Liquid level sensors are widely used in monitoring and control systems across various industries, including petrochemical, environmental protection, water supply networks, reservoirs, power plants, locomotive braking systems, thermal power units, light industry, metallurgy, building automation, and more. They play a critical role in applications such as constant pressure water supply, industrial process control, and laboratory calibration. However, traditional liquid level sensors have limited functionality and often struggle with complex environments. With the advancement of wireless technology and evolving customer needs, wireless level sensors have gained popularity and are now being adopted in numerous sectors.
The working principle of wireless liquid level sensors typically involves ultrasonic or radar technology. These sensors measure the distance by sending out a signal and calculating the time it takes to return after reflecting off the surface of the liquid. There are two common methods: one uses a direct wave, suitable for height measurement, while the other relies on reflected waves, commonly used in rangefinders. This design employs the reflected wave method, which is widely applied in radar-based wireless level sensors.
Radar radio level sensors are among the most popular types of wireless sensors due to their high accuracy and reliability. They operate using high-frequency signals, often up to 26 GHz, and calculate the liquid level based on the time difference between the transmitted and received signals. While these sensors perform well in many industrial settings, they do have limitations. For example, they are not ideal for use in medical environments, especially in areas that require strict hygiene standards like disinfection equipment. The antenna design—typically flared or whip-shaped—can collect dust and dirt, making it difficult to meet CIP (Clean-in-Place) or SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) requirements without excessive cleaning costs.
As technology continues to evolve, future innovations may address these challenges, leading to more versatile and hygienic wireless level sensor designs. This could expand their application into new fields, particularly those requiring high cleanliness standards. In the coming years, we can expect further improvements in performance, durability, and adaptability, making wireless level sensors even more essential in modern industrial and scientific applications.
