Electromagnetic flowmeter installation and common faults I. Introduction Electromagnetic flowmeter in the use of common failures, some because of the failure of the instrument itself caused by damage, and some due to improper use, improper installation, environmental conditions, fluid characteristics and other factors caused by the failure, such as display fluctuations, precision decline or even instrument damage . It can generally be divided into two types: failures during installation and commissioning (faults during commissioning) and failures during normal operations (operational failures). Second, debugging failure Debugging and expecting faults generally appear in the instrument installation and commissioning stage. Once they are eliminated, they will not appear again under the same conditions. Common debug-time faults are usually caused by improper installation, environmental interference, and fluid characteristics. 1) The installation is usually caused by the incorrect installation position of the electromagnetic flow sensor. Commonly, such as installing the sensor at the highest point of the pipe system that can easily accumulate gas, or installing it on the vertical pipe from top to bottom, the emptying may occur; Or there is no back pressure behind the sensor and the fluid is directly discharged into the atmosphere to form a non-full tube inside the measuring tube. 2) The environment is usually dominated by stray currents in the pipeline, strong electromagnetic interference in the space, and magnetic interference in large electrical machines. Pipeline stray current interference usually achieves satisfactory results with good individual ground protection, but in the case of strong stray currents (such as the electrolytic shop pipe, sometimes the peak potential of the AC potential induced at the two electrodes can be as high as 1V), Additional measures must be taken to insulate the flow sensor from the pipeline. Space electromagnetic interference is generally introduced via signal cables and is usually protected by single or multi-layer shielding. 3) Fluids The measured liquid contains evenly distributed microbubbles that usually do not affect the normal operation of the electromagnetic flowmeter. However, as the air bubbles increase, the output signal of the instrument fluctuates. If the bubbles are large enough to cover the entire surface of the electrode, As the bubble flows through the electrode, the electrode circuit will momentarily open and cause greater fluctuations in the output signal. Third, the operating period failure Run-time failure is a failure that occurs after the electromagnetic flowmeter has been commissioned and operated for a period of time. Common operational failures are caused by factors such as the adherence of the inner wall of the flow sensor, lightning strikes, and changes in environmental conditions. 1) Adhesion layer on the inner wall of the sensor Since electromagnetic fluid flow meters are commonly used to measure dirty fluids, after a certain period of operation, they often accumulate adhesive layers on the inner wall of the sensor and cause failures. These faults are often caused by too much or too little conductivity of the adhesion layer. If the attachment is an insulating layer, the electrode circuit will be open circuit, the meter can not work properly; if the adhesion layer conductivity is significantly higher than the fluid conductivity, the electrode circuit will appear short circuit, the instrument can not work properly. Therefore, the adhered scale layer in the measuring tube of the electromagnetic flowmeter should be promptly removed. 3) Changes in environmental conditions During commissioning, the meter is working properly because the environmental conditions are still good (for example, if there is no interference source), and it is often easy to neglect the installation conditions (for example, the grounding is not very good). In this case, once the environmental conditions change, new sources of interference occur during operation (such as welding on pipelines near the flowmeter, large transformers installed nearby, etc.), which will interfere with the normal operation of the meter, and the output of the flowmeter. The signal will fluctuate
Drying equipment is a crucial component in many industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing. These machines are designed to remove moisture from materials and products, which can help to increase their shelf life, improve their quality, and reduce their weight.
There are many different types of drying equipment available on the market today, each with its own unique set of features and benefits. Some of the most common types include air dryers, rotary dryers, fluidized bed dryers, and freeze dryers.
Air dryers are the simplest and most affordable type of drying equipment. They work by blowing hot air over the surface of the material or product being dried, which causes the moisture to evaporate. Rotary dryers are similar to air dryers, but they use a rotating drum to agitate the material and improve the drying process.
Fluidized bed dryers are a more advanced type of drying equipment that use a bed of hot air to suspend and dry the material being processed. This allows for faster and more efficient drying, as well as improved product quality.
Freeze dryers are a specialized type of drying equipment that are used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry. They work by freezing the material being dried and then removing the moisture through a process called sublimation.
Regardless of the type of drying equipment used, it is important to choose a machine that is well-suited to the specific needs of your industry and application. Factors to consider when selecting a drying machine include the type and volume of material being processed, the required level of moisture removal, and the available space and resources for installation and operation.
Overall, drying equipment is an essential tool for many industries, and can help to improve product quality, reduce waste, and increase efficiency. With so many different types of machines available on the market today, it is important to carefully evaluate your options and choose a machine that will meet your specific needs and requirements.

When the low-frequency square-wave excitation electromagnetic flowmeter measures excessive solid content slurry, it will also produce slurry noise, causing the output signal to fluctuate.
When measuring mixed media, if you enter the flow sensor for measurement before the mixing is not uniform, the output signal will also fluctuate.
Improper matching of electrode material and measured medium will also affect normal measurement due to chemical action or polarization. The electrode material should be properly selected according to the instrument selection or related manuals.
2) Lightning Strikes Lightning strikes can easily induce high voltages and surge currents in the instrument lines, causing damage to the instrument. It is mainly introduced through the power line or the excitation coil or the flow signal line between the sensor and the converter, and is particularly introduced from the power cable of the control room.
