Abstract

The Annubar flowmeter of Condensate Polishing System (ATE) in booster pump outlet is important parameter for monitoring full-flow treatment of the Second-Loop condensate, and is also the reference for adjusting booster pump. In this paper, it analyzes the flowmeter principle and fracture analysis report in detail, and it confirms that the mechanical fatigue is the main reason for flowmeter fracture. By analyzing and comparing the feasibility of the application of flowmeter in this system, the Annubar flowmeter with double-end fixed installation method is proposed to deal with the fracture problem. Through practice, this method can solve the problem of mechanical fracture.
