Abstract: A vortex flow transmitter (10) has a filtering circuit (20) receiving a noise contaminated input signal representative of the flow and which has a fundamental frequency varying responsively to flow. The filter (20) filters the input signal using one of a family of HP filter characteristics. Each member of the family of HP filters has varying corner frequencies, each filter having a unique switchup and a unique switchdown value assigned to it. Adaptive response means (40) select a current HP filter for use in the filter means. The adaptive means use one selection method when the flow is increasing and another selection method when the flow decreases. Output means (52) convert the signal from the filter means into a transmitter output, typically a 4-20 mA current or a frequency output representative of the flow.

Abstract: An ice detector circuit for sensing an ice deposition on a sensing surface of an ice detector probe from an air mass flowing relative to the probe. The probe includes a heater to heat the sensing surface and a temperature sensor for sensing the sensing surface temperature during heating. The temperature sensor provides the circuit with an output having a level varying as a function of the sensing surface temperature. The circuit includes a controller which selectively energizes the heater, a timer which provides a timing output representative of a time interval elapsed between selected temperature sensor output levels, and computing means, such as a microprocessor, which computes an output representative of ice deposition as a function of a predetermined relationship between ice deposition and the timing output.

Abstract: A vortex sensor used in a vortex flowmeter that has a single sensing diaphragm parallel to the direction of flow that is sensitive to differential pressures caused by vortices shed by a vortex shedding bar associated with the sensing diaphragm. A beam is attached to the sensing diaphragm and it transfers the deflecting motion of the sensing diaphragm due to differential pressures to a sensor external to the flow passageway. The sensor provides an output indicating motions of the beam caused by the beam pivoting when the sensing diaphragm deflects. The beam preferably is pivoted on a relatively rigid, fluid-tight isolator diaphragm with one end of the beam on the outside of the isolator diaphragm. The sensing diaphragm which is used to measure differential pressure rejects variations in the static pressure, that is, increases and decreases of the static pressure on both sides of the diaphragm, which is a common source of problems with existing vortex flowmeter sensors.

Abstract: A transmitter for measuring a process variable includes a sensor configured to couple to a process and having a sensor output related to the process variable. A microprocessor coupled to the sensor output provides a process variable output which is a function of an orthogonal-polynomial of the sensor output. A transmitter output is configured to provide an output related to the process variable.
