E+H Proline Prowirl F 200 Vortex Flowmeter

Advanced Vortex Flow Measurement for Steam, Gases, and Liquids

In modern industrial utility management, efficient steam distribution, compressed air monitoring, and gas accounting are critical for reducing energy waste and maintaining plant profitability. The Endress+Hauser Proline Prowirl F 200 Vortex Flowmeter represents a premier flow measurement solution designed specifically to meet international vortex standards (ISO 12764) while providing unmatched accuracy across demanding industrial processes. As an experienced global distributor of industrial automation and process control instruments, we supply authentic, brand-new Endress+Hauser field devices to support international plant engineering and maintenance projects.

The Prowirl F 200 operates on the Karman vortex street principle, where a bluff body generates alternating vortices proportional to fluid velocity. Supported by a robust, drift-free capacitive DSC sensor (Differential Switched Capacitance), the meter is exceptionally resistant to pipe vibrations, water hammer, and thermal shocks. Whether measuring saturated steam, superheated steam, compressed air, nitrogen, natural gas, or industrial water, the Prowirl F 200 delivers consistent, highly repeatable measurement accuracy.

Integrated Energy Management & Wet Steam Detection

Managing steam quality and energy consumption requires precise multi-variable data capture. The Prowirl F 200 can be configured with integrated temperature and pressure sensors, transforming a single inline flowmeter into a complete energy management station.

• Integrated Temperature & Pressure Compensation: Automatically calculates corrected mass flow, standard volume flow, and heat energy flow for steam and gases without requiring external transmitters.

• Wet Steam Detection (Optional): For DN 25 to 300 (1 to 12″) pipelines, the meter can detect wet steam conditions in real time, preventing energy billing errors and protecting downstream equipment from moisture damage.

• Inlet Run Compensation: Built-in sensor algorithms compensate for restricted straight pipe inlet runs, saving valuable piping space on tight skids and congested utility headers.

Cost-Effective Two-Wire Loop-Powered Architecture

Traditionally, multi-variable vortex flowmeters required complex four-wire power systems or separate communication loops. The Prowirl F 200 features genuine two-wire 4-20 mA HART loop-powered technology, enabling seamless integration into existing control architectures while minimizing wiring complexity and installation costs.

The instrument is housed in a robust, dual-compartment aluminum or stainless steel enclosure rated for harsh industrial environments, ensuring long service life in outdoor utility yards or hazardous processing zones.

Embedded Diagnostics with Heartbeat Technology

To comply with strict ISO 9001 quality frameworks and internal safety requirements, the Prowirl F 200 integrates Endress+Hauser’s Heartbeat Technology. This onboard diagnostic and verification suite continuously monitors sensor health, electronics, and measuring performance in the background without interrupting active processes. Plant technicians can run automated verification checks on-demand and generate traceable verification reports for regulatory audits and preventive maintenance schedules.

Applications

• Steam Generation & Distribution: Saturated and superheated steam monitoring, boiler efficiency testing, and steam energy accounting in power and manufacturing plants.

• Compressed Air & Utility Networks: Totalization and leakage monitoring of compressed air, industrial gases (nitrogen, oxygen, CO2), and cooling water loops.

• Chemical & Petrochemical Industry: Process gas and liquid utility metering where robust, drift-free long-term stability is required.

• Food, Beverage & Life Sciences: Auxiliary steam loops, CIP utility water monitoring, and secondary plant utility management.
