Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Silo, bunker
Measuring range up to:
40 m
Medium:
Ash
Process temperature:
-40 … +150 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Extreme dust generation
Application
The burning of coal creates huge quantities of ash. It is collected in a silo or bunker and then dumped into an open pit. To determine the filling height, radar transmitters and level detectors are deployed in the respective vessels.
