Reasons for the failure of magnetic flap level gauges
Thread Content
When the company produces trifluoromethane, magnetic level gauges installed in the distillation towers, crude tanks, and refined tanks often fail to function properly; sometimes ice forms on the outside of these magnetic level gauges. I would like to know how people deal with such failures of magnetic level gauges
If freezing is a concern, one with a steam jacket should be chosen.
Can a flap-type level gauge have a jacket? What if it’s caused by non-condensable gases inside the tower?
The jacketed magnetic flap level gauge is available as a product. Specifically, you need to check the medium used in your industrial control system; if this format is adopted, will it cause any changes in the materials? If this approach is not viable, then it is necessary to consider, on the basis of what currently exists, what causes the freezing, and whether it can be resolved through external methods such as insulation.
Heating is necessary, but care must be taken to prevent the material from vaporizing.
The magnetic flap valve can be equipped with a steam jacket, vacuum insulation, and more. Feel free to contact me if you need anything; I’ll be here all the time
Steam tracing and electric tracing can both be used for magnetic flap level gauges.
Inside the tank is trifluoromethane, a refrigerant; the tank is under pressure
Could you specify exactly what causes the failure: stuck float, float leakage, demagnetized magnet, or intermittent problems? . .
There is no problem with the float; to be precise, the level gauge itself is fine. However, it may stop functioning due to freezing or an excess of non-condensable gases in the tower
Experts, which domestic magnetic flap manufacturer offers reliable quality?
