Dual Frequency Excitation Method

Dual Frequency Excitation Method

By combining the signals obtained by low frequency excitation and high frequency excitation, it is our unique revolutionary excitation method that has succeeded in covering each defect and extracting only the superiority.
It combines the advantages of low frequency excitation zero points stability, high frequency excitation noise resistance and high speed response.

 

Both noise resistance and zero points stability

Both noise resistance and zero point stability

The flow noise that appears when measuring slurry fluid or low conductivity fluid has "1/f characteristics".
In other words, low frequency components tend to be noisy, while high frequency components tend to be less noisy. Therefore, high frequency excitation is effective to ensure noise resistance. However, in conventional high frequency excitation, there was a problem that "zero points become unstable".

In "Dual Frequency Excitation Method", sampling is performed in the area not affected by noise on the high frequency side, and stable zero points components are extracted with a large time constant on the low frequency side. Therefore, the synthesized signal has a very small effect of noise and stable zero points.

 

“0.1 seconds” fast response

In order to realize the stability of the zero points while reducing the influence of noise, the time constant is generally increased.
But that would hurt responsiveness.
The solution is "Dual Frequency Excitation Method" how to simultaneously meet the effects of noise reduction, zero points stability and response.
In “Dual Frequency Excitation Method”, high-speed response of “0.1 seconds” is possible because the change in flow rate is detected on the high frequency side.

 

Display and output of Flow Noise Intensity

Conventional models have removed flow noise signals using our proprietary signal processing technology "Dual Frequency Excitation Method".
On the other hand, understanding the fluid noise signal is also useful for identifying the cause of occurrence and preventing it.

With ADMAG AXG, the intensity of flow noise can be displayed and output separately from flow signal output. As a result, while realizing stable flow rate measurement, it has become possible to grasp at what intensity fluid noise is generated.

This makes it possible to monitor conditions such as air bubble / slurry contamination, lining wear, and liquid replacement (chemical injection, cleaning) that are the causes of flow noise.

Flow Noise Diagnosis Function

Flow Noise Diagnosis Function

With "Dual Frequency Excitation Method", our proprietary signal processing technology, the flow noise signal that has been removed in the conventional model is actively taken in ADMAG AXG, and while maintaining a stable output of the flow signal, the magnitude of the generated flow noise is it can be output (It can also be assigned to 4-20 mA output).

In addition to flow noise caused by air bubbles and slurry, it also contributes to the estimation of conductivity changes due to chemical injection and liquid replacement, lining wear, and the occurrence of uneven flow.

 

Electrode Adhesion Detection

Electrode Adhesion Detection

Preventing electrode adhesion in advance is one point of stable flow rate measurement. With ADMAG AXG, the degree of adhesion can be displayed in 4 levels.
In addition, the degree of adhesion in the detector can be grasped while installed in piping, which contributes to the reduction of inspection man-hours.

 

Low Conductivity Diagnosis

Low Conductivity Diagnosis

The maintenance of conductivity, in particular to prevent significant drops, is one point of stable flow measurement.
In ADMAG AXG, monitoring changes in conductivity and catching signs of a significant drop will contribute to early action.

 

Sensor Empty Check

The electromagnetic flowmeter can not perform accurate measurement if the inside of the detector is empty (non-full).
In ADMAG AXG, by constantly monitoring the condition in the piping, it contributes to the realization of continuous and stable flow measurement.

 

Electrode Insulation Deterioration Diagnosis

The fluid that the electromagnetic flowmeter can measure is a fluid that has conductivity.
In the case of highly corrosive fluid, it may penetrate from the gap between the electrode and the lining, etc. and degrade the insulation resistance.
If corrosion of the insulation resistance progresses, the electrode and the ground may be shorted, which may cause measurement to be impossible.
In ADMAG AXG, monitoring the insulation state of the electrode and catching the sign of short circuit contribute to the early measures.
