Introduction

FloCleanTM

2

The FloClean Sanitary turbine flow meter was developed for use in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The 316L stainless steel construction provides a durable and cost efficient flow measurement system that offers excellent accuracy and repeatability.

The FloClean utilizes the most up-to-date polishing technology on all internal components and all materials comply with FDA requirements. FloClean meets the requirements of 3-A Sanitary Standard number 28-03 for use in clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitize-in-place (SIP) environments, as well as clean-out-of-place (COP) and sanitize-out-of-place (SOP) applications.

The FloClean output signal is a sine-wave that is proportional to volumetric flow. With optional Blancett electronics, FloClean provides local flow rate and volume totalization and will interface with most displays, PLCs and computers.

Operating PrincipleFluid entering the meter first passes through an inlet flow straightener thatreduces its turbulent flow pattern. Fluid then passes through the turbine,causing the turbine to rotate at a speed proportional to fluid velocity. As eachturbine blade passes through the magnetic field generated by the meter’smagnetic pick-up, an AC voltage pulse is generated. These pulses providean output frequency that is proportional to volumetric flow.

K-FactorThe K-Factor represents the number of output pulsestransmitted per gallon of fluid passing through the turbine meter. Each turbine has a unique K-Factor. However, turbine meters are not functionally consistent throughout the full flow range of the meter.

There are several forms of “friction” inherent in turbine meters that retard the rotational movement of the turbine rotor. These frictional forces include: magnetic drag, created by electromagnetic force of pick-up transducers; mechanical drag, due to bearing friction; and viscous drag,produced by flowing fluid. See charts below.

As flow increases, the frictional forces are minimized andthe free-wheeling motion of the turbine rotor becomesmore linear (proportional to flow). The K-Factor becomesrelatively constant and linear throughout the balance of thelinear flow range. This is approximately a 10:1 turndownratio from the maximum flow rate down to the minimumflow rate.
