Can flow control orifice plates be used to achieve precise distribution from the main pipe to the branch pipes?·
Thread Content
I’m seeking advice from experts: the flow rate in the main pipe is around 300 ml/min, and both the main pipe and its branches have a diameter of DN10. Now, 1/3 and 2/3 of this flow are directed to different reactors. Can flow control be achieved using flow-limiting orifice plates?
A flow-limiting orifice plate can be used to control the shunt flow. A flow-limiting orifice plate can adjust the flow rate by changing the size of the orifice, thereby enabling precise flow control. In your case, the flow rate in the main pipeline is 300 ml/min, and it is necessary to divide this flow into 1/3 and 2/3 portions to be sent to different reactors; this distribution can be achieved by using appropriate pore sizes. However, it is necessary to ensure that the orifice plate is designed and installed correctly, and to conduct actual flow tests to verify whether the diversion ratio is accurate. .
