Anti-heeling system
Level measurement and point level detection in the ballast water tanks
Level measurement and point level detection in the ballast water tanks
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
10 m
Medium:
Water
Process temperature:
0 … +30 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 1 bar
Special challenges:
Pressure surges, fast measurement changes, corrosive seawater, ship approvals
Application
Ship heeling caused by high winds, uneven cargo loading or the forces of sharp turns is counteracted by anti-heeling systems. To counter these conditions, ballast tanks are connected to each other by means of pipe systems. Depending on the attitude of the ship, the tanks are either blown out or flooded by means of compressed air blowers or pumps. Reliable level measurement is needed to control this system.
