Wake Frequency Problems

Graphs The graphs here show the maximum lengths possible for a given process velocity for a variety of popular thermowell designs. All graphs assume the thermowell material to be 316 Stainless Steel, at an operating temperature of 20ºC. For different materials and process temperatures, a correction factor must be applied, as determined from the graph shown overleaf. These graphs are intended for guidance only, and if in doubt, a formal calculation should be completed. Please contact our sales department for further details, and for specific calculations which are not catered for here. Note that the Thermocouple Instruments Ltd software package for solving wake frequency problems, WFCalc, is available for purchase. Please refer to data sheet TM-SW/WFCA.

Example What is the maximum length of a 20 mm diameter parallel profile thermowell, with 6.2 mm bore, in Monel -1 400, given that the fluid velocity is 6 ms and the operating temperature is 300ºC? From the graph, the maximum length of the thermowell is 400 mm. The correction factor, from the graph overleaf is 0.94. The actual maximum length is given by Lma x= 400 ´ 0 . 94 = 376 mm

When fluid flows past a thermowell inserted into a pipe or duct, vorticies form at both sides of the well. These vorticies detach, first from one side, and then from the other. This phenomenon is known as the Von Karmann effect. The frequency of shedding of these vortices is a function of the diameter of the thermowell, the fluid velocity and, to a lesser extent, the Reynolds number. The vortex shedding subjects the thermowell to a periodic transverse force. As the vortex shedding frequency approaches the natural frequency of the thermowell, the thermowell will oscillate, and is liable to snap off. (The natural frequency of the thermowell is a function of its shape and material of manufacture.) The Von Karmann effect must be taken into account when designing thermowells of sufficient strength to withstand service conditions, and generally thermowells are chosen such that the shedding frequency is always less than or equal to 80% of the natural frequency.
