Product catalog summary
Introduction
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) is a widely used material in the new energy industry, particularly in lithium-ion batteries. Accurate level measurement of this material is crucial for safe and continuous production due to its unique physical properties, such as strong water absorption, easy agglomeration, and unstable dielectric constant.
Challenges in Level Measurement
The physical properties of lithium iron phosphate make it challenging to measure accurately and select an appropriate level switch. Various level switches have been compared for their effectiveness in measuring lithium iron phosphate levels.
Comparison of Level Switches
  • Rotary Paddle Switch: Prone to mechanical issues due to poor sealing and heat dissipation, leading to motor burnout.
  • Capacitive Level Switch: Inaccurate due to dynamic changes in dielectric constant and probe fragility.
  • RF Admittance Level Switch: Similar issues as capacitive switches with dielectric constant variability.
  • Tuning Fork Level Switch: Susceptible to false alarms due to material agglomeration.
  • Vibrating Rod Level Switch: Offers better sealing and stable measurement unaffected by dielectric constant changes. It is available in single and double rod structures, with the double rod offering superior sensitivity and anti-hanging performance.

Level measurement of Lithium Iron Phosphate with Vibrating Rod Level Switch-1

Level measurement of Lithium Iron Phosphate with Vibrating Rod Level Switch Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) is a type of lithium-ion battery using LiFePO, it is widely used in new energy industry. The accuracy of Lithium iron phosphate level is an important parameter to ensure safe production, which also directly affects the production continuity. Physical properties of lithium iron phosphate Due to its strong water absorption characteristic, lithium iron phosphate has the following physical properties: 1. Strong adsorption performance; 2. Easy to agglomerate; 3. Dielectric constant is in dynamic state and unstable. The above properties of lithium iron phosphate make it both difficult to be measured the level and hard to select a proper level switch. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of various level switches At present, the most commonly used level switches are rotary paddle switch, capacitive level switch, RF Admittance Level Switch, tuning fork level switch and vibrating rod level switch: 1. Rotary paddle switch is a kind of mechanical level switch, when the paddle is covered by measured material, the motor stops rotating and its power is switched off automatically. Due to its poor sealing, lithium iron phosphate can easily enter the gap between bearing and oil seal at the end of the shaft, then the shaft may get stuck. In addition, poor heat dissipation of the motor also leads to motor burn out problem. 2. Capacitive level switch uses two sensing electrodes, to output level signal by detecting changes in capacitance between electrodes. The capacitance value is closely related to the 深圳计为自

dielectric constant of material. However, the dielectric constant changes dynamically due to water absorption of lithium iron phosphate, which results in inaccurate measurement. Besides, the stiffness of capacitance probe (made of teflon) is weak, so the probe is easy to be bent and damaged when blocky material impacts the probe. 3. RF admittance level switch is similar to capacitive level switch in measuring principle, the changing dielectric constant is also the obstacle to accurately measure the lithium iron phosphate level. 4. Vibrating fork body of tuning fork level switch is easy to agglomerate...
