Kwimilinganiselo yolwelo lwemizi-mveliso, ulwelo olugcwele amasuntswana—njengamanzi amdaka, imigodi, okanye ioyile ekrwada enesediment—lunemingeni eyahlukileyo. Ii-flowmeters zemveli, njengee-turbine okanye iimodeli zokufuduka ezilungileyo, zihlala zinengxaki ngezi fluids: izinto zangaphakathi zinokuvaleka, zonakale, okanye zingcoliswe, nto leyo ekhokelela ekungaphumli rhoqo kunye nokufundwa okungachanekanga. Nangona kunjalo, ii-flowmeters zeDoppler zisombulula le ngxaki ngokusebenzisa isiphumo seDoppler sokulinganisa okungangenisi ntsholongwane, okubenza bangabi namsebenzi kwiindawo apho ulwelo olungcolileyo okanye olungafaniyo luxhaphakileyo.
Eyona nto iphambili ekusebenzeni kweDoppler flowmeter yiDoppler effect, into ebonakalayo apho imvamisa yamaza itshintsha njengoko umthombo kunye nomjongi behamba ngokuhambelanayo. Ukulinganisa ukuhamba, imitha isebenzisa izinto ezimbini ezibalulekileyo: i-transducer (efakwe ngaphandle kumbhobho) kunye neprosesa yesignali. I-transducer ikhupha amaza e-ultrasonic aphindaphindayo (ngesiqhelo ukusuka kwi-0.5 MHz ukuya kwi-5 MHz) eludongeni lombhobho; la maza adlula eludongeni aze angene kulwelo oluhambayo. Xa amaza edibana namaqhekeza axhonyiweyo, amaqamza, okanye i-turbulence kulwelo, abuyela kwi-transducer.
Ingqiqo ebalulekileyo apha kukuba amasuntswana ahambayo atshintsha isantya samaza abonakalisiweyo. Amasuntswana ahamba kwicala lokuhamba kolwelo (ukuya kwi-transducer) acinezela i-reflection wave, onyusa i-frequency yalo. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, amasuntswana ahamba kude ne-transducer ayolula i-wave, enciphisa i-frequency yalo. Iprosesa yesignali ibala i-frequency shift phakathi kwamaza akhutshwayo nabonakalisiweyo, ize isebenzise le datha—edityaniswe neeparameters ezicwangcisiweyo kwangaphambili ezifana nobubanzi bombhobho kunye neempawu zolwelo—ukubala isantya solwelo, kwaye ekugqibeleni, isantya sokuhamba kwalo. Le nkqubo yonke yenzeka ngaphandle kokuba imitha ichukumise ulwelo okanye iphazamise ukuhamba kwalo, isusa umngcipheko wokuvaleka okanye umonakalo wecandelo.
Uyilo lwe-Doppler flowmeters olungangenisi mandla lolunye lwezona nzuzo zibalulekileyo, ingakumbi kwiincindi ezigcwele amasuntswana. Ngokungafaniyo nee-inline flowmeters ezifuna ukusika umbhobho nokufaka izinto kumjelo wolwelo, iimodeli zeDoppler zisebenzisa ii-clamp-on transducers ezincamathela ngqo ngaphandle kombhobho. Ukufakelwa kuthatha iiyure (hayi iintsuku) kwaye akufuneki kuvalwa kwenkqubo—inzuzo ebalulekileyo kumashishini afana nonyango lwamanzi amdaka, apho ukumisa ukuhamba kwamanzi kunokukhokelela kwii-backups zenkqubo okanye ukwaphulwa kwemithetho. Ukongeza, ekubeni kungekho nxalenye yangaphakathi, akukho mngcipheko wokuba amasuntswana abambeke kwiivalvu okanye kwiisensa, kunciphisa iindleko zokulungisa kwaye kwandise ubomi bemitha. Umzekelo, kwimisebenzi yokwemba, apho amasuntswana aqulethe iiminerali ezirhabaxa ezifana namalahle okanye i-iron ore, ii-Doppler flowmeters ziphepha ukuguguleka okuya kuyicima ngokukhawuleza imitha ye-turbine.
Ukuchaneka lolunye uphawu olubalaseleyo lwee-flowmeters zanamhlanje zeDoppler, nangona kukho ulwelo olunzima. Iimodeli zokuqala zazisokola ngokuchaneka kwimithombo yamasuntswana anoxinaniso oluphantsi, kodwa ukuqhubela phambili ekucutshungulweni kwesignali—njengokucoca ngedijithali kunye nokulungiswa kwamaza aguquguqukayo—kuye kwajongana nalo mda. Iimitha zeDoppler zanamhlanje zinokugcina ukuchaneka ngaphakathi kwe-±1% ukuya kwi-±3% yokufunda ulwelo olunezinga lamasuntswana eliphantsi njenge-10 parts per million (ppm), nto leyo eyenza ukuba zifaneleke kwizicelo ezifana nokucubungula iikhemikhali, apho namasuntswana amancinci (umz., ii-catalyst fines) kufuneka ziqwalaselwe. Zikwagqwesa ekulinganiseni amazinga okuhamba aguquguqukayo: ngokungafaniyo nezinye iimitha zemveli ezilahlekelwa kukuchaneka kwisantya esiphantsi, iimodeli zeDoppler zinokubona ukuhamba okucothayo njenge-0.1 metres ngomzuzwana (m/s), imfuneko ephambili kumashishini afana nokucubungula ukutya, apho i-slurries ezixineneyo (umz., i-tomato paste okanye itshokholethi) zihlala zihamba ngesantya esiphantsi.
Ukusetyenziswa kwehlabathi lokwenyani kugxininisa ukuguquguquka kweeDoppler flowmeters. Ekunyangweni kwamanzi amdaka kamasipala, bajonga ukuhamba kwamanzi amdaka angacocwanga—azaliswe yinkunkuma kunye namasuntswana endalo—ngemibhobho, beqinisekisa ukuba izityalo zonyango zisebenza ngomthamo ofanelekileyo. Kwishishini leoyile negesi, balinganisa ukuhamba kweoyile ekrwada equlethe isanti okanye amanzi, benceda abaqhubi ukuba balandele ubungakanani bemveliso ngaphandle kokubeka emngciphekweni womonakalo kwizixhobo ezibizayo. Kwanakwiindawo zolimo, zisetyenziselwa ukujonga ukuhamba kwamanzi amdaka esichumisi, ukuqinisekisa ukusetyenziswa ngokuchanekileyo kwizityalo.
Kakade ke, iiDoppler flowmeters azisosisombululo esifanelekileyo kuzo zonke. Zifuna uxinaniso oluncinci lwee-particles (ngokuqhelekileyo i-10 ppm okanye ngaphezulu) ukuvelisa isignali esebenzisekayo; kwiziselo ezicocekileyo ezifana namanzi okusela okanye iikhemikhali ezicocekileyo kakhulu, ii-transit-time ultrasonic flowmeters zikhetho olungcono. Ukongeza, izinto zepayipi kunye nobukhulu zinokuchaphazela ukuhanjiswa kwesignali—iipayipi zesinyithi (umz., intsimbi) zifanelekile, ngelixa iipayipi zeplastiki ezixineneyo zinokufuna ukulungiswa kokubekwa kwe-transducer. Kodwa kwiziselo ezigcwele ii-particles, uyilo lwazo olungenalo uhlaselo kunye nokuchaneka kwenza zingabi nakuthelekiswa.
Ukuqukumbela, iiDoppler flowmeters ziguqule indlela yokulinganisa ulwelo olugcwele amasuntswana ngokuguqula umngeni—imijelo engcolileyo neyahlukeneyo—yaye ibe ngamandla. Ngokusebenzisa isiphumo seDoppler, zibonelela ngedatha echanekileyo nethembekileyo ngaphandle kokuphazamisa iinkqubo okanye ukubeka emngciphekweni umonakalo wecandelo. Njengoko amashishini eqhubeka nokuphatha ulwelo oluntsonkothileyo, indima yeeDoppler flowmeters ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza kakuhle, ukuthobela imithetho, kunye nokonga iindleko iya kukhula kuphela, iqinise indawo yayo njengesixhobo esibalulekileyo kulawulo lolwelo lwanamhlanje.
