Fluid meter
A fluid flow meter with configuration of flow generation and flow sensor is intended for measuring a flow rate of working fluid (a gas or a liquid) passing through an inner cavity. The meter is a compact measuring apparatus of a small size, resistant to disturbances and distortions in the structure of the measured fluid flow. The fluid flow meter with configuration of flow generation and flow sensor is comprised of the following components: a housing (1) having an inner chamber (2) and a depression (3) configured to generate the flow; a flow sensor (4) arranged inside the housing (1) of the gas meter for measuring the flow velocity of the fluid; an adapter (5) to adjust different diameters of flow sensors and an outlet of the meter; a flow preparation device (6) intended for dissipating and stabilizing the flow of the fluid; an inlet (7) of the flow of the measured fluid; an outlet (8) for fluid flow out of the meter; an electronics unit (9); a coarse filter (10); a shut-off valve (11); a fluid leak detection sensor (12).
RETAINING DEVICE FOR AN ANEMOMETER, AND CENTRIFUGAL FAN
The disclosure relates to a retaining device for an anemometer, designed for use on a fan housing of a fan, wherein the retaining device is designed as a flow conditioner having a plurality of axial flow channels divided into a honeycomb structure by an arrangement of bars, and wherein the retaining device has retaining means, by means of which the anemometer can be fastened to the retaining device such that the former axially adjoins the flow channels.
PROBE-BASED CIRCUMFERENTIAL TRAVERSING SYSTEM
A traverse mechanism for measuring flow characteristics in a fluid flow path is provided. The traverse mechanism includes a rotating member configured to rotate 360 degrees about an axis in a circumferential direction. The traverse mechanism also includes a probe coupled to the rotating member. The probe extends in a radial direction relative to the axis through a portion the rotating member into the fluid flow path. Rotation of the rotating member enables the probe to map or measure one or more flow characteristic in the fluid flow path 360 degrees about the axis in the circumferential direction.
