velocity profile of the steam as it approaches the meter ( left ), flattening it into the shape of a well-developed profile . The short vortices formed at the back end of the cone ( right ) create a consistent pressure profile to establish the differential pressure between the flow at the front of the cone and the open port at the back of the cone .
CONCLUSION - BETTER BREWS , BETTER BUSINESS RESULTS
Whether changing demands are due to organic growth or corporate acquisitions , being able to improve steam measurement and control with a meter that is more compatible to the process enables breweries and other process industries to optimize both product quality and production efficiency . The V-Cone meter ’ s ability to fit easily into existing infrastructure can also contribute to both improved capital expense ( CAPEX ) and operating expense ( OPEX ) spending .
Fitting a V-Cone meter spool piece as short as 18 ” into an existing piping layout can eliminate the need to expand , move , or replace existing piping infrastructure , with all its attendant CAPEX equipment acquisition and labour costs . In turn , improved steam measurement accuracy not only reduces the OPEX cost of wasted energy consumption , but it can also minimize costs for extra quality control testing or even the dumping of bad batches .
Equally important , providing the information needed to match control of the heating source more closely and more consistently to the dynamics of the process provides greater consistency . That helps to ensure more dependable outcomes that standardize product quality , maintain high customer satisfaction , and reinforce the brand reputation of the manufacturer .
