Principle of Operation: The Scanjet Electro-Pneumatic Tank Level Gauging (TLG) systems operate based on the electro-pneumatic principle. When measuring fluid levels in various types of tanks, these systems blow air through measuring pipes into the tanks. By assessing the resulting counter pressure, the TLG systems accurately determine the fluid level. Their versatility allows them to monitor water ballast tanks, fuel tanks, fresh water tanks, lube oil tanks, and other compartments.
Communication Capabilities: These systems are designed to support both digital communication and standard analog signals (DC 4-20mA). Digital communication facilitates seamless integration with ship automation systems or loading computers, enabling real-time monitoring and control. Meanwhile, the analog signal remains a reliable and widely used method for transmitting tank level data. Whether a vessel relies on modern digital networks or traditional analog interfaces, the Scanjet TLG systems offer compatibility.
Sensor Features and Durability: The robust sensors used in the Scanjet TLG systems exhibit excellent long-term stability, high repeatability, and low hysteresis. Their consistent performance over extended periods ensures accurate measurements, even in challenging marine environments. Additionally, these sensors remain unaffected by low temperatures, making them reliable across a wide range of operating conditions. Ship operators can confidently rely on the Scanjet TLG systems to maintain optimal fluid levels and enhance safety during voyages.
