EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM for evaluating the capabilities of distributed thermoprophilometers in various applications

Electronic Measuring Rail level meters built on distributed temperature sensors can successfully compete with other meters and similar systems for solving problems in the production, processing, storage and transportation of liquid and bulk products. In some cases, their use has no alternative.

Features of the “Electronic measuring rail”:

– simultaneous control of the level and multiple boundaries of the media partition according to the installation profile;

– simultaneous temperature control over the entire continuous profile;

– the ability to measure the level in the dynamics of the upper filling of the storage (capacity);

– the ability to measure the flow velocity along the profile by the heat exchange coefficient of the sensor sections with the medium (media);

– the possibility of installation in aggressive environments and conditions of mechanical loads is determined only by the characteristics of the outer protective shell of the sensor element (sensor cable).
