DEVICE TO DETERMINE PHASE CONDITION OF GAS AND LIQUID FLOW Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01N25/02 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: substance consists in availability of a measurement device and a thermoresistive sensor of phase condition in a device for determination of phase condition of a gas and liquid flow, and the sensor comprises a printed circuit board arranged along the axis of flow movement and rigidly fixed by one short side with a sensitive element installed on it and made in the form of a substrate, on which a film resistor of the "point" design (a thermistor) is installed. The sensitive element is installed in the reference point along the vertical axis of the pipeline cross section and is connected with the measurement device, which comprises a metering circuit and a microcontroller with program control and is designed to measure variation of thermistor resistance, connected with variation of the phase condition of the medium in horizontal layers of the gas and liquid flow, and signal processing. At the same time the sensitive element of the sensor by one short side of the substrate is fixed on the edge of the short non-fixed side of the printed circuit board. The film resistor (thermistor) placed on the substrate is displaced towards the edge of the free short side of the substrate and is arranged at the distance of not more than 0.5 mm from this edge. Contact sites designed for connection of the substrate to the printed circuit board are arranged opposite to the thermistor at the opposite short side of the substrate.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of a device to determine phase condition of a gas and liquid flow.
