1. One of the reasons for the large fluctuation of vortex flowmeter and improvement methods: One of the reasons for the large fluctuation of vortex flowmeter is that when the large-diameter instrument is at the lower limit flow rate, due to the small obstruction of the medium (relative to the vortex), the flow velocity is fast, resulting in a smaller number of pulses generated when 1 cubic meter of medium passes through (i.e., a smaller instrument coefficient), and the final result is lower resolution. This is an inherent characteristic of vortex flowmeters, especially at the lower limit flow rate of large diameter instruments, which may exhibit large fluctuations and unstable values. Improvement method: Extend measurement time: By extending the measurement time, the cumulative number of pulses can be increased, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the measurement. For example, extending the measurement time from 1 second to 10 seconds or longer can significantly reduce the fluctuation range of flow. However, it should be noted that excessively long measurement times may affect the real-time performance of the system. Measurement using the cycle measurement method: The cycle measurement method calculates the flow rate by measuring the period of the pulse, which is more sensitive to low-frequency signals. Setting the frequency of the weekly measurement base at a higher level (such as above 1000Hz) can ensure stable measurement results even at low flow rates. However, it should be noted that the weekly measurement method requires multiple software filters to reduce flow fluctuations and may result in insufficient tracking speed. Measurement using frequency doubling method: The frequency doubling method amplifies the vortex frequency through a frequency doubler to increase the number of pulses. For example, doubling the vortex frequency to 128 times can result in more pulses within 1 second. Even if ± 1 pulse is lost, the impact on the measurement results will be greatly reduced. The advantage of the frequency doubling method is that it can ensure both tracking speed and stability during the lower limit measurement of large aperture instruments. But the disadvantage is that it increases hardware costs. Optimizing software algorithms: By optimizing software algorithms such as using sliding filtering, weighted averaging, etc., the stability and accuracy of measurements can be further improved. These algorithms can process pulse signals more effectively, reducing the impact of noise and interference on measurement results. Choosing the appropriate instrument specifications: When choosing a vortex flowmeter, the appropriate instrument specifications should be selected based on actual measurement needs and flow range. Avoid selecting instrument specifications that are too large or too small to reduce measurement fluctuations caused by mismatched instrument characteristics. In summary, to address the issue of large fluctuations in the lower limit flow rate of large caliber instruments with vortex flowmeters, improvements can be made through methods such as extending measurement time, using cycle measurement, using frequency doubling to measure the closed rock mass flow rate, optimizing software algorithms, and selecting appropriate instrument specifications. In practical applications, the advantages and disadvantages of various methods should be comprehensively considered according to the specific situation, and the most suitable
