Water injection measurement for turbines
Exhaust gas reduction protects the
environment.
At over 1,200 °C, combustion changes the nitrogen in the air into
dangerous nitrogen oxides (NOx). At a lower combustion temperature, NOx
is reduced. Water is injected to cool things down. Water injection is
usually mechanically controlled, but not electronically regulated. The
only way to regulate the rate is by measuring the flow.
KRAL flowmeters measure the rate of water injection very reliably and
precisely.
Reducing water costs.
Only demineralized water is suitable for injection. Demineralized water
is extremely expensive, sometimes even more expensive than the fuel
itself. Water consumption must be optimized. KRAL flowmeters measure
demineralized water with great accuracy.
Extremely easy installation.
The accuracy of many water flowmeters depends on the flow profile. They
need steadying zones and thus take up a lot of space. When space is
limited, stable measurements are extremely difficult to perform. KRAL
flowmeters measure independently of the flow profile. The installation
is compact. Strainers or flow conditioners are not required.
