The Important Role of Differential Pressure Sensors in Hydroelectric Power Generation
Ravi JethraIn hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow …
WIKA Submersible Pressure Transmitters Solve the Challenges of Sump Pit Level Measurement
Ravi JethraThe varied nature of the liquid waste in sump pits can create difficulties with accurate level measurement . WIKA’s submersible transmitter avoids these problems by measuring the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid in the sump pit. Power plants and refineries, …
Differential Pressure Transducers Are Ideal for Monitoring Gas Turbine Air Filters
Ravi JethraThe air filters of gas turbines at power plants eventually get clogged with particulate matter and sludge, decreasing operating efficiency and power generation. Turbine filters must be monitored for cleaning or replacement as required. An ideal solution is to use a …
Using Pressure Sensors to Monitor Fluid Level
Robert LukatPressure sensors can be used to monitor the fluid level of enclosed vessels. Accurate output signals are key to keeping equipment and processes operating safely and efficiently, especially when working with small tanks and low pressure ranges. The market offers …
