Kwimilinganiselo yokuhamba kombane kwimizi-mveliso, apho ukuchaneka, ukuthembeka, kunye nokuhambelana nolwelo olunzima kungaxoxiswana ngako, ii-gear flowmeters zibonakala njengesisombululo esithembekileyo. Ngokungafaniyo nee-ultrasonic okanye ii-electromagnetic flowmeters ezigqwesileyo kwi-conductive okanye i-non-viscous media, ii-gear flowmeters zenzelwe ukuba ziphumelele kwizicelo ezibandakanya ulwelo oluqinileyo—ukusuka kwiioyile zokuthambisa kunye nolwelo lwe-hydraulic ukuya kwiisiraphu, iipeyinti, kunye nezongezo zeekhemikhali. Uyilo lwazo oluhle lokuhambisa umoya luqinisekisa ukulinganiswa okulinganayo, okuchanekileyo kakhulu nokuba kumanqanaba aphantsi okuhamba kombane, okwenza ukuba zibe yimfuneko kumashishini aqala kwimveliso yeemoto ukuya ekulungisweni kokutya.
Eyona nto iphambili ekusebenzeni kwe-gear flowmeter ngumgaqo wayo we-positive-displacement (PD), indlela elula kodwa esebenzayo ebala ngokuthe ngqo umthamo wolwelo. Umbindi we-meter unegiya ezimbini okanye ngaphezulu ezidibeneyo (ezihlala zenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwaliyo, i-PTFE, okanye iplastiki eqinileyo) ezigcinwe kwigumbi elinomatshini ochanekileyo. Njengoko ulwelo lungena kwigumbi, luzalisa izithuba phakathi kwamazinyo egiya, lunyanzela iigiya ukuba zijikeleze. Ukujikeleza ngakunye kweegiya kususa umthamo osisigxina, owaziwayo wolwelo—obizwa ngokuba yi-"meter factor"—othi emva koko udluliselwe kwi-sensor (yoomatshini okanye ye-elektroniki) eguqula intshukumo yokujikeleza ibe yisignali enokulinganiswa. Esi signali sicutshungulwa ukubala umthamo opheleleyo okanye izinga lokuhamba ngokukhawuleza kolwelo, ngokuxhomekeka okuncinci kwizinto zangaphandle ezifana nokuqhuba kolwelo okanye iprofayili yokuhamba.
Enye yezona nzuzo zibalulekileyo zee-gear flowmeters kukuchaneka kwazo okugqwesileyo, nokuba zisetyenziswa ngokubhityileyo nangokuhamba kancinci. Uninzi lwee-gear flowmeters ezikumgangatho wezoshishino zifikelela kuchaneko lwe-±0.1% ukuya kwi-±0.5% yexabiso elilinganisiweyo, ziphumelela ngaphezu kwezinye iintlobo ezininzi ze-flowmeter kwiimeko apho ukuchaneka kubalulekile. Umzekelo, kwimigca yokuhlanganisa iimoto, ii-gear flowmeters zisetyenziselwa ukulinganisa ubungakanani obuchanekileyo be-oyile yokuthambisa efakwe kwiindawo zenjini—i-oyile encinci kakhulu ibeka emngciphekweni ukuguguleka kwangethuba, ngelixa i-oyile eninzi ichitha izixhobo kwaye inokubangela ubushushu obugqithisileyo. Amandla e-meter okugcina ukuchaneka kuluhlu olubanzi lwe-viscosity (ukusuka kwi-1 cP ukuya kwi-1,000,000 cP okanye nangaphezulu) ayenza ifaneleke kwimisebenzi enjalo, njengoko utshintsho lwe-viscosity lunempembelelo encinci ekufudukisweni okusisigxina kwee-gears.
Enye inzuzo ephambili kuyilo lwazo oluqinileyo kunye neemfuno eziphantsi zokugcinwa. Iigiya ezidibeneyo kunye negumbi zenziwe ngezinto ezihlala ixesha elide ezimelana nokugqwala, ukukrala, kunye nomonakalo weekhemikhali—ezibalulekileyo ekuphatheni ulwelo olunamandla njengee-solvents zoshishino okanye ii-syrups zodidi lokutya. Ngokungafaniyo nee-turbine flowmeters, ezineendawo ezithambileyo ezihambayo ezidla ngokuguga, ii-gear flowmeters zinesakhiwo esilula, esincinci esinezinto ezimbalwa ezinokusilela. Oku kuhlala ixesha elide kuthetha ubomi benkonzo ende (ngokuqhelekileyo iminyaka emi-5-10 xa isetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo) kunye nexesha elinciphileyo lokungasebenzi lokugcinwa. Ukongeza, ii-gear flowmeters ezininzi zanamhlanje zinezakhiwo ezingenatywina okanye ii-couplings zemagnethi, zisusa umngcipheko wokuvuza kolwelo—inzuzo ebalulekileyo kwizicelo ezibandakanya ulwelo olunobuthi okanye olunexabiso eliphezulu.
Ii-gear flowmeters zikwagqwesa kakhulu kumashishini onke, zilungelelanisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zolwelo kunye neemeko zokusebenza. Kwicandelo lokutya neziselo, zisetyenziselwa ukulinganisa ukuhamba kwezithako ezixineneyo ezifana netshokholethi, ubusi, okanye i-tomato paste, kunye nezixhobo zodidi lokutya (ezifana ne-316L stainless steel kunye ne-FDA-approved elastomers) ukuqinisekisa ukuthotyelwa kwemigangatho yokhuseleko. Kwishishini leoyile negesi, zijonga ukuhamba kolwelo lwe-hydraulic kwizixhobo zokubhola kunye nezithambiso kwi-compressors zepayipi, apho ukumelana kwazo noxinzelelo oluphezulu (ukuya kuthi ga kwi-10,000 psi okanye ngaphezulu) kunye namaqondo obushushu (ukusuka kwi--40°C ukuya kwi-200°C) kubaluleke kakhulu. Kwanakwishishini lezemithi, ii-gear flowmeters zidlala indima ekulinganisweni ngokuchanekileyo kwamayeza axineneyo kunye nezongezo, apho ukuchaneka kunye nokungabi nazintsholongwane kubaluleke kakhulu.
Ukuhlanganiswa neenkqubo zolawulo lwemizi-mveliso yenye indlela enamandla ngayo ii-flowmeters zegiya zanamhlanje. Iimodeli ezininzi zixhotyiswe ngeziphumo zedijithali (ezifana ne-RS485/Modbus, i-HART, okanye imiqondiso ye-pulse) okanye iziphumo ze-analog (4–20mA), ezivumela uqhagamshelo olungenamthungo kwiinkqubo ze-SCADA, ii-data loggers, okanye ii-PLCs. Oku kwenza kube lula ukujonga amazinga okuhamba kwegiya ngexesha langempela, ukulinganiswa okukude, kunye nolawulo oluzenzekelayo lweenkqubo—umzekelo, ukulungisa ukuhamba kwepeyinti kwisityalo sokwenza imveliso ukuqinisekisa ukutyeba okuhlala kufana. Ezinye iimodeli eziphambili ziquka iimpawu zokuxilonga, ezinje ngokuchongwa kokuguguleka kwegiya okanye izilumkiso zokungcola kolwelo, ezinceda abaqhubi ukuba bajongane nemiba ngaphambi kokuba ikhokelele ekusileleni okubiza kakhulu.
Nangona zininzi iingenelo zazo, ii-gear flowmeters azisetyenziswa ngokubanzi. Azifanelekanga kangako kwii-fluid ezinee-particles ezinkulu (ezinokuthi zivale ii-gear) okanye ii-fluid eziguquguqukayo kakhulu (ezinokubangela i-cavitation). Nangona kunjalo, kwii-fluids ezininzi eziqinileyo, ezicocekileyo, okanye ezingcoliswe kancinci, zihlala ziyindlela efanelekileyo. Ukukwazi kwazo ukudibanisa ukuchaneka okuphezulu, ukuqina, kunye nokuguquguquka kuzenza zibe sisiseko sokulinganisa ukuhamba kwemizi-mveliso, ukuxhasa ukusebenza kakuhle, ukonga iindleko, kunye nokuthobela imithetho kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezicelo.
Ngamafutshane, ii-gear flowmeters azikho nje izixhobo zokulinganisa—zizinto ezibalulekileyo eziqinisekisa ukuchaneka nokuthembeka kumashishini apho ulawulo lolwelo luchaphazela ngokuthe ngqo umgangatho wemveliso kunye nokhuseleko lokusebenza. Njengoko iteknoloji iqhubeka, uyilo lwazo luyaqhubeka nokukhula, kunye nokuphuculwa kwezixhobo, iteknoloji yesensa, kunye noqhagamshelo oluphucula ngakumbi ukusebenza kwazo. Kumashishini afuna isisombululo sokulinganisa ukuhamba kwamanzi esinokuphatha ulwelo oluxineneyo kunye neemeko zokuhamba kancinci ngokuchanekileyo okungenakuthelekiswa nanto, i-gear flowmeter ihlala ilukhetho olungenakoyiswa.
