Ø Third, the measurement principle

 

This product is a tuning fork design principles using liquid level switch. Piezoelectric crystal to the natural frequency of the tuning fork vibration of a tuning fork. For the change in frequency can be continuously monitored. When the product is used as a low alarm, the liquid in the vessel drains down past the fork, causing the natural frequency changes, this change is detected by the electronics, thereby switching the output state. When used in high alarm, the liquid in the container rises in contact with the fork again the output switches.

Selecting the natural frequency of the tuning fork (about 1300Hz), a device to prevent the interference of vibration, which may cause false switching operation, the length of the tuning fork so that the length of the shorter pipe extends into the container or the shortest, due to the design of the product with short fork technology, can be used in virtually all liquid applications. Numerous studies have been designed to make the fork to the highest operating frequency, so that the product is suitable for all liquids, including coating liquids (avoid bridging of forks), aerated liquids and slurries.

 

Ø Fourth, application examples

Prevent overflow

 

In charge will spill over human and environmental harm caused by full,resulting in loss of production and increased cleaning costs, change device is a limit switch, readily available for overflow signal.

 

Pump Protection

 

Short Fork wet side of the insertion length of the shortest, and can be easily installed at any angle in the pipe or vessel, thus reducing installation costs. With the fork projecting only 2 inches (50mm) (depending on the connection type), the device can even be installed on small diameter pipes, direct load switch by selecting the option of electronic components, equipment, ideal for reliable pump control, and the available to prevent the pump running dry.

 

High and low level alarm

 

The product is room to store all kinds of the highest and lowest level of detection of different liquids storage; the ideal choice. Ruggedized device can run continuously at temperatures up to 302 ° F (150 ℃) environment and operating pressure up to 1450psig (100barg), making it especially suitable for high-level alarm. Customary practice is to install a separate high-level alarm switch, so that in case of failure to provide additional standby switch.

 

Leak Detection

 

Flanges, gaskets, seals ,, a corrosive liquids under adverse conditions, they are likely to leak. Most users of the site tanks and container is mounted on the base plate or in the protective body in order to prevent liquid leakage. The product can be quickly and accurately detect any leakage, so the cost can be significantly reduced.

 

Pump Control

 

Many parts have a batch process and elevated storage tanks,usually need to control the pump to reach the level set point. These tanks are usually fabricated with materials thinner, and therefore can not withstand heavy instrument.

 

Health Applications

 

Due to the highly polished surface finish provides a tuning fork (Ra) better than 0.8um, the product meets the basic design of the standard diet and pharmaceutical applications with the most stringent requirements. Better than stainless steel, the product has sufficient durability, can withstand routine steam cleaning at temperatures up to 302 °F (150 ℃) when the (cleaning in place CIP).

 

Ø Fifth.Application and Installation Best Practices

 

Application Considerations

 

1. Make sure the liquid is at a predetermined temperature and pressure within the scope (see Technical Specifications)
2. Check whether the viscosity of the liquid in the recommended range of 0.2 to 10000cp.

 

1. Examples of products with a higher viscosity include: chocolate syrup, ketchup, peanut butter and bitumen. Switch can still detect these products but it will be a long time emissions.
2. Check the liquid density is greater than 37.5 lbs / ft ³ (600kg / m³).

 

1. Examples of products with lower densities include: acetone, pentane and hexane.

 

1. Check whether the risk of product aggregation fork exist.

 

1. avoid excessive drying and coating products cause aggregation situation.

 

1. Ensure no risk of bridging the tuning fork.

 

1. can cause bridging of forks examples include: thick pulp and asphalt.

1. Check whether the solids content of the liquid.

 

1. If the product coating and drying conditions caused by excessive aggregation.

 

1. As a guide, the liquid's largest solid particle diameter 0.2 "(5mm).

 

1. In dealing with the particle diameter is larger than 0.2 "(5mm) requires special consideration may consult factory.

 

1. Foam

 

 

Ø Six recommended installation

 

1. Always install in the normal "open (on)" status.

 

1. For high level, at (Dry) opens.

 

1. For low level, wet (Wet) opens.

 

1. Always be sure to use the machine magnetic pilot during commissioning of the system for debugging.

 

1. Ensure sufficient space for installation and electrical connections (see size chart).

 

1. Avoid making it easy to install the equipment in contact with the liquid in the tank filling point into the tank location.

 

1. Avoid large amounts of liquid spilled on the tuning fork.

 

1. Make sure the fork is not, or interfere with any internal parts in contact with the tank wall objects.

 

1. Make sure the tank wall between aggregates fork and keep enough distance.
