Summary
This case introduce the advantages of Piezoelectric overfill sensor on the loading process.
With the
popularization of oil tanker for bottom loading, tanker trucks are basically equipped
with overfill probes and sockets. There are many brands on the market with
varies of prices, but they all face the same problem: high temperatures in
summer and false alarms caused great confusion to the fleet and drivers. After
the tanker truck arrived at the oil depot, due to the failure of the probe
rods, oil could not be loaded, and resources were wasted, causing considerable
losses to the fleet.
At present, most
common overfill probes on the market are based on the photoelectric principle
(based on the principle of light reflection and refraction). The infrared light
emitted from the infrared transmitting end is reflected by the crystal prism to
the receiving end. When the probe senses liquid, the light is refracted. The
receiving end cannot receive the infrared light emitted by the infrared
transmitting end, and is finally detected by the circuit board and converted
into a different electrical signal.
Advantages: low cost
and low price, so it is more favored by customers.
Disadvantages: 1. The
maximum operation temperature is usually 60 °, and some can reach 80 °. In
summer, the temperature of the oil in the tanker truck basically reaches 90 °,
and some of the probe sensors will fail due to the high temperature in the
tank, and will not work. 2. The oil products are constantly shaken during
transportation, and are easy to generate oil and gas under high temperature,
which will condense on the surface of the probe prism, making the light signal
unable to reflect to the receiving end. Therefore, the photoelectric probe is
easy to be disturbed and send out false alarm signals.
How does the 120 °
high temperature resistant probe UZK-DL solve the above problems?
Piezoelectric
principle: similar to the tuning fork principle, it is excited by a crystal to
generate vibration. When the liquid level sensor is immersed in the liquid, its
vibration frequency changes. The change is detected by the electronic circuit
and outputs a switching signal.
01 The use
temperature can reach 120 °, which can be used safely in summer
Operating temperature
of piezoelectric probe: -40 ° ~ + 120 °. Under the high temperature environment
in summer, it can work normally in the tanker tank that reaches 90 °, and has
been verified by a third-party inspection agency, so it can be used safely.
02 "Piezoelectric" working principle,
free from oil and gas interference
Only under the
condition of liquid immersion, the vibration frequency of the sensor will
change, which will generate an alarm signal. This working principle is not
affected by bubbles, condensation of oil and gas, and has strong
anti-interference. It will not be interfered by oil and gas during the
transportation of oil products, and it works normally without false alarm.
03 With S02
self-check socket of sub-warehouse, one-button self-check
The S02 self-check
socket can detect the status of the probe rods (normal, faulty, not connected)
and the grounding status of the tanker by pressing one button, ensuring that the
probe rods and grounding are normal, without climbing to the tank to inspect,
and improving work efficiency. Through one-button self-test, failure of the
probe can be detected at any time, and it can be replaced and repaired in time.
04 With SLA-S-IVB
flagship static grounding and overfill protection, display separately
Working with the
SLA-S-IVB flagship static grounding and overfill protection, the LCD color
display screen displays the anti-overflow status and grounding status of all
positions of the tank truck at any time. The driver can intuitively know the
equipment status information during the loading process.
05 National invention
patent, stable performance and long service life
Piezoelectric probes
were widely used in oil rack and oil storage tanks for high-level alarms in the
early days. They have been verified by field applications for more than 20
years, and the use effect is stable and reliable. The service life is up to 10
years.
Piezoelectric probe,
high temperature resistant, long life, low failure, stable performance!
Solving the problem
of false alarms and frequent replacement of probes, it is worth your choice!
