Can electromagnetic flow meter work for steam condensate or any other bubbling liquid at high temperature?
The E.M. Flow meter works on the principle of generating electromotive force in all elements of the conductor. Here the conducting elements are liquid elements. Whenever bubbling occurs the chain of conducting elements from one electrode to other breaks and the voltage generated is having the discontinuity at various points in the chain.This prevents the transmitter to read the flow rate accurately. The solution to make the transmitter work under such situations is to avoid bubbling of liquid while passing through the primary flow sensor. Thus the flow meter can work for steam condensate at high temperature if the bubbling can be avoided. There are several techniques to avoid bubbling due to high temperature.
