Application

The solar heat captured in the mirror system of a thermal solar plant is transported via a heat transfer fluid (HTF) to the steam generator at the central turbine. The HTF normally has a temperature between 300 °C and 400 °C. There are different containers for the fluid across the plant and the varying temperatures cause volume changes to the HTF that need to be accurately measured to operate the plant safely and profitably.

Your benefit

Reliable
Highly overload-resistant measuring systems
Cost effective
Accurate level measurement for optimal utilization of the container volumes
User friendly
Easy instrument selection: one sensor version fits all tank sizes
