Marine Oval Gear Fuel Flow Meter
Marine Oval Gear Fuel Flow Meter is a positive displacement flow meter designed for accurate measurement of fuel consumption and liquid flow in marine applications.
The meter uses two precision-machined oval gears inside the measuring chamber. When fuel passes through the meter, the gears rotate and transfer a fixed volume of liquid per revolution, allowing accurate calculation of fuel flow.
Due to its high accuracy, stable performance, and ability to measure high-viscosity liquids, Marine Oval Gear Fuel Flow Meter is widely used in:
Marine diesel fuel systems
Fuel oil supply systems
Bunker fuel measurement systems
Engine fuel consumption monitoring
Ship energy management systems
Overview
Working Principle of Marine Oval Gear Fuel Flow Meter
Marine Oval Gear Fuel Flow Meter works based on positive displacement measurement technology.
Two oval gears rotate inside the measuring chamber. Each rotation transfers a fixed volume of fuel through the meter.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fuel enters the measuring chamber |
| 2 | Fluid pressure drives oval gears to rotate |
| 3 | Each gear rotation transfers a fixed volume |
| 4 | Rotation is converted into flow measurement |
| 5 | Display shows flow rate and total consumption |
