Measuring task
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point
Surge bin
Measuring range up to
15 m
Medium
Soft coal and hard coal
Process temperature
-40 … +50 °C
Process pressure
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges
Large measuring ranges, dust exposure and intense filling noise
Application
In a typical coal power plant, lignite (soft coal) and anthracite (hard coal) are stored temporarily in bins up to 15 meters high. To ensure that the coal belts are continuously loaded without interruption, a robust and reliable level measuring system is required. Additional point level detectors are used to prevent any overfilling of the bins.
