Abstract: | This paper presents a new design of rotatable sensor for ECT systems that can be mounted on a multi-phase flow installation. In order to attest how the performance of the sensor is affected by the rotatable frame, the effectiveness of the rotatable sensor is analyzed in terms of SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and image accuracy, which is dependent on the number of independent measurements, the image reconstruction strategy and the size of the mesh. The results confirm that with a sensor equipped with 16 electrodes, the optimum number of rotation steps is 3 in order to get the best compromise in terms of image accuracy and image reconstruction time. Results also show that this configuration achieves results similar to a classical sensor equipped with 32 electrodes. |
