Benefits of Vortex Flow Meters

• The vortex flow meter features a simple structure with no moving parts, ensuring reliable performance and an extended service lifespan.
• These flow meters provide a wide measurement range, with a turndown ratio typically reaching 1:10.
• The volumetric flow rate is unaffected by thermal parameters including temperature, pressure, density, or viscosity of the fluid being measured.
• They can effectively measure the flow of liquids, gases, or vapors, making them applicable in diverse scenarios.
• They incur minimal pressure loss during operation.
• Vortex flow meters boast high accuracy and require low maintenance.

Drawbacks of Vortex Flow Meters

• These flow meters exhibit poor anti-vibration performance; external vibrations can lead to measurement errors and potentially render them ineffective.
• High flow velocity shock can induce vibrations in the vortex body, compromising measurement accuracy.
• They cannot be used for measuring dirty media.
• Installation requires precise alignment with high standards for straight piping.
• Not advisable for measuring fluids with low Reynolds numbers.
• They have a lower meter factor compared to turbine flow meters.
• Vortex flow meters are unsuitable for measuring pulsating flows.

The STLU series vortex flow sensor utilizes Karman vortex principles and incorporates a stress detection method using piezoelectric crystals as a sensitive element, with the detecting component separated from the vortex generator. This sensor is widely applicable in process measurement and energy management across various industries, including petrochemical, metallurgical machinery, heating, power supply, and medical research. Below, the advantages and disadvantages of vortex shedding flow meters are discussed further.

Benefits of a Vortex Flow Meter with DSP

Flow meters are essential instruments for measuring fluid flow rates in systems, such as water flowing through pipes. Their common applications span across water utility companies, landscapers, industrial settings, and manufacturing facilities. Among the various types of flow meters, vortex flow meters stand out for their accuracy, reliability, and potential cost savings.

Quick Water Leak Detection

With a DSP vortex flow meter, leaks can be identified rapidly. In contrast, traditional mechanical flow meters may fail to detect water leaks for years as low-end performance deteriorates with bearing wear.

High Measurement Accuracy

The technology used in DSP vortex flow meters enables readings as low as 0.5 GPM (gallons per minute) and achieves a turndown ratio greater than 50. This accuracy surpasses that of mechanical flow meters, like rotameters, which can suffer calibration changes over time due to rotating parts.

Reduction in Water Bills

Water leaks increase water bills significantly. By incorporating a vortex flow meter into your system, you will receive real-time alerts to leaks and clogs, ultimately saving money and preserving water resources. Additionally, these meters allow for monitoring of water usage, enabling users to conserve more.

Durability Over Time

Traditional flow meters can lose accuracy and range due to wear and tear. However, vortex flow meters maintain calibration without having any rotating parts or bearings, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Cost-Effective Solution

Our vortex flow meters do not need calibration, making them a more affordable option. The absence of calibration tools not only reduces initial expenses but also diminishes labor costs associated with maintenance.

Low Pressure Drop (Low Energy Loss)

These meters exhibit lower pressure drops than paddle or PD meters, resulting in reduced energy loss within the system and providing more pressure for applications such as sprinkling.

Lead-Free Construction

Lead exposure can lead to various health issues, including high blood pressure and reduced fertility. Our vortex flow meters are constructed from ABS plastic, EPDM rubber, and stainless steel (in select models) to ensure safety for users.

Flexible Mounting Options

Vortex flow meters can be mounted in any orientation as long as the pipe remains full at all times, providing versatility during installation and operation.

No Need for Removal During System Blowouts

Unlike many competing flow meters, our vortex flow meter operates unaffected by system blowouts, eliminating the need for removal during maintenance tasks and simplifying the overall process.

Maximize Savings with Digital Flow Meters

No other technology or meter provides the same level of water, cost, and time-saving advantages as our patented vortex flow meter with DSP (Digital Signal Processing). Everydrop Technologies is committed to minimizing water waste by detecting leaks and enabling conservation through affordable metering solutions. Our innovative sensor design has led to the installation of thousands of meters in residential systems, resulting in significant water savings.
