Abstract

Eddy current flowmeters are developed for measuring the sodium flow rate in the outlet of the primary sodium pump used in sodium cooled fast breeder reactor. A fast response system is developed for enhancing the measurement of Eddy current flowmeter in monitoring the flowrate. To characterize the performance of the developed system various types of test signals are generated which will resemble the actual signal from Eddy current flowmeter. This paper deals with the generation of the various types of such signals by direct digital synthesis method using Programmable system on chip microcontroller. In addition the performance of the developed fast response system was tested using the generated signals.
