11.4. Comparison between volume flow rate measurement deduced from velocity data (VEL) and using contraction elements (CON)
ASPECT CON VEL
1/ Intrusiveness “ – ”
Introduces considerable
losses ⇒ the operating
state may be modified ⇔ to
be included already in the
system design state
“ + ”
Negligible intrusiveness
(wall bores)
Dr. János VAD: Flow measurements
2/ Following temporal
changes in the operational
state
“ + ”
Follows unsteady flow rate
continuously
“ – ”
Does not follow (surface
integration)
(⇔ correction..?)
3/ Requirements “ – ”
Strict (manufacturing,
installation, system is to be
stopped…)
“ + ”
Moderate (no requirements,
only recommendations,
system may run
continuously…)
4/ Expenses “ – ”
High (manufacturing,
installation, operation:
losses to be covered)
“ + ”
Moderate
5/ Accuracy “ + ”
High (limited uncertainty,
guaranteed by the standard)
Legally defensible!
“ – ”
Moderate (limits of
uncertainty are not
guaranteed)
Legally assailable!
Dr. János VAD: Flow measurements
CON: high-precision, continuous, legally defensible measurements(e.g. accounting, process control, etc.)VEL: occasional (case study) measurements, brief estimation(e.g. fault diagnostics)
