Top flow instrumentation manufacturer
Premium flow meter device provider: Radar level meter adopts non-contact measurement, and has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, not affected by process conditions, easy to install and easy to maintain, so it is widely used in offshore oil platforms in recent years. Today, we would like to take you through several actual cases in offshore oil platform to understand the reasons and solutions of the radar level meter’s measurement value jumping. The first case was an oil field where the radar level meter in the left crude tank jumped to full scale several times during production. A sealed metal cover was used to cover the main body of the sensor, and during the test, it was found by connecting the radar level transmitter that the closed metal cover would result in more false signals throughout the measurement range, and the overall noise line would rise.

Measuring principle of radar water level meter: The radar level gauge adopts the working mode of transmitting-reflecting-receiving. The electromagnetic wave emitted by the antenna is reflected by the surface of the measured object and then received by the antenna. After measuring the distance from the water surface to the radar antenna, the elevation of the water surface can be calculated according to the elevation of the radar antenna. The radar water level meter adopts pulse wave technology with low power consumption. It can be powered by two-wire 24 VDC, 485 interface output, or can be directly powered by 12 VDC, SDI-12 interface output, with high accuracy and wider application range.
Level Measurement Considerations: Taking advantage of a specific technology’s ability to reliably address the level measurement in either of these vessels, especially the blowdown flash tank, in a plug-and-play type installation and commissioning format is an easy way to ensure optimal performance. This forgoes calibration, external hardware or inputs. Estimates of up to 49 percent of the energy can be recovered through the use of flash steam routed to heat exchangers or the deaerator to preheat boiler makeup water or support the deaeration process, respectively. In addition, better level control technology at the boiler side eliminates energy losses resulting from unnecessary blowdown to prevent carryover conditions.
Advanced Radar Level Measurement: The constant progress of innovation continues to push the limits of radar level measurement, propelling this technology into areas of capability and pertinence. As industries undergo transformations and integrate the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) into their operational processes radar devices have evolved to meet these changing demands. Integration with IIoT- Leading the Way to Industry 4.0 One of the transformative developments in radar level measurement is the seamless integration of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities into radar devices. These radar sensors equipped with IIoT features have become important components in Industry 4.0 initiatives ushering in an era where data driven excellence prevails in operations.

Thermal interference. During the operation of the thermal power plant, its thermal equipment will generate a lot of heat, causing changes in the surrounding instruments and ambient temperature. This is what we call thermal interference. These disturbances can affect the components of the magnetrol radar level gauge and further create problems such as inaccurate measurements. Light interference, light interference mainly exists in semiconductor components. Many components used to control instruments are made of semiconductor materials whose conductivity changes under the influence of light. This will affect the normal use of the radar level gauge.
Application conditions, application conditions generally include calm liquid level, slightly fluctuating surface, turbulent surface, with stirring, with foam and so on. The more complex the conditions, the more interference echoes, and the smaller the actual measured range. In a complex environment, a precision radar with strong ability to deal with interference echoes or an antenna with a larger size should be selected.
So what can be done about these difficulties? Under the condition of strong dust, on the one hand, the radar with high transmitting energy can be selected, on the other hand, the measurement software with continuous measurement algorithm of wave-loss waiting can be selected. When the radar encounters strong dust, it will not misjudge the measurement result even if the radar loses wave for a short time. After entering the state of continuous measurement algorithm, if the reflection wave of real material surface can be recognized within the set waiting time, the correct measurement value of material surface can be obtained. In the past, only a few foreign radars have this function. At present, there are also domestic radars with this function, and the practical application effect is very good.
For the ultrasonic instrument that continuously measures the liquid level, when the temperature of the liquid to be measured changes greatly, the change of the propagation speed of the sound wave should be compensated. The connecting cable between the detector and the converter should take anti-electromagnetic interference measures. The structure of the ultrasonic level sensor should be determined according to the process requirements and on-site working conditions.
Working principle: Tube in the liquid level meter has a magnetic float, float design, according to the proportion of medium float magnet steel and container liquid level at the same level, wholesale liquid level gauge in a semiconductor magnetel liquid level gauge sensor LED display scale, and orderly arranged from top to bottom, and LED module corresponding to the magnetic field magnetic sensor, the magnetic semiconductor, triggering the corresponding digital circuit, liquid level above the red LED display, The LED below the liquid level gauge is displayed in green, the red in gas phase, and the green in liquid phase. The red-green junction is the actual liquid level in the container.
