The inline GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter is the next generation vortex meter.
The multivariable design of the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter consists of a
vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure transducer that
measures the mass flow rate of steam, gases, and liquids.
Other meter types use external process measurements to calculate mass flow. The temperature and
pressure devices are typically not installed in the same location as the flow meter. Process conditions can
vary greatly between the two locations, causing inaccurate mass flow readings. The GE Panametrics
PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter measures velocity, temperature and pressure at the same
location, which provides more accurate process measurement.
Integrating pressure and temperature into the vortex flow meter simplifies system complexity and helps
minimize initial capital costs, as well as reduce the installation costs. There is no need to purchase additional
instrumentation to monitor pressure and temperature since the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80
vortex flow meter will output all parameters to your data acquisition system. The product line is available
with a wide range of options and meter configurations to meet your specific application requirements.
Models of the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 Vortex Flow Meter
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter is available in a number of configurations to
best suit your application measurement needs.
- PanaFlow™ MV80-VTP
-
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80-VTP vortex flow meter offers flow computer functionality
in a compact field device. This multivariable instrument incorporates temperature and pressure sensors
to provide an instantaneous reading of compensated mass flow rate of gases, liquids and steam. In
addition to outputs for totalized mass and alarm settings, the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™
MV80-VTP vortex flow meter's field configurable electronics deliver up to three analog 4-20 mA outputs
of five process measurements, including volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, pressure temperature
and density.
- PanaFlow™ MV80-VT
-
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80-VT vortex flow meter integrates a precision 1000 ohm
platinum RTD temperature sensor used to calculate and output a compensated mass flow reading.
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80-VT vortex flow meter is typically used to measure flow
rates of saturated steam.
- PanaFlow™ MV80-V
-
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80-V vortex flow meter delivers a direct reading of volumetric
flow rate - generally the most cost-effective solution for liquid flow monitoring - in applications ranging
from general water flows to hydrocarbon fuel flow measurement.
- PanaFlow™ MV80-EM
-
The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80-EM vortex flow meter's energy monitoring option enables
real time-of-flight diffraction calculation of energy consumption for a facility or process. The meter can
be programmed to measure steam, hot water or chilled water. This option uses the GE Panametrics
PanaFlow™ MV80-EM vortex flow meter to monitor one side of the process, either sent or return,
and uses the input from a second separate temperature sensor on the opposite leg of the process to
calculate the change in energy. Selectable energy units include BTU, joules, calories, Watt-hours,
Megawatt-hours and Horsepower-hours. The local or remote electronics indicate two temperatures,
delta T, mass total and energy total.
