Thermal oil expansion tank is a kind of equipment for storing thermal oil in high temperature environment, which is widely used in chemical and petrochemical industries. Due to the special characteristics of its working environment, the traditional liquid level monitoring is difficult to effectively measure its liquid level height. The radar level meter is a liquid float level monitoring equipment with greater advantages in the level measurement of thermal oil expansion tank. In this paper, we will introduce the characteristics of thermal oil expansion tanks and provide an actual measurement case to show the application of radar level meter in thermal oil expansion tanks.

Characteristics of thermal oil expansion tank level Thermal oil expansion tank level measurement is faced with the following characteristics and difficulties: High temperature: thermal oil expansion tank working environment temperature is high, generally above 200 ℃, the traditional level monitoring equipment has caused a great challenge. Liquid nature: the liquid stored in the thermal oil expansion tank is thermal oil, which is corrosive to the traditional liquid level meter. Environmental hazards: The presence of high temperature and corrosive thermal oil, coupled with some abnormalities that may occur during the measurement process, leads to the level measurement of thermal oil expansion tanks is a dangerous and complex process.

The following is an actual measurement case to show the effect of radar level meter in thermal oil expansion tank level monitoring. Case: Petrochemical plant A petrochemical plant needs to monitor the level of thermal oil expansion tank in production to ensure production safety and normal operation. However, the environment is complex, thermal oil will cause corrosion to the traditional liquid level meter, and the working temperature is as high as 250 ℃. In order to achieve safe and stable monitoring of thermal oil expansion tank level, the manufacturer adopted radar level meter for level measurement. Radar level meter can cope with the characteristics of high temperature and corrosive thermal oil, can work stably in high temperature environment, provide accurate and stable level data for the manufacturer, to protect the safety of production and working environment.

The level measurement environment of thermal oil expansion tank is extremely harsh, but the radar level meter has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which can accurately and efficiently measure the level height of thermal oil expansion tank under the complex measurement environment. At the same time, the radar level meter also has the advantages of linear adjustable, small error, reducing the possibility of misinterpretation, improving the accuracy and stability of the data. Through the demonstration of actual measurement cases, we can see the application effect of radar level meter in the level measurement of thermal oil expansion tank. In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology, radar level meter will continue to play its advantages in the field of level measurement, and provide more stable and reliable level measurement service for chemical production and other industries, so as to ensure the production safety and stability of the working environment.
