This flowmeter can measure the flow of conductive liquids, even in partially filled pipes. To be
able to do this, a capacitive height measurement has been integrated into a regular
electromagnetic flowmeter. If both the filled fraction and the velocity of the fluid are known, it is
easy to calculate the amount of fluid running through the pipe.
2.3 Nameplates

3.5 General requirements
INFORMATION!
The following precautions must be taken to ensure reliable installation.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space to the sides.
•
Protect the signal converter from direct sunlight and install a sun shade if necessary.
•
Signal converters installed in control cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or heat
exchanger.
•
Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibration. The flowmeters are tested for a
vibration level in accordance with IEC 68-2-64.

3.6.4 Mounting advice for difficult situations
If you can not meet the installation conditions install the flowmeter between two containers. The
inlet to the flowmeter must be higher than the outlet of the fluid. In this way you will have a calm
flow into the flowmeter, resulting in a highly accurate measurement. The sizes of the containers
must be proportional to the size of the flowmeter.
Figure 3-7: Installing in difficult situations
1 Use a container 2 if the Inlet pipe has a slope > 1%. Make sure that the outlet level of this pipe is below the inlet to the
flowmeter.
2 Inlet container
3 Inlet section of 10 DN
4 Outlet section of 5 DN
5 Outlet container advisable if outlet pipe has a slope > 1%.
TIDALFLUX 2300 F
CAUTION!
Always use a free exit pipe to prevent backflow in the flow sensor and to keep the velocity at the
maximum flow at least at 1 m/s.
3.6.5 Open discharge

4.3.3 Connection of TIDALFLUX 2000 F
The flow sensor and the signal converter must be incorporated in the equipotential bonding
system of the installation. This can be established internally by connection of the protective
earth (PE) conductor of the mains supply system to the internal PE clamp, or externally, by
connecting a separate equipotential bonding conductor between the two external PE-clamps
(size M5). A separate bonding conductor must have a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm
Keep the screw-threads free of dirt and well-greased (e.g. with PTFE grease). The grease will
help to prevent the threads from locking due to corrosion.
To unscrew the covers, first release the interlocking devices (one at each cover). Therefore
unscrew the M4 head screw with internal hexagon socket set using a HEX or Allen key no. 2.5
until the interlocking device can be turned. After the covers are screwed back onto the housing,
make sre that the interlocking devices are properly refitted.

6.1 Measuring principle
The TIDALFLUX 2000 is an electromagnetic flow sensor with an integrated capacitive level
measurement system, designed for electrically conductive process liquids. The flow rate Q(t)
through the tube is: Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)
v(t) = flow velocity of liquid product
A(t) = wetted area of tube section.
The flow velocity is determined on basis of the known electromagnetic measurement principle.
The two measuring electrodes are located in the lower part of the measuring tube, on a level of
approx. 10% of the inner diameter of the pipe in order to get a reliable measurement up from a
level of 10%.
An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulating pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of
the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * DU = v * k * B * D
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = distance between electrodes
Q(t) = v(t) x A(t), in which
Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)
TECHNICAL DATA 6
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. The signal voltage is quite small (typically 1 mV at v = 3 m/s / 10 ft/s and
field coil power of 1 W). Finally, a signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it
(separate from noise) and convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.

The wetted area A is computed from the known inside diameter of the pipe by the patented
capacitive level measurement system that is built into the measuring tube liner. The required
electronics unit is accomodated in a compact housing that is mounted on top of the measuring
sensor. This electronics is connected to the remote IFC 300 F converter by means of a digital
communication line.

6.4 Dimensions and weights
The inner pipe diameter should match the inner diameter of the flowmeter. Since the inner
diameter is not a standard DN size, choose the inner pipe diameter to be just a little bit bigger
than the flowmeter diameter. If a lot of sediment or fat is expected the optimal solution is to
produce a diameter compensation ring on both sides to have smooth transits.

6.5 Measuring accuracy
The measuring accuracy for partly filled pipes and completely filled pipes are different. In these
graphs it is assumed that the velocity at full scale value is at least 1 m/s (is also the standard
value for calibration, since it will result in the most accurate measurements).
Partly filled:
• v @ Full Scale ≥ 1 m/s / 3.3 ft/s: ≤ 1% of Full Scale
Fully filled:
• v ≥ 1 m/s / 3.3 ft/s: ≤ 1% of MV
• v < 1 m/s / 3.3 ft/s: ≤ 0.5% of MV + 5 mm/s / 0.2 inch/s (see following graph)
