Chapter 1. General Information

1.1 Theory of Operation

The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter system uses ultrasonic transit-time technology. A brief description of transit-time theory follows. For more information about the theory, and the use of BHGE ultrasonic flow meters for measuring flow, please refer to Ultrasonic Measurements for Process Control by L.C. Lynnworth (Academic Press, 1989).

1.1.1 Transit-Time Method

The transit time technique uses a pair of transducers, with each transducer alternately sending and receiving coded ultrasonic signals through the fluid. When the fluid is flowing, signal transit time in the downstream direction is shorter than in the upstream direction. The difference between these transit times is proportional to the flow velocity. The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter measures this very small time difference and, using various digital signal processing techniques combined with programmed pipe parameters, determines the flow rate and direction.

1.1.2 Transducers

When in a transmit cycle, transducers convert electrical energy into ultrasonic pulses and then convert the ultrasonic pulses back to electrical energy when in a receive cycle. In other words, they act like loudspeakers when transmitting the signal and like microphones when receiving it. They perform the actual data transmission and collection, thus interrogating the flow.

1.2 Multi-Path Design

Multi-path ultrasonic flow meters are designed to accommodate more than one pair of transducers to interrogate the flow field in different locations and more accurately determine the actual flow rate. The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter system is available in either a 1-Path or 2-Path configuration. For the 2-Path configuration, the measurement paths are located either at Diametrical path or at Midradius configurations. In addition to the flow transducers, the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter can be fitted with optional temperature and pressure transducers to permit mass flow measurements.

1.3 Flow Profile

One of the main factors affecting an ultrasonic flow measurement is the flow profile. If the flow profile is known, mathematical modeling of the flow and the relationships between the raw data of the two paths can be made. Maintaining a constant flow-profile shape across all flow velocities, pipe sizes and upstream flow disturbances can be difficult. For this reason, BHGE has tested the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter under various conditions in an effort to determine its operational limits.

Chapter 1. General Information

1.4 Unpacking

The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter is typically packaged in a wooden crate, the size of which will depend on the size of product ordered. The flowcell is secured by several 2x4 wood blocks to prevent shifting during transit. Simply remove these 2x4 braces to unpack the system. For local-mount systems the transmitter electronics enclosure is installed directly on top of the flowcell via an adapter. For remote-mount systems the transmitter electronics enclosure and the remote cable may ship in a separate package.

1.5 Inspection

Prior to installation, inspect all materials to be used in the installation:

• Gaskets - check for cracks, tears and over compression

• Nuts and Bolts - check for damaged threads and for debris

• RF Flange Faces - check for damage to serrations that may cause gaskets to not seal properly.

In general, check for anything that may prevent safe operation of the equipment.

IMPORTANT: If pipes are shipped pre-assembled as a single section, care should be taken to inspect and check

the bolts and gaskets.

Chapter 2. Installation

2.1 Introduction

To ensure safe and reliable operation of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter, the system must be installed in accordance with the guidelines established by BHGE engineers. Those guidelines are explained in detail in this chapter.

WARNING! The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter can measure the flow rate of many gases, some of which are potentially hazardous. In such cases, the importance of proper safety practices cannot be overemphasized.

Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for installing electrical equipment and working with hazardous gases or flow conditions. Consult company safety personnel or local safety authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.

Attention! To meet CE Mark requirements for all units intended for use in the EU or in high electrical noise environments, all electrical cables must be installed as described in Appendix A, “CE Mark Compliance and High Noise Environments”.

2.2 Lifting Instructions

Use proper lifting techniques when moving the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter. No lifting hooks or eyelets are provided. The recommended method for lifting the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter is by using lifting straps on each side of the spool with a stabilizer bar between them, located above the transmitter head. Additional care may need to be taken to prevent the transmitter from rotating, especially on the smaller systems where the transmitter weight is a larger percentage of the total system weight. A label similar to Figure 6 below, which illustrates these required precautions, is attached to the flowcell.

Figure 8: Improper Lifting Method

2.3 Flowcell Location Guidelines

The flowcell includes the flow transducers and, optionally, pressure and temperature transmitters. Ideally, install the flowcell in a section of pipe with access to the flowcell, such as a long run of pipe that is above ground. Observe the following recommendations:

• There should be at least 20 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow upstream and 10 pipe

diameters of straight, undisturbed flow downstream from the measurement point. To ensure undisturbed flow, avoid sources of disturbances in the fluid such as valves, flanges, expansions, and elbows.

• Because condensate or sediment at the bottom of the pipe may cause attenuation of the ultrasonic

signal, always install the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter with the transmitter in a vertical orientation on the top of the pipe. This ensures that the transducers are located on the sides of the pipe rather than on the top or bottom.

• Only authorized personnel should perform the installation. The proper personal protection

equipment (PPE) should always be used when working with this equipment.

• The flowcell shall be installed in such a way that it can be safely operated, maintained and inspected.

Please refer to specific outline and installation drawings for proper clearances and specific distances for each system size. In general, allow for a minimum of 12” of space on all sides of the flowcell and flow transmitter, with an ideal clearance of 24” on all sides.

• You must provide suitable over-pressure protection at the main piping to the flowcell in order to

prevent damage to the flowcell and injury to personnel. The utilized over-pressure protection device shall be supplied with all declarations of conformity and EC-type design certificates.

PanaFlow™ Z1G/Z2G User’s Manual 9

Page 20

Chapter 2. Installation

• Make sure the difference between the inside diameter of the pipe and that of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G

Process Gas Flowmeter does not exceed 0.5%, as changes in internal diameters will cause flow profile

disturbances.

• Make sure any non-symmetrical offset does not exceed 1%, as misalignment between the piping and

the meter may cause flow profile disturbances.

• Make sure the gasket is centered on the flange faces and does not protrude into the pipe, as

protrusion of the gasket into the pipe may cause flow profile disturbances.

• If pipe insulation is required, install all insulation materials and accessories in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and recognized industry practices. Adhere to the local code where applicable to ensure that the safe and proper installation will serve its intended purpose.

2.4 Making the Electrical Connections

This section contains instructions for making all the necessary electrical connections to the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter. Refer to Figure 13 on page 19 for a complete wiring diagram.

Note: Except for the power connector, all electrical connectors are stored on their terminal blocks during

shipment and may be removed from the enclosure for more convenient wiring. Simply, feed the cables through the conduit holes on the side of the enclosure, attach the wires to the appropriate connectors, and plug the connectors back into their terminal blocks.

2.4.1 Wiring the Line Power

The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter may be ordered for operation with power inputs of either 85-240 VAC (standard) or 12-28 VDC (optional). The tag plate on the side of the electronics enclosure lists the required line voltage and the power rating. Be sure to connect the meter only to the specified line voltage.

WARNING! Proper grounding of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter is required to prevent the possibility of electric shock. See Figure 11 on page 17 for the location of the chassis grounding screw.

WARNING! For compliance with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive, this unit requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the meter.

WARNING! Improper connection of the line power leads or connecting the meter to the incorrect line voltage may damage the unit. It may also result in hazardous voltages at the flowcell and associated piping as well as within the electronics enclosure.

Refer to Figure 13 on page 19 to locate the correct terminal block, and connect the line power as follows:

1. Prepare the line power leads by trimming the line and neutral AC power leads (or the positive and negative DC power leads) to a length 0.5 in. (1 cm) shorter than the ground lead. This ensures that the ground lead is the last to detach if the power cable is forcibly disconnected from the meter.

2. Install a cable clamp in the conduit hole closest to the power terminal block. Avoid using the other conduit holes for this purpose to minimize any interference in the circuitry from the AC power line.

3. Strip 1/4 in. of insulation from the end of each of the three power line leads.

4. Route the cable through the conduit hole and connect the line power leads to the terminal block,

using the pin number assignments shown in Figure 13 on page 19.

5. Leaving a bit of slack, secure the power line with the cable clamp.

2.4.5.1 Wiring a 4-20 mA Analog Inputs Option Card

To calculate standard flow rates, the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter requires accurate temperature and pressure data from the measurement site. Transmitters installed in the flowcell can provide

this information via an optional4-20 mA analog inputs option card. This option card includes two or four isolated 4-20 mA analog inputs (designated as A, B, C and D), each of which includes a 24 VDC power supply for loop-powered transmitters. Either input may be used to process the temperature signal, while the other input is used to process the pressure signal.

IMPORTANT: To properly enter programming data into the meter, it is necessary to know which input is

assigned to which process parameter.

The analog inputs, which have an impedance of 118

Ω, should be connected with standard twisted-pair

wiring. Power to the transmitters may be supplied either by the integral 24 VDC power supply on the analog input option card or by an external power supply. Figure 10 below shows typical wiring diagrams, with and without an external power supply, for one of the analog inputs.

Chapter 4. Operation

4.1 Introduction

See Chapter 2, “Installation”, and Chapter 3, “Initial Setup”, to prepare your PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter system for operation. When the meter is ready to take measurements, proceed with this chapter.

The following specific topics are discussed:

• “Powering Up” on page 34

• “The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter LCD Display” on page 35

• “The Optional PanaView Display” on page 36

• “Taking Measurements” on page 37

Note: All inputs and outputs of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter are calibrated at the factory

prior to shipment. If it becomes necessary to recalibrate any of the inputs and/or outputs, consult the factory for instructions.

WARNING! To ensure the safe operation of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter, it must be installed and operated as described in this manual. In addition, be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for the installation of electrical equipment.

PanaFlow™ Z1G/Z2G User’s Manual 33

Page 44

Chapter 4. Operation

4.2 Powering Up

Because the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter does not have an ON/OFF switch, it will power up as soon as the connected power source is energized.

There are three methods for obtaining readings from the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter:

• Built-in PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter LCD display

• PanaView software installed on a personal computer

• External analog device to read the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter analog output

At least one of the above display options must be installed in order to obtain flow rate readings from the meter.

Immediately upon power up, the software version display appears. Then, the meter performs a series of internal checks, which take about 45 seconds, prior to displaying the flow rate data (see“Initial Power On Screens” on page 23).

Note: If the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter fails any of the internal checks, try disconnecting the

power and then re-powering the unit. If the meter continues to fail any of the internal checks, contact the factory for assistance.

After successfully performing the internal checks, the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter begins taking measurements and the software version display is replaced by a measurement mode display. Proceed to the appropriate section for instructions on using the LCD display and the PanaView display option.

Note: As a minimum, the system and pipe parameters for each installed channel must be entered before the

PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter can display valid data. Refer to Chapter 3, “Initial Setup”, for specific instructions.

4.6 PT Sensor Drift and Recalibration

The PT sensor is an optional accessory, that comes with select models of Z1G/Z2G. The sensor is specified to have a maximum drift of 0.1% of full scale (FS) output per year.

Although, the output drift of this sensor reduces over time, as the innate stresses in the materials relax and stop shifting around, we recommend removing the sensor for recalibration every 5 years. However, user may decide on the recalibration frequency based on the application process needs, to have it calibrated earlier than the recommended period.

When the sensor is removed for calibration, either install the spare sensor or an approved Ex d plug to close the sensor mounting slot. Follow all the safety precautions & recommendations while removing and installing the sensor.

Send the sensor to the Customer Support Center addresses mentioned on the rear cover of this manual. We will return the calibrated sensor to the specified address, along with the calibration certificate.

Appendix A. CE Mark Compliance and High Noise Environments

A.1 Introduction

For CE Mark compliance, the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter must meet the EMC and LVD directives.

Attention European Customers! CE Mark compliance is required for all units intended for use in EU countries, and it is also recommended for installation in high electrical noise environments.

A.2 EMC Compliance

In addition to the standard wiring requirements, the electrical connections must be shielded and grounded as described in Table 11 below for EMC compliance. After all the necessary electrical connections have been made, seal any unused cable entry holes.

Note: If the instructions in this appendix are followed, the unit will comply with the EMC Directive.

Table 11: Wiring Modifications

Connection Cable Type Termination Modification

Transducer Shielded cable Terminate the shield using the cable glands (already done).

Power Shielded cable Terminate the shield to the case using the cable glands.

Shielding Wires enclosed in a properly-grounded metal conduit do not require additional

shielding.

All Input/Output Options Shielded cable Terminate the shields to the case using the cable glands or to the

closest screw on the bus bar inside the enclosure.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to connect the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter case to the earth ground

with a grounding cable, using the external ground screws found on either side of the enclosure. The connection should be less than 9.8 feet (3 meters) long.
