Press Release Summary:
Developed for use in diesel and biodiesel, Model 2UF allows contactless and wear-free monitoring of fluid levels in vehicle tanks. Sensor measures surface of fuel with 1 mm resolution over measurement range up to 1.2 m. Unit operates in harsh conditions and at temperatures of -40 to +105°C. Because medium in tank is constantly in motion, wave movements or sloshing caused by reflections at tank wall are eliminated through damping, and do not directly affect measurement result.
Original Press Release:
Elobau Introduces Ultrasonic Fuel Level Sender
Sensor specialists at elobau are expanding their level detection product line for off-highway vehicles. The new 2UF ultrasonic fuel level sender from elobau allows contactless and wear-free monitoring of fluid levels in the vehicle tanks.
The ultrasonic pulses are generated and emitted in the head of the sensor. These are reflected by the surface of the fluid and returned back to the sensor. The current fluid level is calculated by measuring the propagating time, and a current or voltage signal output is provided.
The ultrasonic fuel level sensor was specially developed for use in diesel and biodiesel, and thanks to the high reliability and long service life gained from the contactless and wear-free technology, is the ideal choice for agricultural, material handling and construction machinery.
The sensor measures the surface of the fuel with a resolution of up to one millimeter over a measurement range of up to 1.2 meter. It has been designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The corresponding temperature drift is compensated thanks to the electronics integrated in the sensor. Because the medium in the tank is constantly in motion in mobile applications, wave movements or sloshing caused by reflections at the tank wall are eliminated through damping and do not directly affect the measurement result.
An optional focus tube, made of diesel-resistant PA6, focuses the ultrasonic waves and stabilises the measurement range if positioned at an incline or if there is sloshing inside the fuel tank. The focus tube also increases the maximum achievable measurement length.
elobau is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of non-contacting sensor technology and has representatives in more than 28 locations around the globe. Our customers in industry and vehicle manufacturing profit from our flexibility in development and our reliability in production. Flexibility, customer-orientation, quality, promptness and superior service will continue to guide elobau’s efforts in the future.
