在无尽的海洋中守护着陆地的安宁VEGAPULS 6X雷达液位计一代保护者 Liquified Gas

LNG将成为未来能源，这是很多运输从业人员的共识——LNG燃烧几乎不产生烟尘，温室气体排放水平明显更低，这些都是它的环保加分项。相较于传统能源，LNG（液化天然气）和LPG（液化石油气）还具备经济优势，因此液化气行业越发受到关注。

LNG尤其在船舶运输行业备受青睐，越来越多的集装箱船和邮轮都选择将天然气作为动力。但只要是有液化气的场合，就必须将安全放在首位，因为液化气具有低温且易燃易爆的特性。VEGAPULS 6X雷达液位计提供的测量值，可助力液化气应用降低风险、优化生产过程。

雷达liquid level meter in LNG measurement faces three major challenges:

01 Material must be solid and durable.

VEGAPULS 6X adopts non-contact measuring principle, unaffected by temperature, density, and pressure when measuring liquid levels. The instrument's metal structure is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, effectively preventing temperature from affecting sensitive electronic components. This reliable thermal barrier enables the gauge to measure accurately at temperatures as low as -196°C. Therefore, the instrument's casing and PTFE antenna that matches the surface are suitable not only for acidic or alkaline liquids but also for low-temperature applications.

02 Low permittivity of liquids.

Liquidized gases like LNG and most petroleum industry products have very low permittivities that make it difficult for radar signals to reflect back. VEGAPULS 6X uses an 80GHz radar frequency capable of detecting even weak reflections with a signal strength of up to 120dB.

03 Requires material removal during installation.

In LNG applications, users often require instruments that can be installed through valves into containers for easy disassembly after filling. Therefore, in such applications, measuring instruments need to be installed above ball valves. VEGAPUS X has a strong focus ability ensuring that ball valves will not affect measurements negatively.

Full-spectrum safety assurance

Safety is paramount in the extraction, processing, storage, and transportation stages of LNG and LPG production processes. VEGAPULS 6X provides full-spectrum safety assurance meeting the needs of liquefied gas industries:

Functional safety: VEGAPUS X features outstanding SIL (Safety Integrity Level) indicators ensuring necessary operational safety.

Network security: Compliant with IEC62443-4-2 standards satisfying strict data transmission access restrictions.

Self-diagnostic functionality: The gauge comes equipped with an internal self-diagnostic system able to identify potential threats affecting its performance enhancing device availability & reliability.
