What is paddle wheel flow meter?
The paddle wheel flow meter operates by utilizing fluid impact on the rotating internal impeller to convert instantaneous and cumulative flow rates through rotational speed conversion, belonging to the velocity-type flowmeter category. Characterized by a simple structure and high cost-effectiveness, it is widely employed for measuring clear water, pure water, and ambient-temperature clean liquids, and can output pulse signals for convenient data acquisition.
The Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is a highly efficient and reliable device used to measure the flow rate of liquids in various applications. Its working principle is based on the rotation of a paddle wheel placed perpendicular to the flow of the liquid. As the liquid flows through the pipe, it causes the paddle wheel to rotate. The speed of this rotation is directly proportional to the velocity of the liquid.
Inside the flow meter, sensors detect the rotational speed of the paddle wheel and convert this data into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed to determine the flow rate, which can be displayed on a digital readout or transmitted to a control system for further analysis. The Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is known for its accuracy, ease of installation, and low maintenance requirements. It is widely used in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
With its robust design and reliable performance, the Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is an excellent choice for monitoring and controlling liquid flow in a variety of settings. Trust in its precision and durability to ensure optimal operation in your applications.
It offers excellent cost-effectiveness with low manufacturing costs, featuring a simple structure and minimal components. Its production and procurement prices are significantly lower than those of electromagnetic or ultrasonic flow meters, making it particularly advantageous for large-scale applications in small-diameter pure water projects.
The demonstrates excellent measurement accuracy and high repeatability. It provides stable measurement performance in pure single-phase liquids, delivers well-defined pulse output signals, and is ideal for precise cumulative measurement applications in scenarios involving pure water or softened water.
Compact size with easy installation; lightweight design featuring multiple thread/fittings options, minimal space occupation in pipelines, and simple on-site assembly/disassembly/maintenance.
The signal can be easily digitized for acquisition, outputting either pulse signals or RS485 communication signals for direct integration with PLCs, industrial control systems, and cloud-based remote monitoring, fully meeting the intelligent data upload requirements of water treatment equipment.
The exhibits moderate pressure loss and low energy consumption, with minimal resistance loss that has little impact on pure water circulation pump loads. Long-term operation does not significantly increase power consumption.
Suitable for various clean media at room temperature: besides pure water and ultrapure water, it can also measure low-viscosity clean oils such as alcohol, ethylene glycol, diesel, and organic solvents, demonstrating good versatility.
Simple maintenance: Only regular cleaning of the pre-filter is required, with no complex calibration process; it offers long service life under non-wearing conditions.
