I. Introduction to Xiamen Jingchuan Co., Ltd. JCVF Vortex Flow Meter:

The JCVF vortex flow meter is a volumetric flow meter based on the Karman vortex principle, used to measure the volume flow, standard condition volume flow, or mass flow of gases, steam, or liquids. It can also serve as a flow transmitter in automated control systems. This instrument employs advanced differential technology, combined with isolation and filtering measures, overcoming issues such as poor shock resistance and small signal data disorder common in similar products. It also utilizes unique sensor encapsulation technology and protective measures to ensure product reliability. The product comes in two types: basic and composite. The basic type measures a single flow signal, while the composite type can simultaneously measure temperature, pressure, and flow. Each type is available in integrated and split structures to accommodate different installation environments.

II. Working Principle of Xiamen Jingchuan Co., Ltd. JCVF Vortex Flow Meter:               

The vortex flow meter consists of a vortex generator designed in the flow field, a detection probe, and corresponding electronic circuits. When fluid flows past the vortex generator, alternating rows of vortices form on both sides, known as Karman vortex streets. Based on the Karman vortex street theory, Strouhal further proposed that the frequency of the Karman vortex street is proportional to the fluid velocity and provided the relationship: f

= St × V/d   Where:  

f Vortex shedding frequency (Hz)

V Average flow velocity on both sides of the vortex generator (m/s)

St Strouhal coefficient (constant)                                            

These alternating vortices create a series of alternating negative pressures that act on the detection probe, generating a series of alternating electrical signals. After conversion, shaping, and amplification by the preamplifier, a pulse frequency signal (or standard signal) proportional to the vortex synchronization is output.
