With the widespread use of pulverized coal in the energy industry, coal storage and level monitoring have become challenging issues. Radar level meter is widely used in industry as a high precision and reliable measurement technology. In this paper, we will discuss the application of radar level meters in the measurement of pulverized coal tanks by analyzing the difficulty of measuring coal tank levels and presenting a practical measurement case.
Pulverized coal tank level measurement faces some special difficulties with high temperature and dusty environments: The high temperature and dusty environments that typically exist inside pulverized coal tanks pose a challenge for level measurement.
High temperatures can cause damage to sensors and measurement devices, while dust can interfere with the transmission and reception of radar signals, affecting the accuracy of the measurement. Multiple Level Levels: Due to the uneven distribution of pulverized coal in the coal tank, multiple level levels may exist.
The traditional measurement method cannot accurately capture the level of each level, resulting in the inability to effectively grasp the storage condition of pulverized coal. Liquefaction problem: Due to the fine particle size and liquefaction-prone nature of pulverized coal, there is a certain risk of liquefaction.
Accurate data on liquefaction conditions may not be available in a timely manner using traditional measurement methods, thus preventing reasonable management and control.
A power plant faced the challenge of coal powder tank level measurement. They used traditional measurement methods but faced the problem of not being able to obtain accurate measurements and monitor the liquefaction of coal powder in a timely manner. To solve these problems, radar level meters were used as a new measurement solution.
A radar level meter with high temperature and dust resistance was selected, and a reasonable installation location was chosen.
The orientation and angle of the antenna were optimized to reduce dust interference with the radar signal and to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. Multi-level measurement: Using the multi-beam technology of the radar level meter, the level of multiple levels can be measured simultaneously.
By analyzing the data of different levels, the storage situation of coal powder can be grasped in real-time and the stock quantity can be adjusted in time.
Liquefaction monitoring and early warning: The radar level meter provides accurate real-time measurement data, enabling power plants to monitor the liquefaction of pulverized coal. Once the risk of liquefaction is detected, timely measures can be taken to deal with it to ensure production safety.
By applying the radar level meter, the power plant successfully solved the challenge of coal powder tank level measurement. They obtained accurate and reliable level data and were able to take timely measures to regulate and control the situation, improving production efficiency and production safety.
At present, a radar level meter is a better choice for measuring coal powder tanks, especially with the continuous progress and development of radar technology, radar level meter can be a more accurate measurement of material level. But when using pay attention to reasonable installation, commissioning, maintenance, etc. in order to better use the radar level meter, so that it can play the maximum advantage.
