How do outdoor flow meters prevent freezing?
Thread Content
For outdoor flow meters with very low flow rates, how can freezing be prevented?
Heating can be added; there are many methods for providing heating nowadays, and the most convenient one is electric heating fabric. If there is steam, steam tracing can also be used.
Wear cotton clothes, use a electric blanket, and keep warm. Our flowmeters and transmitters are kept insulated throughout the year. Ensure his zero offset.
It depends on what medium is being used; if the freezing point is lower than the lowest ambient temperature in your area, heating is definitely necessary.
Our company’s outdoor flow meters are insulated in the following ways: constant-temperature hot water, insulation pipes, 85-degree electric heating tubes (wound around), and steam insulation. .
At temperatures below minus 40 degrees, anti-freezing is mainly achieved through steam heating; electric heating is not very effective. However, it also depends on the actual temperature conditions. Another common approach is to use meter boxes with insulation measures
All of our liquid hydrocarbon flowmeters require heating: L
