Issues with the magnetic level gauge display in liquid ammonia storage tanks

2015-12-26View Original

Thread Content

In our plant’s liquid ammonia storage tanks, the level gauges exhibit a red and white pattern regardless of whether they are in a disconnected state or in operation. There is also a sound of water flowing inside the level gauges; this phenomenon is more noticeable when the temperature rises. What causes the red and white pattern on the level gauges? How to solve it?

The magnetic force of the magnetic flip plate or float is insufficient, or the distance between the float and the magnetic flip plate is too large.

Regarding demagnetizing the magnetic flap, activate it with a strong magnet.

This situation can occur when the float gets stuck or freezes due to low temperatures. It is recommended to use an external-mounted level gauge, which requires no drilling, no use of fire, and no contact with the medium. There are many examples of such applications in horizontal and spherical ammonia storage tanks; feel free to contact me for more details! Scan the WeChat profile picture!

Just check it with a magnet; if it has been in use for a long time, the magnets on the red and white rods might not be strong enough

The magnetism of the magnetic flap may have decreased, and it’s also possible that it’s stuck; try brushing it with a magnet to see

Haha, learning *knowledge now – magnets alone are enough. Thanks!
