Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of two-phase flow measurement of electrical tomography (ET for short), in particular to a working condition of real-time change of liquid medium characteristics in a two-phase flow medium.

Background

In modern industry and engineering, the method of conveying solid and oil substances through pipelines by utilizing water power is widely applied. The volume ratio of each phase in the two-phase fluid needs to be measured in real time in the conveying process, the distribution condition of each phase on the measured cross section is reflected, the conveying and construction operation is guided, the conveying process is improved, the conveying efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

In industrial and engineering applications, in recent years, the two-phase flow measurement technology of electrical tomography (ET for short) is greatly developed by the fact that the two-phase flow measurement technology has no radiation and large ratio of the measurement area to the cross section area of a pipeline, can realize the measurement of the volume ratio of each phase, and can also provide two-phase flow distribution information on the cross section. There are many patents in this respect, which are searched for prior published patents. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN108007500A, entitled "sensor system for measuring concentration and velocity by electrical resistance chromatography", describes the measurement of concentration and velocity of multiphase flow. Chinese patent publication No. CN103235013B, entitled "non-contact integrated capacitance/resistance bimodal tomography measuring device and method", discloses a chromatographic multiphase flow measurement analysis technique. Chinese patent publication No. CN1344929A, entitled "electrical resistance tomography apparatus for gas/liquid two-phase pipe flow monitoring and monitoring method", discloses a chromatographic multiphase flow measuring apparatus. The common characteristic is that the distribution and the proportion of each phase of the two-phase fluid are analyzed and measured by utilizing the electrical tomography technology, and the method relates to the sensor technology, the signal generation and acquisition processing and the image reconstruction algorithm. The above prior art schemes are directed to the working condition that the liquid conductivity in the two-phase flow medium does not change in real time with the environmental condition, and the liquid conductivity cannot realize the function when changing in real time with the environmental condition.

Accordingly, it would be desirable to have a new Electrical Tomography (ET) two-phase flow measurement system that overcomes or at least mitigates the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.
