Kobold Vortex Flowmeter, PWL
The Compact KOBOLD Type PWL flow meter works on the Vortex principle. A Karman vortex is created downstream of the sensor body, i.e. the fluid flow causes vortices to be created on both sides, and these are straightened out by the current. 

This straightening out of the vortex is proportional to the flow velocity of the medium. 

Every vortex creates a small negative pressure which is detected by a capacitive pressure pick-up and converted into an electrical pulse. A downline transducer converts the pulse signal into a standard output signal. 

The sensor's special design eliminates vibrations in the pipe-line (< 1 g to 500 Hz) by means of a primary compensation. This means that it is not necessary to adjust either the device or the zero-point. 

The necessary intake and output lengths can be shortened using the separately available flow straighteners.
