Operating Temperature Range and Cooling
Requirements
The operating process temperature range of the VL800 transducer is
- 40 °C to 450 °C, subject to the following requirements:
•
Process Temperatures of
200 °C to 300 °C
require
Air / Inert Gas
Cooling
(see Section 3.8.1.)
•
Process Temperatures of
300 °C to 450 °C
require
Water Cooling
(see Section 3.8.2.)
Malfunction of or damage to the transducer resulting from moisture or
other contaminants in the air / inert gas or water used to cool the
transducer is NOT covered by your Warranty.
2.3 Transducer Cable
The system uses a 3/8” diameter
(O.D.) cable which
•
C
arries power from the transmitter to drive the transducer’s
torsional
oscillatory motion.
•
C
arries the transducer’s response signal back to the transmitter
for analysis.
•
Carries power from the transmitter to the transducer’s
tip RTD and, if
equipped, the block RTD for temperature measurements
•
Carries the signals from the RTDs back to the transmitter for analysis
A military spec NEMA-
4X MS3102E (shell size 20) connector OR a ½” NPT cable
gland is used to connect the transducer cable to the transducer dome.
•
The maximum length of the transducer cable is 300 metres.
Alteration of the transducer cable length WILL affect measurements.
Contact Galvanic Applied Sciences prior to making any changes to the sensor
cable length.
