.
Compressed Air Flow Meter, is the digital flow meter work for the air compressor. Air consumption is important info for industrial inline gas flow pipes. According to the measurement conditions, a compressed air flow meter could be of different types. Thermal mass flow meters, Ultrasonic flow meters, vortex flow meters, Turbine flow meters. And the differential pressure flow meters (Orifice plate ) are also suitable for compressed air. With the Pressure and Temperature compensation. Sino-Inst’s compressed air flow meters are more affordable and complete.
The Carmen vortex refers to the placement of a cylindrical or triangular object in the fluid. Two rows of vortices with opposite rotation directions will be generated downstream of this object.
An ultrasonic transmitting probe and a receiving probe are oppositely installed on both sides of the downstream pipeline of the Carmen vortex generator. Due to the influence of the Carmen vortex on the air density, the time from the transmitting probe to the receiving probe of the ultrasonic wave becomes later than that of the non-vortex and a phase difference occurs. By processing this phase signal, a vortex pulse signal can be obtained.
The working principle of the hot film type air flow meter is similar to that of the hot wire type air flow meter, and they all work with Wheatstone bridge. The difference is that the hot film type does not use platinum wire as a hot wire. But uses a thick film process to make the hot wire resistance, compensation resistance, and bridge resistance on the same ceramic substrate.
In the process of generating the Carmen vortex, the air pressure on both sides of the vortex generator will change. The pressure acts on the metal foil through the pilot hole, causing it to vibrate. When light from a light-emitting diode strikes a vibrating metal foil. The reflected light on the metal foil received by the phototransistor is vortex-modulated light. And its output is demodulated to obtain a frequency signal representing the air flow.
When no air flows, the bridge is in equilibrium. The control circuit outputs a certain heating current to the hot wire resistance RH. When there is air flowing, the heat of RH is absorbed by the air and becomes cold. Its resistance value changes. The bridge loses Balance. If the temperature difference between the hot wire resistance and the intake air is kept constant and constant, the current IH flowing through the hot wire resistance must be increased. Therefore, the hot-wire current IH is a function of the mass air flow.
The vane type air flow meter has a simple structure and high reliability. Yet, it has a large volume, large intake resistance and slow response.
CFM is a common imperial flow unit, cubic feet per minute. For a certain volume of air flow passing in a unit time, m3/h air volume unit is generally used in China. Other countries also use the British air volume unit cfm (cubic foot per minute). That is ft3/min cubic feet/minute, 1CFM=28.316846592 L/MIN=0.028316847 m3/min
CFM traffic is divided into SCFM and ACFM.
Inline air flow meter scfm
SCFM English standard cubic foot per minute means standard cubic foot per minute, British flow unit. Both ACFM & SCFM are units of measurement for English flow ACFM=actual flow rate ft^3/min
