The Model 200 Multijet Flow Meter features a radial vaned impeller,
mounted on a vertical spindle, within a uniquely designed cylindrical
measuring chamber. This measuring chamber is sealed in position,
within a vertically compartmentalized meter housing.
Fluid entering the
meter passes through the lower compartment
of the external housing, entering into
the measuring chamber through several
tangential orifices, located around the
lower circumference of the cylinder.
The flowing water
impacts on the impeller blades causing
them to rotate. This flow path causes
the water level to rise within the radial
chambers of the rotating impeller and
exit the measuring chamber through another
series of tangential orifices, located
in the upper (discharge) compartment
of the external meter housing. Meanwhile,
the rotating impeller is magnetically
coupled to the mechanical register, hermetically
isolated in a stainless steel seal cup,
on top of the meter. |
