Application of Coriolis Mass Flow Meter for LNG Filling Energy Metering.
With the world's attention to the environment, new energy projects have blossomed everywhere, and LNG, a recognized clean energy, has replaced traditional energy sources in many occasions. The global demand for LNG has also risen significantly, whether it is the import and export of LNG between countries, or the distribution from the LNG receiving station to the user, or the ship-to-ship bunkering, all of which are inseparable from the metering.
A Coriolis mass flowmeter is a flow meter that measures mass flow by using the Coriolis effect, which is the deflection of a particle in a rotational coordinate system under the action of rotational forces. This flow meter is suitable for flow measurement of a wide range of liquids and gases, including fueling energy metering of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
In the LNG filling process, the Coriolis flowmeter has the following advantages and application characteristics:
Mass Flow Measurement:Coriolis flow meters are mass flow meters that measure the mass flow directly through a pipe regardless of fluid density. Mass flow measurement is even more important in LNG applications because the density of LNG varies with temperature and pressure.
High precision:Coriolis flow meters typically have a high degree of accuracy and are critical for LNG fill energy metering. The imported Coriolis mass flow meter of Vton of the United States has an accuracy of 01%, high-precision measurement can ensure the accurate measurement of quality in the filling process, improve the efficiency and reliability of the filling system.
High Stability:Coriolis flowmeters have a small response to changes in the physical properties of the fluid (e.g., temperature, pressure), so they can maintain high stability under different working conditions of LNG filling.
Multi-parameter measurements:In addition to mass flow, Coriolis flow meters can also provide measurements of other parameters such as temperature and density. These parameters are important for both LNG filling, energy metering, and system control.
Adaptation to low temperature environment:LNG is in an extremely low temperature environment, the imported Coriolis mass flow meter of Vton can use materials and technologies suitable for low temperature conditions to ensure that it can still work reliably in extreme temperatures, and can be used for -196 cryogenic medium, LNG, liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen.
No fluid condition modification required:Coriolis flow meters typically require no special fluid condition modifications and are suitable for different fluid states, including liquid, gas, and two-phase flows.
