The Chart VLCD-1300 Bulk CO2 System is the ideal tank for small volume liquid CO2 transport and delivery. Optional FLOW Instruments flow meter with no moving parts, superior accuracy and optional ticket printer for improved billing and lower costs Top of Page Flowcom LC Chart and FLOW Instruments, GmbH now offer you the FLOW meter that is unmatched in accuracy, dependability, and ease of use as well as providing you with many other benefits. Considering that the metering and printing of tickets dictate your profits, a flow meter can be one of your most important investments. The FLOW meter contains no moving parts in the metering section that can wear out, thus, virtually eliminating repair costs. The design of the meter eliminates the generation of CO2 gas which results in product delivered that is not measured.
Calibration is recommended every two years versus annually with other meters.
The metering section requires a straight pipe length that is only 5 times the diameter of the liquid line. All other components can easily be located where most accessible or useable. The FLOW meter calculates the flow rate by measuring the difference in pressure between a normal section of the liquid delivery line and a restricted orifice inside this line. As the liquid flows through the metering section a pressure drop occurs across the restriction. A differential pressure transmitter then converts the pneumatic signal into an electrical current that is used to calculate the liquid flow.
