Application of Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor in Water Gate Control

Water conservancy and hydropower projects are renewable energy and one of the main projects for sustainable development. The rational use of natural resources and the effective use of water conservancy and hydropower project-related equipment are indispensable to promoting and achieving sustainable development. Gates play an irreplaceable and important role in the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects. Gates are not only the most important hydraulic structures in the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, but also water-blocking structures and drainage structures. Their most important function is to prevent drainage.
As an important facility for regulating water volume and preventing floods, sluice gates need to be opened and closed according to the changes in real-time liquid levels. In flood control and prevention, water level data monitoring is the basis of the automated monitoring system, providing important data support for the safe operation and unified dispatching of sluice gate projects. Based on water level data, the capacity, flow , pressure , etc. of the water body can be accurately calculated, which is very important for the opening and closing of sluice gates, the calculation of water body capacity, and the measurement of flow velocity upstream and downstream of the gate body, which effectively ensures the safety of sluice gate projects.
With the full implementation of the standardized management process of water conservancy projects, sluice projects have entered a new mode of “equal emphasis on construction and management”. Liquid level sensors can be installed on the sluice wall to achieve remote control and automatic management of the sluice by monitoring the liquid level changes. The automatic collection of water level data is the basis for the safe operation and management of sluice projects. The use of high-quality ultrasonic level meters can help managers to conduct system inspections and maintenance in a timely and effective manner, effectively ensuring the safe operation of sluice projects. An American SENIX remote ultrasonic level sensor – ToughSonic REMOTE 50 from Gongcai.com .
Remote Ultrasonic Level Sensor – ToughSonic REMOTE 50 is a remote level sensor with a detection distance of 50 feet (15.2 meters). This digital sensor is designed for accuracy and long-term durability in remote monitoring applications with an ultrasonic sensor stainless steel housing. With a stainless steel housing, full epoxy potting and IP68 rating, it operates in harsh climate conditions. It is equipped with SenixLightning Guard, a system that protects power and communication circuits from repetitive electrical transients up to 7 kilovolts. ToughSonic REMOTE 50 uses 20% less energy than ToughSonic 50. It can be fully configured through SenixVIEW software . This sensor is installed on bridges, docks and tanks around the world in mission-critical remote level monitoring applications.
