RF Admittance Level Switches Applied in Coal Ash Level Measurement

Product catalog summary

Introduction
A large winery in Sichuan has implemented pulse dust collectors to manage coal ash and flue gas emissions from coal fuel. These collectors use high-pressure air to clean filter bags and collect dust in an ash hopper, where level switches are necessary to monitor coal ash levels.

Specifications and Challenges
Coal is the primary fuel in Baijiu production, and its combustion produces carbon residue and flue gas. The flue gas is filtered into coal ash, which reaches temperatures of about 200℃ and becomes a dry powder with a stable dielectric constant. Initially, Rotary Paddle Switches were used for level measurement, but their IP65 protection level allowed dust penetration, causing malfunctions and false alarms.

Solution: RF Admittance Level Switches
RF admittance material level switches, specifically the Cape-11 model, were identified as optimal for this application. After successful trials, the winery ordered additional units for other production lines. Cape-11 switches are designed for fly ash, solid particles, and adhesive materials, offering several advantages:

Excellent flexibility for various materials.
External dual-color LED indicator and rotatable housing for easy observation and installation.
Modular design for high reliability and ease of maintenance.
Third-party reliability certifications ensuring high reliability.
IP66 protection level suitable for most dust conditions.

RF Admittance Level Switches Applied in Coal Ash Level Measurement-1

RF Admittance Level Switches Applied in Coal Ash Level Measurement A large Sichuan winery has equipped pulse dust collectors to control the emission of coal ash and flue gas produced by coal fuel. Dust collector uses high-pressure air to spray the dust on filter bag through the pulse valve, and then collects the dust at the lower ash hopper. At this time, level switches need to detect and monitor the level of coal ash in the ash hopper. Coal is the main fuel in the heating process of Baijiu production. The carbon residue produced by coal combustion is discharged from an outlet, but the generated flue gas is filtered by bag filter into coal ash. The coal ash after high-temperature combustion is up to about 200℃, and the coal ash becomes dry powder with stable dielectric constant after filtering. With these characteristics, RF admittance material level switches are the optimal choice for this level measurement case. To save cost, the user used to select the Rotary Paddle Switches for the measurement. However, it is found that with only IP65 protection level, the dusts can penetrate into the clutch and transmission shaft, resulting in the instrument stuck and reporting false alarm. After a stable and reliable test trial on a production line with the first batch of Cape-11 RF Admittance Level Switches, the user re-ordered a batch of Cape-11 for the remaining four production lines half-year later. 深圳计为自
