Advantages of using guided wave radar level sensors on boilers
Guided wave radar level sensor is often used in industrial production. Because of its superior performance, it is accepted by the public. It has the advantages of low maintenance cost, strong detection performance, accurate measurement accuracy, high safety, and long service life. The signal emitted by the device is not affected by the environment, atmosphere. So it can be used in a variety of special media, such as high temperature, high pressure, steam state, volatile gas, dust, vacuum environment, etc.
Today I want to share with you how to use the guided wave radar level sensor in the boiler. The high temperature and high pressure in the boiler need to use the level sensor to measure the internal liquid level to ensure its safety. The use of guided wave radar level sensors can solve the difficult problems of safety, accurate readings, and simple maintenance.
On some boilers, each boiler installation requires at least two independent water level sensors. Therefore, each boiler also needs to be equipped with two guided wave radar level sensors. Only in this way can the safety requirements for boiler operation be fully met. Guided wave radar level sensors need to use quartz tubes to observe changes in the liquid level in the furnace. However, the connecting pipes and valves need to be opened to improve the accuracy of detection. It is necessary to ensure that the probe and sensor are dry and clean during installation. If contamination occurs, it can not be wiped with a wet towel, and alcohol must be used for decontamination.
Although many cities do not yet have standard regulations on boiler level sensors. At least one intuitive level sensor must be installed, together with a guided wave radar level sensor for observation. If it is a large and complex complete set of boiler equipment, it is necessary to redesign and plan the guided wave radar level sensor and install it according to the design drawing.
If you need to measure river water level, open channel level, etc. The Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor can be used for non-contact continuous level monitoring.
Boilers usually use at least 2~3 sets of liquid level display systems according to their different sizes and uses. The selection of Level Transmitter is also different according to different requirements.
- Direct liquid level display. The purpose is to observe the liquid level most intuitively. Commonly used plate level gauges, two-color level gauges, and magnetic flap level gauges are also commonly used on low-pressure and small-tonnage boilers;
- Control Level Transmitter. It is used for automatic control signals. Usually a balance chamber is used to match a differential pressure transmitter. Immersion float level gauges are also commonly used. This type of level gauge requires the measurement principle to be directly related to the density of the medium to avoid boilers False liquid level effects;
- Level Transmitter for safety. Electric contact water level gauge is mostly used. Its characteristic is to indicate the liquid level point by point. The points are not related to each other. Breaking a few points does not affect the display of other points. The reliability is extremely high.
The Non Contact Liquid Level Sensor is not in contact with the measured medium. The Non Contact Liquid Level Sensors provided by Sino-Inst is not Gravity Non-contact Liquid Level Sensors. It is the liquid level sensor used in industrial tanks, reservoirs, and open channels. There are mainly ultrasonic level sensors and radar level sensors.
The measurement temperature of most Ultrasonic Level Sensors currently on the market is -20 to +80°C.
So, can Ultrasonic Level Sensor measure high temperature and high pressure?
The answer is no.
One customer was affected by high temperature using E+H Ultrasonic Level Sensor.
The ultrasonic level gauge can measure when the water surface is close to the probe, but cannot measure when the water surface is far from the probe. When the water temperature is low, the ultrasonic level gauge measures normally, but when the water temperature is high, the ultrasonic level gauge cannot measure. This is the measurement of the high temperature inside the pool or tank on site that affects the ultrasonic level gauge.
The reason why the E+H ultrasonic level gauge has this problem is that the liquid medium generally does not produce steam and mist below 30-40 °C. Above this temperature it is easy to generate steam or mist.
The ultrasonic wave emitted by the E+H ultrasonic level gauge will attenuate once as it passes through the steam during transmission. Attenuates again when reflected back from the liquid surface. As a result, the weak ultrasonic signal returns to the probe at the end and cannot be measured.
Moreover, in this environment, the probe of the ultrasonic level gauge is prone to form water droplets. It will hinder the transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves.
To solve this problem, we can have the following two operation options:
- To increase the measurement range, the height of the water tank is actually 3 meters. The E+H ultrasonic level gauge between 6 meters and 9 meters should be selected. The effect of steam or fog on the measurement can be reduced or reduced.
- The probe of E+H ultrasonic level gauge should be made of polytetrafluoroethylene or PVDF. Physically sealed. In this way, water droplets are not easy to condense on the emitting surface of the probe. As for the emitting surface of other materials, water droplets can easily condense.
High Temperature Level Switch refers to a liquid level switch that can measure and control liquid level under high temperature conditions.
High temperature float switches provide consistent and reliable switching points in high temperature and other extreme applications. These sensors are made of durable stainless steel floats that slide on stainless steel stems.
As the float moves over the heat-resistant internal switch, its built-in magnetic field activates the reliable switch.
The high temperature level switch can be mounted on the top of the tank, on the side of the tank, or from the bottom of the tank.
There is also a tuning fork level switch. Features of compact tuning fork level switch:
The temperature can reach 150 ℃, and it is used for general liquid level measurement at higher temperature.

Continuous Level Sensor Series
Continuous level sensors are transmitters that measure liquids within a specified range. Level sensors determine the exact amount of liquid that provides a continuous analog signal. The level signal can be displayed directly on site or integrated into a process control or management system. These products can be installed vertically and horizontally. They are ideal for monitoring liquids in confined or restricted areas.
