Abstract:
A turbine meter is supported within a housing and produces signal pulses proportional to flow. An injector valve to the input side of the meter is connected to a pressurized additive tank through a linear valve. The valve includes a tapered shaft axially positioned in a flow orifice. A converter converts the pulses to an analog signal. A set point generator establishes a scaled signal which is connected with a line pressure compensating signal and the analog signal to an amplifier to produce an analog error signal driving a servomotor to position the linear valve shaft and a feedback potentiometer. A slotted connection to the valve shaft permits relative axial shaft adjustment for accurate setting relative to the potentiometer. The feedback signal is summed with the error signal to correspondingly position the valve. The servomotor unit and the control valve are secured within the housing with the additive tank to be releasably secured to the top wall. A minimum flow valve is connected in the additive flow line to selectively stop flow of additive.
