Intrinsically Safe Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch with NAMUR Output for Coal to Ethylene Glycol Liquid Level Measurement Ethylene glycol is a chemical commonly used in many commercial and industrial applications including antifreeze and coolant. Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is mainly used for two purposes, as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, sweet-tasting, viscous liquid. At present, there are three main processes for the preparation of ethylene glycol from coal-based, which are direct method, olefin method and oxalate method. Among them, oxalate method uses coal as raw material, and the so-called "coal to ethylene glycol" also refers to this process. Jiwei’s client, a clean energy company in Jiangsu Lianyungang has been using liquid level switch for level measurement in coal powder pressurized convey device of ethylene glycol production, which requires the sensors have high performance. Three Risk Factors in Coal to Ethylene Glycol Production 1. Toxic Methanol, sodium nitrite, dimethyl oxalate and ethylene glycol produced in coal to ethylene glycol production are toxic and harmful substances. They have strong irritation to eyes, skin and mucosa. 深圳计为自

2. High Temperature In coal to ethylene glycol production, dimethyl oxalate is produced in the synthesis reactor at 120 ~ 145 ℃, and ethylene glycol is produced in the hydrogenation reactor at 170 ~ 210 ℃. As the high pressure steam temperature is up to 500 ℃, and the steam temperature used in the heat exchanger and distillation column in the whole reaction zone is above 100 ℃, the sensors should withstand the temperature above 100 ℃. 3. Inflammable and Explosive The medium in ethylene glycol production is inflammable, explosive and hazardous, so requires high performance sensors with explosion-proof...
