A radar level meter is a commonly used level measurement device that can be applied in various industrial fields. In the chemical industry, polyether polyol is widely used in polyurethane production, so it is very important to measure the liquid level of polyether polyol tanks accurately.
In this paper, we will analyze the application of radar level meters in the level measurement of polyether polyol tanks with an actual measurement case as an example.
In a polyurethane production plant, they use radar level meters to measure the level of polyether polyol tanks. Polyether polyol is a viscous liquid, and the traditional level measurement methods often have some problems, such as being susceptible to temperature and pressure changes and to changes in the nature of the medium.
The radar level meter has the characteristics of non-contact measurement, high accuracy, and strong anti-interference ability, so it is chosen as the ideal choice for measuring the liquid level of a polyether polyol tank.
Before installing the radar level meter, engineers first carried out the design and parameter setting of the system. They selected a radar level meter suitable for polyether polyols and set the appropriate operating frequency and measurement range according to parameters such as the dielectric constant and liquid density of polyether polyols.
In addition, they also took into account the shape and size of the tank and made adjustments to parameters such as beam angle and signal processing to ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurement. After the installation, the engineers calibrated and tested the radar level meter.
They used a standard level meter for comparison and verified the consistency of the radar level meter’s measurement results with the actual level. After several tests and adjustments, they confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the radar level meter.
In actual operation, the radar level meter has shown good performance. It can measure the liquid level of the polyether polyol tank stably and transmit the data to the control system in real-time.
Engineers can monitor the level of the polyether polyol tank in real-time through the monitoring system and take control measures in time to ensure the stability and safety of the production process. Compared with traditional liquid level measurement methods, a radar level meter has many advantages.
Firstly, it does not require direct contact with the medium, avoiding the problem of medium contamination and corrosion. Secondly, the radar level meter has high anti-interference ability and can adapt to the harsh industrial environment.
Again, it has high accuracy and long-term stability, which can meet the requirements of the production process for level measurement. In a word, the radar level meter has a wide application prospect in the level measurement of polyether polyol tanks. Through reasonable design and parameter setting, it can accurately and stably measure the liquid level of a polyether polyol tank and provide important data support for the control and management of the production process.
