The guided-wave radar technology is a preferred choice since it ensures higher plant availability and these transmitters provide more level detection capabilities even under harsh conditions
Wet leg DP Pressure measurement.
An insrument called the Hydrastep.
I works by sending electric current through water and steam at the same time and gives you an indication proprtional to the resistance of steam and water.
A differential pressure transmitter would be sufficient
we use it in our steam heater.
The Guided wave radar transmitter is the best method of level measurement in boiler steam drum.
The guided-wave radar technology ensures higher plant availability as these transmitters provide more level-detection capabilities even under harsh conditions. Completely independent of density changes - no algorithms needed to be programmed in the control system
You save time and money, and reach a stable level signal
Fit for applications with temperatures up to 450˚C (842 ˚F) /400 bar (5801 psi); if more, traditional dp level is used and density correction calculation are offered
The drum level is measured using a differential pressure transmitter. The output of the instrument increases as the differential pressure decreases. A typical range is 30 inches of water column. A condensing reservoir is installed to allow the high side of the D/P to measure the steam pressure plus the hydraulic pressure in the reference leg. The low pressure side senses the boiler drum pressure, the weight of the water above the low pressure tap and the weight of a column of saturated steam from the high pressure tap to the water level. Being a differential pressure device, the boiler drum pressure is canceled out of the measurement, leaving only the water column pressure difference.
The level measurement is accurate only at a single drum pressure. If needed, a pressure measurement can compensate for varying drum pressures by applying a gain and bias to the drum level signal.
