Hey there,
I am having a hard time understanding how this differential pressure transmitter is working for a certain application.
Okay so the Low side of the transmitter has a capillary liquid filled sensing line with a flange connection. It is about 20 feet lower then the actual transmitter unit. This flange connection is just upstream of a heat exchanger.
The High side of the transmitter also has a capillary liquid filled sensing line with a flange connection. This connection is about 2 feet higher than the transmitter unit. The flange is downstream of the heat exchanger. I believe upstream of this flange is a turbo expander which creates a vacuum pressure on this point.
I am mainly confused because when i plug my hart into the transmitter the URV is -197 Kpa and the LRV is 57 Kpa. When I blow down both points and open each side (high and low) to atmosphere I read 60 Kpa for the PV on my Hart. Why is that? Also, in our control room the span for the transmitter is 0-250 Kpa and when I blew it down in the control room they saw about 30 Kpa.
Any help understanding this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
