Bin-Level Switch is designed for fly ash applications.
Press Release Summary:
Utilizing stable oscillator core which exhibits almost no drift with process temperature changes, heavy duty Gladiator Admittance switch is capable of detecting products having low dielectric constants, such as fly ash. High temperature ceramic insulation withstands temperatures up to 450ºC, while rugged 36 mm stainless steel sensing element withstands heavy impact loads without bending or damage. Lighter duty versions and Teflon® insulated versions are also available.
Original Press Release:
Hawk Measurement Introduces the Gladiator Admittance Switch Product Line for a Reliable Solution to the Problem of Detecting Fly Ash Levels.
Hawk Measurement, a leading global provider of level, positioning and flow measurement technology, has introduced the Gladiator Admittance switch product line, which solves the problem of detecting fly ash levels and eliminates the need for regulatory, safety and administrative concerns when using radiometric (gamma/nuclear) devices.
Application Problem:
There is a need in the power industry to measure the bin level inside fly ash hoppers under an electrostatic precipitator. Traditional capacitance devices provide a lower cost alternative with limited success. The low dielectric constant of fly ash and the temperature extremes makes a reliable setting for a traditional capacitance probe difficult.
Hawk Measurement's Solution:
The Gladiator Admittance series extends the performance of capacitance and RF probes through the use of an extremely stable oscillator core which exhibits almost no drift with process temperature changes. High stability allows for increased sensitivity when setting switch points which greatly improves the ability to reliably detect products having lower dielectric constants. High temperature ceramic insulation, that withstands temperatures up to 450ºC/842ºF, is used in development of the Gladiator heavy duty probe for fly ash applications. The rugged 36mm stainless steel sensing element will withstand heavy impact loads without bending or damage. Lighter duty versions and Teflon insulated versions are also available for less demanding process conditions.
