Chloropropane is a commonly used organic solvent, which is very common in the chemical industry. Its liquid level monitoring is particularly important.
Today, based on the characteristics of chloropropane and combined with measurement cases, we will discuss the application of radar level meter in chloropropane liquid level measurement.
Chloropropane is a colorless, transparent liquid with a low boiling point and high volatility. It can dissolve a variety of organic compounds and is therefore often used as an industrial solvent.
However, it is precisely these characteristics that require special attention to changes in the liquid level of chloropropane during storage and handling to avoid spills or other potential safety risks.
Among the many level measurement technologies, radar level meters are favored for their non-contact measurement method.
This technology calculates the distance and then determines the liquid level by emitting microwave signals and receiving the reflected signals.
Since radar waves can penetrate steam and foam, radar level meters are particularly suitable for measuring volatile liquids such as chloropropane.
In order to improve the storage safety of chloropropane, a chemical plant decided to install a radar level meter for real-time monitoring.
When selecting the radar level meter, engineers considered the following factors:
First, considering the high volatility of chloropropane, a radar level meter with a higher frequency was selected so that the changes in the liquid level could be captured more accurately.
Secondly, since chloropropane is corrosive to a certain extent, an instrument made of corrosion-resistant materials was selected to ensure long-term stable operation.
Finally, in order to facilitate remote monitoring and data analysis, a device with an intelligent communication interface was selected. After installation, the radar level meter successfully achieved real-time monitoring of the liquid level of the chloropropane storage tank.
Through continuous data collection, the chemical plant can detect abnormal changes in the liquid level in a timely manner and take corresponding measures, which significantly improves the safety of the storage process.
In addition, the intelligent communication interface also enables data to be remotely transmitted to the control room, providing operators with a convenient monitoring method.
Radar level meter has shown its unique advantages in the liquid level measurement of chloropropane. By rationally selecting the equipment model and taking into account the particularity of the actual application environment, the radar level meter can not only provide high-precision measurement results, but also adapt to the harsh working environment, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the chemical production process.
