What type of level gauge is suitable for detecting the liquid level in a reactor?
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: For regular reaction vessels (those with agitators on the top), what type of level gauge is suitable for detecting the liquid level inside the vessel, considering that foam may form in the liquid? Are radar waves suitable?
Generally, for reaction vessels equipped with agitators and having a small capacity, i.e., below 25 m3, weighing is the method used
It depends on the medium and the required precision. For media for which the accuracy requirements aren’t very strict, differential pressure measurement can be used. If money allows, radar sensors can be employed. In reactors where there is extra space, a sleeve can be installed to enable direct measurement; as an even cheaper alternative, a floatable rod can be used: lol
Can the weight of a mixing tank be kept stable? High-pressure mixing; flexible connections are inconvenient.
Modern high-frequency radars can penetrate foam; for applications involving pressure, differential pressure level gauges are a reliable choice.
Thank you all for your suggestions, fellow sailors. Currently, double-flange diaphragm level gauges are also used online, but due to the problem of foam formation, the foam-containing level observed by on-site personnel differs from the level indicated by the remote transmitted level gauge.
