  • Method of operating a Coriolis mass flowmeter and coil for use in said method
    Patent number: 9482567
    Abstract: A method of operating a Coriolis mass flowmeter in which common or even great forces for oscillation excitation can be guaranteed, and at the same time, with which the risk of flashover is reduced in explosion-proof surroundings is implemented using an actuator assembly (4) that has at least a first conductor (11) with windings (12) and at least a second conductor (13) with windings (14), the windings of the conductors being arranged parallel to one another and insulated from one another at least in the area of their windings (12, 14), in which the first conductor and the second conductor are supplied with current that is at least temporarily in the same direction in the operating state, and a common magnetic field is created in which partial magnetic fields of the conductors are structurally superimposed.

  • Coriolis mass flowmeter having an actuator assembly with a parallel winding of a first and second conductor
    Patent number: 8943899
    Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter in which common or even great forces for oscillation excitation can be guaranteed, and at the same time, with which the risk of flashover is reduced in explosion-proof surroundings is implemented in that the actuator assembly (4) has at least a first conductor (11) with windings (12) and at least a second conductor (13) with windings (14), the windings of the conductors being arranged parallel to one another. Also, the first conductor (11) and the second conductor (13) are insulated from one another at least in the area of their windings (12, 14) and the first conductor (11) and the second conductor (13) are connected in such a manner that the first conductor (11) and the second conductor (13) can be supplied with a current in the same manner in the operating state so that a common magnetic field is created.
