Krohne's Optiswirl is a range of vortex flowmeters with integrated pressure and temperature compensation. The 4070C model reliably measures operating, normal volumetric and mass flow of conductive and non-conductive liquids, gases and vapours even in the case of fluctuating pressures and temperatures. Optiswirl features the intelligent signal processing (ISP) technology developed by Krohne. This intelligent signal analysis ensures an exact interpretation of measured values from which external perturbations have been eliminated.
ISP works on the basis of a filter that allows the user to track the actual signal only. The filter system first analyses the measurement signal and then finds the vortex signal in the entire spectrum. Optiswirl filters out all other frequencies. This means that the user obtains a precise and stable measurement that can be relied on.
This range is robust, reliable and maintenance-free. There is no risk of deposits or damage to the bluff body due to its non-wearing stainless steel design. In addition, the design is resistant to pressure, temperature and corrosion. With its plug-and-play feature, the vortex meter is ready for immediate operation by the user, helped by a simple operating concept with an intuitive human machine interface. The customary Krohne modular concept means that the electronics can be easily replaced and PACTware software package comes as standard.
The main areas of application for Optiswirl are the chemical, metal, oil and gas, paper and water sectors. However, this range can also be used for SIP and CIP processes in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Typical applications are also steam boiler monitoring, control of compressor output or consumption measurement of burners and in compressed air systems.
