超声波燃气表流道数值模拟与实验研究

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Ultrasonic Gas Meter Flow Channel

  • 摘要: 声传输区域内流速分布不均匀使得超声波信号传播路径畸变,进而影响超声波燃气表精度。为了解决复杂环境下,测量管道内流速不均匀造成的流量测量精度不高,本文对超声波燃气表矩形流道结构进行设计。结合SpaceClaim软件设计出内部装有三块整流片的矩形流道结构,使用Fluent软件对所设计的矩形流道进行数值模拟。通过理论分析和数值模拟结果可知,该结构有效解决了管道内部流速分布不均匀与气体低速流动问题。最后,采用钟罩式气体流量检定装置完成对超声波燃气表的性能测试。经检定结果表明,由该流道组成的超声波燃气表样机在0.025 m3/h~4 m3/h的流量范围内,符合国家1.5级精度指标要求,验证了本文中矩形流道设计的有效性。

     

    Abstract: The uneven distribution of flow velocity in the sound transmission area distorts the ultrasonic signal propagation path, which in turn affects the accuracy of the ultrasonic gas meter. In order to solve the problem of low flow measurement accuracy caused by flow velocity disorder in the measurement pipeline in complex environments, a rectangular flow channel structure for an ultrasonic gas meter is designed in this paper. Combined with SpaceClaim software, a rectangular flow channel structure with three rectifiers was designed, and the designed rectangular flow channel was numerically simulated using Fluent software. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results, it can be seen that the structure effectively solves the problems of flow velocity distribution disorder and low gas flow in the pipeline. Finally, the performance test of the ultrasonic gas meter was completed using the bell type gas flow calibration device. According to the calibration results, the ultrasonic gas meter prototype composed of this flow channel meets the requirements of the national 1.5 accuracy index within the flow range of 0.025 m3/h~4 m3/h, which verifies the effectiveness of the rectangular flow channel design in this paper.
