- Abstract:
- A new design for a diverter and weighing tank system has been developed. Experiments have been carried out on a prototype. Diverter wings are set as partitions on a diameter line of a half-cylinder tube. The axis of rotation is at the center of the half cylinder and runs parallel to liquid jets that flow vertically downward from several independent nozzles. This design contributes to small diverter liming error, compact design, small wet area, a simple and robust mechanism, easy implementation of an ISO4185 test, and easy adjustment of diverter trigger timing. After adjustment of start and stop signal timings, the estimated diverter timing error of this system falls within ±1 msec over a wide range of flow rate at any nozzle position.
