Ekulinganisweni kokugeleza kwezimboni, lapho ukunemba, ukuthembeka, kanye nokuhambisana noketshezi oluyinselele kungaxoxiswana ngakho, ama-flowmeter egiya avelele njengesixazululo esithembekile. Ngokungafani nama-flowmeter e-ultrasonic noma e-electromagnetic ahamba phambili kwimidiya eqhubayo noma engavimbi, ama-flowmeter egiya aklanywe ukuze achume ekusetshenzisweni okubandakanya uketshezi oluvimbi—kusukela kumafutha okugcoba kanye noketshezi lwe-hydraulic kuya kuma-syrups, upende, kanye nezithasiselo zamakhemikhali. Ukwakheka kwawo okuhle kokuthutha kuqinisekisa ukulinganiswa okulinganayo, okunembile kakhulu ngisho nangamazinga aphansi okugeleza, okwenza kube yinto ebalulekile ezimbonini ezisukela ekukhiqizeni izimoto kuya ekucubungulweni kokudla.
Isisekelo sokusebenza kwegiya lokugeleza kwamanzi yisimiso sayo sokufuduka (PD), indlela elula kodwa ephumelelayo ebala ngqo ivolumu yoketshezi. Ingaphakathi legiya liqukethe amagiya amabili noma ngaphezulu axhumene (avame ukwenziwa ngensimbi engagqwali, i-PTFE, noma ipulasitiki eqinile) agcinwe ekamelweni elenziwe ngomshini oqondile. Njengoba uketshezi lungena ekamelweni, lugcwalisa izikhala phakathi kwamazinyo egiya, okuphoqa amagiya ukuthi ajikeleze. Ukujikeleza ngakunye kwamagiya kususa ivolumu yoketshezi eqondile, eyaziwayo—ebizwa ngokuthi “i-meter factor”—ebe isidluliselwa ku-sensor (eyenziwe ngomshini noma nge-elekthronikhi) eguqula ukunyakaza kokujikeleza kube isignali elinganiswayo. Lesi signali sicutshungulwa ukuze kubalwe ivolumu iyonke noma izinga lokugeleza okusheshayo koketshezi, ngokuthembela okuncane ezintweni zangaphandle ezifana nokuqhuba koketshezi noma iphrofayili yokugeleza.
Enye yezinzuzo eziphawuleka kakhulu zama-gear flowmeters ukunemba kwawo okungavamile, ngisho nasezinhlelweni eziqinile neziphansi. Ama-gear flowmeter amaningi ebanga lezimboni afinyelela ukunemba okungu-±0.1% kuya ku-±0.5% wenani elilinganisiwe, enza kahle kakhulu kunezinye izinhlobo eziningi zama-flowmeter ezimweni lapho ukunemba kubalulekile khona. Isibonelo, emigqeni yokuhlanganisa izimoto, ama-gear flowmeters asetshenziselwa ukukala inani eliqondile lamafutha okugcoba afakwe ezingxenyeni zenjini—uwoyela omncane kakhulu ubeka engcupheni yokuguguleka kusenesikhathi, kuyilapho uwoyela omningi kakhulu uchitha izinsiza futhi ungabangela ukushisa ngokweqile. Ikhono le-meter lokugcina ukunemba ebangeni elibanzi le-viscosity (kusukela ku-1 cP kuya ku-1,000,000 cP noma ngaphezulu) lenza kube kuhle kakhulu emisebenzini enjalo, njengoba izinguquko ze-viscosity zinomthelela omncane ekushintsheni okuhleliwe kwamagiya.
Enye inzuzo ebalulekile ukwakheka kwawo okuqinile kanye nezidingo zokunakekelwa eziphansi. Amagiya axhumene kanye negumbi lakhiwe ngezinto eziqinile ezimelana nokugqwala, ukuguguleka, kanye nomonakalo wamakhemikhali—okubalulekile ekuphatheni uketshezi olunamandla njengezinyibilikisi zezimboni noma amasiraphu asezingeni lokudla. Ngokungafani nama-flowmeter e-turbine, anezingxenye ezithambile ezihambayo ezivame ukuguga, ama-flowmeter egiya anesakhiwo esilula, esincane esinezingxenye ezimbalwa ezingase zingasebenzi. Lokhu kuqina kuhumusha impilo yesevisi ende (ngokuvamile iminyaka emi-5-10 ngokusetshenziswa okufanele) kanye nesikhathi esincishisiwe sokungasebenzi sokulungiswa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-flowmeter amaningi egiya lanamuhla anemiklamo engenasivalo noma ama-coupling amagnetic, asusa ingozi yokuvuza koketshezi—inzuzo ebalulekile yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihilela uketshezi olunobuthi noma olunenani eliphezulu.
Ama-gear flowmeter nawo ahamba phambili ekusebenzisaneni okuhlukahlukene kuzo zonke izimboni, avumelana nezinhlobo ezahlukene zoketshezi kanye nezimo zokusebenza. Emkhakheni wokudla neziphuzo, asetshenziselwa ukukala ukuhamba kwezithako eziqinile njengoshokoledi, uju, noma utamatisi, ngezinto ezisezingeni lokudla (njengensimbi engagqwali engu-316L kanye nama-elastomer avunyelwe yi-FDA) okuqinisekisa ukuhambisana nezindinganiso zokuphepha. Embonini kawoyela negesi, aqapha ukuhamba koketshezi oluyi-hydraulic emishinini yokubhoboza kanye nama-lubricant kuma-compressor epayipi, lapho ukumelana kwawo nokucindezela okuphezulu (kufika ku-10,000 psi noma ngaphezulu) kanye namazinga okushisa (kusukela ku--40°C kuya ku-200°C) kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngisho nasembonini yezemithi, ama-gear flowmeter adlala indima ekulinganisweni okunembile kwemithi eqine kanye nezithasiselo, lapho ukunemba kanye nokungabi namagciwane kubaluleke kakhulu.
Ukuhlanganiswa nezinhlelo zokulawula zezimboni kungenye indlela enamandla yama-flowmeter egiya lanamuhla. Amamodeli amaningi ahlonyiswe ngemiphumela yedijithali (njenge-RS485/Modbus, i-HART, noma amasignali e-pulse) noma imiphumela ye-analog (4–20mA), okuvumela ukuxhumana okungenamthungo ezinhlelweni ze-SCADA, ama-data logger, noma ama-PLC. Lokhu kwenza kube lula ukuqapha amazinga okugeleza ngesikhathi sangempela, ukulinganiswa okukude, kanye nokulawula okuzenzakalelayo kwezinqubo—isibonelo, ukulungisa ukugeleza kopende esitshalweni sokukhiqiza ukuqinisekisa ukujiya kokugqoka okuhambisanayo. Amanye amamodeli athuthukile afaka nezici zokuxilonga, njengokutholwa kokuguguleka kwegiya noma izexwayiso zokungcola koketshezi, ezisiza opharetha ukuthi babhekane nezinkinga ngaphambi kokuba ziholele ekuhlulekeni okubizayo.
Naphezu kwezinzuzo zazo eziningi, ama-flowmeter egiya awasebenzi kuwo wonke umuntu. Awafaneleki kangako uketshezi oluqukethe izinhlayiya ezinkulu (ezingavimba amagiya) noma uketshezi olushintshashintshayo kakhulu (okungabangela ukucasuka). Kodwa-ke, koketshezi oluningi oluqinile, oluhlanzekile, noma olungcoliswe kancane, luhlala luyisinqumo esibalulekile. Amandla azo okuhlanganisa ukunemba okuphezulu, ukuqina, kanye nokuguquguquka kuzenza zibe yitshe lesisekelo lokulinganisa ukugeleza kwezimboni, ukusekela ukusebenza kahle, ukonga izindleko, kanye nokuhambisana nazo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi.
Ngamafuphi, ama-flowmeter egiya awawona nje amathuluzi okulinganisa—ayizingxenye ezibalulekile eziqinisekisa ukunemba nokuthembeka ezimbonini lapho ukulawulwa koketshezi kuthinta khona ngqo ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo kanye nokuphepha kokusebenza. Njengoba ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka, ukwakheka kwawo kuyaqhubeka nokukhula, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezinto zokwakha, ubuchwepheshe bezinzwa, kanye nokuxhumana okuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwawo. Kumabhizinisi afuna ikhambi lokulinganisa ukugeleza elingaphatha uketshezi oluqinile kanye nezimo zokugeleza okuphansi ngokunemba okungenakuqhathaniswa, i-flowmeter yegiya isalokhu iyindlela engenakwehlulwa.
