The tuning fork liquid level switch plays an important role in the liquid level measurement of ship LPG.
The working principle of the tuning fork level switch is to drive the tuning fork to vibrate through the resonance of the piezoelectric crystal.
When the tuning fork is immersed in a liquid medium such as liquefied petroleum gas, the damping effect of the liquid causes the vibration frequency to change.
Internal electronic components detect this frequency change and convert it into a standard electrical signal, which is transmitted to the control device to issue a start or stop command.
Tuning fork level switches have significant advantages in level measurement of liquefied petroleum gas. It is suitable for almost all liquid media and is not affected by foam, vortex and gas, so it can accurately reflect changes in liquid level.
In addition, because the tuning fork level switch has no moving parts, it does not require frequent maintenance and adjustments, reducing maintenance costs.
In the ship environment, LPG liquid level measurement needs to take into account various complex factors, such as ship movement, liquid fluctuations, and the influence of the external environment.
The stability and reliability of tuning fork level switches make them an ideal choice. It can monitor the liquid level of LPG in real time and accurately to ensure the safe operation of ships.
In addition, the tuning fork level switch is easy to install, debug and maintain, making it convenient for ship staff to operate and manage.
Therefore, tuning fork liquid level switches have been widely used in liquid level measurement of liquefied petroleum gas on ships, providing important technical support for ensuring the safety and stable operation of ships.
It should be noted that when using a tuning fork level switch to measure the level of liquefied petroleum gas, relevant safety operating procedures need to be followed to ensure the safety of the operator.
At the same time, the liquid level switch also needs to be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation and accurate measurement.
