The float-type level gauge for the carbon tetrahydrocarbon and water levels will not float!
Thread Content
At my installation site, there are float-type level gauges for measuring the levels of carbon tetrahydrocarbons and water. In winter, the float cannot rise after heating is applied; it functions normally once the heating is turned off. Why can’t the float rise after heating is applied? Also, how should one prevent freezing in winter under such conditions?
You mean the level remains at zero, right? Butane has a low boiling point; by using heating, the two are mixed together, which reduces the density of the medium
A float, right? It’s always submerged in the liquid material – how can it float, then~~~? That damn dog – it’s clearly just a stick or iron rod, so why the hell is it called a “float”? Ugh, this guy is really a monster – he dresses up as a woman to solicit customers on the street. . . . . . :P.
Is it the excessively high heat tracing temperature that causes the two materials to mix or melt together? Without a clear boundary between the two, it is difficult for the float to detect the interface
I agree to using electric heating; if that doesn’t work, a small temperature controller can be added to cut off the power when the temperature exceeds a certain level and restore power when it falls below that level.
It is recommended to replace heavy type heating with lighter types; for example, steam heating can be replaced with water heating. As mentioned earlier, electric heating can also be used. Additionally, the steam heating line should be separated from the float by a certain distance, and the insulation layer should not be too thick, as excessive heating will definitely cause the light medium to vaporize or make layering difficult
Change the gauge; use a double flange one, and there will be no problems.
The heating steam was turned up too high, causing the C4 to vaporize.
