Radar Level Sensor: Core Equipment for Non-Contact Online Level Monitoring in Industrial Water Systems
Liquid level is a crucial process parameter for chemical storage tanks, wastewater regulating ponds, pump station tanks, and reservoirs. Traditional float level gauges and submersible hydrostatic level gauges require direct contact with the medium, making them prone to corrosion, scaling, and sediment accumulation. Ultrasonic level gauges are susceptible to distortion in environments with steam, dust, or foam. Radar level sensors (radar level transmitters) utilize FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) microwave technology. The device is installed above the liquid surface, performing level measurement completely non-contactly, unaffected by media corrosiveness or steam/mist interference. Measurement Principle and Core Advantages The mainstream technologies are non-contact FMCW frequency-modulated continuous wave radar and guided wave radar. FMCW Non-Contact Radar Level Sensor: The antenna transmits a continuously modulated microwave signal. The microwaves are reflected from the l...
