Product Detailed Description

• Technology: Kongsberg liquid sensors utilize various technologies depending on their function.
  • Water-in-Oil sensors (GP100/GP101): Use a capacitive sensor element to measure water activity (aw​), a scale from 0 to 1 where 1 means the oil is fully saturated. They can detect both slow water content increases and sudden contamination.
  • Temperature sensors (Pt100/Pt1000): Employ Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) elements, typically Pt100, which change resistance with temperature. They are specifically designed to meet international standards for custody transfer, especially for liquid gases.
  • Level/Water Ingress Sensors (GL-10): Often employ a capacitive or solid-state design with no moving parts, making them highly resistant to clogging. They function as a switch, triggering an alarm when a liquid is detected at a certain level.
  • Radar Tank Gauges (RTG): Use a non-contact FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) microwave technology to measure ullage/level in tanks from above.
• Construction: The sensors are built with rugged, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel (e.g., AISI 316) and are often encapsulated or molded into a flexible cable for easy installation. Their design prioritizes long-term service and resistance to harsh marine conditions.
• Output: Common output signals are 4-20 mA, which allows for robust, long-distance signal transmission and is a standard in industrial control systems. Some sensors also have visual LED indicators for local status checks (e.g., green for OK, yellow for pre-alarm, red for main alarm).

Product Parameters (Typical Ranges)

Product Advantages

• High Reliability & Accuracy: Engineered for precision in critical applications, ensuring consistent and trustworthy data.
• Robust and Durable: Designed to withstand the demanding environments of the maritime industry, including vibrations, high pressure, and corrosive liquids.
• No Moving Parts: Many models, especially the level and water ingress switches, have no moving parts, making them highly resistant to clogging and requiring minimal maintenance.
• Real-time Monitoring: Provide continuous, real-time data, which is crucial for leak detection, machinery health monitoring, and safety.
• International Standards Compliance: Manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of international maritime and industrial standards (e.g., SOLAS, DNV, IEC).
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Compact designs and features like ball-valve solutions (for hot-swapping sensors) simplify installation and reduce downtime.

Precautions

• Proper Installation: Adhere strictly to the instruction manuals. Incorrect installation, such as improper mounting or wiring, can lead to equipment damage or inaccurate readings.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the sensor is used within its specified operating temperature and pressure ranges. While rugged, they are designed for specific conditions.
• Safety: The products and their manuals contain high-voltage and hazardous area warnings. Only qualified and authorized personnel should install, operate, or maintain the equipment. Follow all safety protocols, especially when working in hazardous environments or with high-voltage systems.
• Correct Selection: Choose the correct sensor type and model for the specific liquid and application. For example, ensure media compatibility with the sensor’s materials.
• Firmware and Software: Utilize the appropriate software and ensure firmware is up-to-date for optimal performance and integration with control systems.
• Contamination: For sensors like the water-in-oil monitors, ensure the oil or liquid is within the specified cleanliness and filtration standards to avoid sensor damage or inaccurate readings.

Product Applications

• Maritime Industry:
  • Cargo Management: Level, temperature, and pressure monitoring in cargo tanks for oil, chemicals, and liquefied gases (LNG, LPG).
  • Engine Room Automation: Monitoring oil and fuel systems for water content, temperature, and pressure.
  • Safety & Compliance: Water ingress detection in cargo holds and other spaces to meet SOLAS regulations.
  • Ballast & Service Tanks: Level and temperature monitoring.
• Oil & Gas Industry:
  • Offshore Platforms: Monitoring of drilling fluids, lubricants, and storage tanks.
