Standpipe should be insula-
ted to avoid boiling in stand-
Drainpipe most be placed at
an angle of 5
-
10°, to avoid oil
pockets in standpipe.
Sensor must have a minimum
of 50 mm between the sen-
sor weight end and the
bottom of the pipe.
The following applies to the design of the system:
•
It must be installed in a vertical position
•
Sensor must have a minimum of 50 mm between the sensor weight end and the bottom of the pipe.
•
The sensor must be installed in an overflow or standpipe where the flow stream and turbulence are minimized.
•
The sensor must be mounted in a standpipe bigger than DN25. Standpipe must be insulated to avoid boiling of refrig-
erant.
•
The outlet pipe from standpipe shall be mounted in an angle of 5
-
10 degree from horizontal to secure drainage and oil
pockets in refrigeration systems.
•
The sensor is installed and is supplied with a standard non
-
shielded cable.
If EMC is greater than described in EN 61326, a shielded cable must be used.
The wire sensor is designed for level measurement of liquids in vessels like,
tanks, pump separators and receivers . The sensor can be mounted in a
standpipe from
1”
(25mm) up to
4”
(100mm) diameter or directly in a vessel
with an inner pipe from
1”
(25mm) up to
4”
(100mm) diameter. The inner
pipe is needed to create sufficient measuring signal and to avoid a swinging
wire in a lively fluid. To reduce wire movements in larger pipes a special
weight can be used.
