Milltronics C-40 Solids Flowmeter

Milltronics C-40 solids flowmeter is a low- to medium-capacity flowmeter designed to

NFPA Code 8503 requirements for pulverized coal and coke. It is designed specifically for

applications where the possibility of material combustion or explosion exists. The C-40

flowmeter is equipped with an ILE-37 sensing head and is suitable for material flowrates

up to 40 t/h. The standard sensing head fiberglass cover is replaced by a hinged steel

cover.

The C-40 solids flowmeter is capable of containing an explosion generating an internal

pressure of 50 psi. Upset conditions generating up to 10 psi can be tolerated when a PTFE

inner gasket is used. In normal operation, the internal pressure must be less than 1 psig.

The flowmeter sensing head LVDT output signal is processed by the flowmeter integrator

(ordered separately) to:

• monitor material flow

• maintain accurate material inventory

The following components are included with each Milltronics C-40 flowmeter:

• C-40 flowmeter housing and flowguide

• ILE-37 sensing head (factory mounted)

• spare damping fluid and filler bottle

To complete the Milltronics C-40 flowmeter system, the following parts must be ordered

separately:

• stainless steel sensing plate

• electronic flowmeter integrator

• LVDT Conditioner Card in NEMA 4 enclosure

• calibration weights

Installation

Install the Milltronics C-40 flowmeter in an area that is suitable for the system

classification rating. Maintain sufficient clearance to permit:

• sensing plate installation and removal

• opening the sensing head cover for calibration purposes

Ensure the flowmeter inlet and outlet mounting surface are free from vibration.

Installation Procedure

1. Position the flowmeter into the desired location.

2. If necessary, shim the mounting brackets to establish level in both planes.

3. Fasten the housing discharge to the downstream material chute.

4. Fasten the flowguide to the material infeed chute.

5. Refer to the ILE-37 sensing head instruction manual for levelling, sensing plate

installation, and interconnection instructions.

Note: Ensure sufficient mechanical support is provided for the flowmeter and

chutework for all operating conditions.

Applications

The operational performance and maintenance requirements of a flowmeter application

are directly related to the care and consideration given to material flow patterns.

Material Feed

The following material in-feed characteristics are considered ideal:

• material velocity is constant and relatively low

• material flowrate is uniform (not pulsing)

• air flow through the flowmeter is negligible

• flowguide is always 1/6 to 1/2 full during operation

In cases where material cannot be gravity fed from an elevated bin to the flowmeter,

choose a mechanical feeding device that provides the most consistent material flow.

Most coal scale applications require an airlock on the flowmeter infeed and discharge; in

such cases, rotary airlock feeders can provide the airlock. Install a screw conveyor just

before the flowguide to modulate the heavily pulsing discharge of the infeed rotary

feeder. For best results, overfeed the screw conveyor, maintaining a constant plugged

screw condition.

For high or variable velocity feeder material discharges, employ a

reverse flowguide

transition

s. (Refer to

Feeder / Flowguide Transition,

page 5.)

For slight to moderate material pulsing at a frequency greater than one pulse per second,

use a heavier flowmeter sensing head range spring and/or viscous damper fluid as

compensation.

For heavily pulsing feeder discharges, at a frequency less than one pulse per second,

consult your local Siemens Milltronics representative,

or visit www.siemens-milltronics.com.

Screw Conveyor

Rotary Airlock Feeder

Feeder/Flowguide Transition

Short pitch and/or double flight screws are

preferred, reducing the batch size (and increasing

the frequency) of the material discharge pulses.

Alternatively, the flights of a standard screw may

be cut back, ending before the discharge opening.

Consider a reverse flowguide transition for

operating speeds above 40 rpm.

Rotary airlock feeders provide an air seal between

the upstream and/or downstream process and the

flowmeter. This may be required if:

• the material is pneumatically conveyed

• flowmeter/process isolation is required

Best results are obtained from rotary feeders with

more vanes, operating at higher speeds.

Consider a reverse flowguide transition for

operating speeds above 10 rpm.

reverse flowguide transition

reverses the

direction of the bin or feeder material discharge

before the material enters the flowmeter

flowguide. Reversing direction forces the material

into a desirable flow pattern instead of permitting

material to be flung from the feeder directly into

the flowguide. This transition is especially

important for high or variable speed feeders.

forward flowguide transition

keeps the material

flowing in the same direction between the bin or

feeder discharge and the flowguide. This transition

is acceptable for a low and constant velocity

feeder. If a forward flow guide transition must be

used for a high or variable speed feeder

application, install a baffle plate.

Dogleg

Short/Long Fall Chutes

A dogleg may be used to reduce material velocity

and the detrimental effect of variable material

velocity. The dogleg is especially important when a

long fall chute must be used. If the material is

abrasive, the chute should be lined with an

abrasion-resistant material.

A material in-feed chute where the bin or feeder

discharge to flowmeter flowguide fall is less than

0.6 m (2 ft) is referred to as a

short fall chute.

This

chute is ideal because material velocity caused by

gravity is minimal. The chute centerline and angle

should coincide with that of the flowguide for a

distance greater than or equal to the flowguide

diameter (before the flowguide inlet).

long fall chute

describes a material in-feed

where the bin or feeder discharge/flowguide fall is

more than 0.6 m (2 ft). The long fall chute is less

desirable than the short fall chute, as material

velocity is increased. Increased material velocity

increases flowmeter component abrasion. Greater

distances after chute angle changes (to settle

material into desirable flow patterns) are also

required.

< 0.6 m (2 ft.)

> 0.6 m (2 ft.)

In-Feed/Discharge Air Pressure

Maintenance

Upset conditions with high pressure generation may cause the sensing head’s internal

components to be contaminated by powder. In this case, the inner gasket may leak or

rupture. It may therefore be necessary to replace the inner gasket, clean out the sensing

head area, and replace the damping fluid. Refer to the instruction manual 7ML19985CW01

for ILE-37 side mount sensing head information.

All Siemens Milltronics manuals are available for free download at www.siemens-

milltronics.com.

If a material in-feed/discharge differential air

pressure is anticipated and rotary airlock feeders

are not used, the in-feed and discharge chutes

should be vented to a common dust collector. A

tuning gate may be installed in each chute to

balance the air pressure. If a dust collector is not

used, an air bypass chute may be installed

between the flowmeter in-feed and discharge

chutes.
