The function of vortex flowmeters is based on the principle of the Karman vortex street: Opposing vortices form behind an object in a stream. The measuring tube contains a bluff body, behind which vortex shedding occurs. The frequency of the vortex shedding is proportional to the flow rate. The shedded vortices are picked up and counted as pressure surges by a piezo crystal in the sensor.

Vortex flowmeters are suitable for a wide range of media. This is particularly true of the KROHNE OPTISWIRL: It measures both conducting and non-conducting liquids as well as all industrial gases.

It also measures saturated steam and superheated steam, compressed air and nitrogen, liquefied gas and flue gas, demineralized water and boiler feed water, solvents and heat transfer oil.

The KROHNE OPTISWIRL even masters fluctuating pressures and temperatures thanks to integrated pressure and temperature compensation.

The collection of the volume flow and the process data at only one point ensures accurate density compansation and combines high system accuracy with low investment costs. Internal gross and net heat calculation complete the device to be a reliable partner for advanced energy management.

Highest reliability and lowest probability of failure: The new OPTISWIRL 4200 was designed for safety related applications right from the start. Both its hardware and its software are developed to meet the strict requirements of SIL 2 safety functions: On demand as well as continuously!
