Liebherr sensors

The self-sufficient measuring device for precise water content/moisture determination in the running process guarantees the highest quality and safety in EX-protected production environments, the further processing and refinement of very many emulsions and bulk materials.

The PC software enables fast and accurate calibration of the measured sections.

Liebherr offers sensors for the following device protection categories:

Gas EX-protection:

II 1/2 G Ex db/ia IIC T4 Ga/Gb*

Dust EX-protection:

II 1/2 D Ex tb/ia IIIC T135°C Da/Db*

*Subject to type approval

The sensors are installed directly in pipes or in tanks.

The sensors are used, for example, in oils, crude oils, paints, lacquers, ethanol, solvents as well as in bulk materials under explosive conditions.

Markets

The WMS II sensors are permitted for the following markets:

In addition to their high precision and robustness, the measuring devices from Bad Schussenried are characterised by their reproducibility.

Once the system has been calibrated, further measuring points can be set up or devices renewed on this basis at any time without great effort. The plant thus always remains reliable, regardless of its previous term and age.

Voordelen

  • Indirect measuring method: Capacity determination in the high frequency stray field. This method uses the different dielectric constant (permittivity) of water and different materials (solids and liquids)
  • Fully reproducible sensors: If the plant is subsequently extended with sensors or if sensors are replaced, no recalibration is necessary thanks to the built-in microprocessor.
  • Process control and regulation: Thanks to extensive interfaces, the moisture measurement can be integrated into process control systems and controls.
  • Cost saving: Time-consuming and costly laboratory analyses are no longer necessary or can be reduced.
  • Temperature measurement/temperature compensation: The sensor can also be used to determine the temperature of the medium.
  • Limit values: Maximum or minimum limits can be set using the software. Light or sound signals can be triggered if required.
  • Mean value calculator: The sensor passes on already averaged values to the FMS evaluation and transfer module.
  • Compressive strength: The rod sensor withstands process pressures of up to 100 bar.
  • Sliding fitting: For cleaning, flushing or sensor replacement, the sliding fitting can be easily pulled out of the pipeline even under these circumstances without disturbing the process.

Accessories

  • Pressure sensor: The pressure sensor measures the pressure of the pipeline or tank system. (only on P45-GD rod sensor)
  • Flange: Use the flange to connect the sensor to the pipeline, tank system or bulk solid receptacle
  • Sliding fitting: With the sliding fitting you can mount the sensor on tank systems (rod sensor). The sliding fitting allows the sensor to be changed quickly without having to empty and depressurise the tank.
  • External display and control unit: The display and control unit is mounted up to 50 m away from the sensor in an easily accessible position. It is connected directly to the electronics of the sensor and powered by it.
  • Software: for start-up and configuration.
