August 27, 2013 - Fluidwell Instruments releases Triflex LNI 250, a “Field Time Control” (FTC) based level detection sensor, which measures from the outside of a non-metallic tank. The Triflex LNI 250 can measure conductive material in a non-metallic tank without having to be present inside that tank and therefore without product contact. The tanks even need not be transparent. Its discriminating benefits include no risks of contamination of the product, easy access for maintenance (without process interruption!) , suitable for small/complicated tanks, easy plug-and-play installation, suitable for aggressive materials or environments and insensitive to changing process conditions inside a tank.
The yield is remarkable: Lower costs, higher output in better quality and increase in reliable measurements. The Triflex LNI 250 is suitable in a wide range of applications, but especially for industries with conductive bulk products (solids and liquids) where product contact needs to be avoided (e.g. out of health reasons or with acids). Also where placement of a sensor inside a tank is not possible due to the construction of the tank (too small/complicated) or where the environment inside the tank is highly abrasive or subject to change.
The Triflex LNI 250 incorporates Field Time Control Technology (FTC). This technology generates an electric field between a transmitting electrode and multiple receiving electrodes. The cycle time of the FTC level sensor changes as soon as the solid particles are detected by this electric field. Advanced multiple receiver circuitry has been designed for reliably detecting various bulk products, (even with extremely low dielectric constants). The results are higher signals with less variation for increased reliability.
This allows for minimizing cost, increasing revenues and providing clearer visibility of the process.
