Application of Electromagnetic Flow Meters in Heat Exchange Station Automation Systems

A city centralized heating system consists of four main parts: heat sources, heating networks, heat exchange stations, and various forms of heat users. This system supplies effective heat through centralized heat sources, using hot water or steam as the transmission medium via heating networks, meeting the heating demands of an entire region or city, including

Averaging Pitot Tube (APT) Flow Meter — Installation Essentials (Part 1)

0) Summary (for busy engineers) Common symptoms in large‑bore steam service: zero drifting, negative oscillation, large bias. Root causes: poor straight‑run, wrong cross‑section position, two‑phase effects, impulse/condensate handling, orientation error. With correct siting, impulse design, and anti‑interference measures, ±2.5% is achievable in real plants. 1) Straight‑Run Requirements Goal: let the velocity profile re‑develop into a
