How Oil Level Sensors Work
The oil level monitoring process begins with the strategic placement of sensors:
- For closed tanks: Sensors are securely mounted on the tank lid.
- For open tanks: Sensors are suspended above the liquid surface using a rod or rope.
Once in position, these sophisticated devices employ advanced measurement techniques:
Measurement Process
- Wave Emission: The sensor emits a specialized wave (typically ultrasonic or radar) directed towards the oil surface.
- Signal Reflection: Upon reaching the oil’s surface, the wave bounces back towards the sensor.
- Time Calculation: The sensor precisely measures the time elapsed between wave emission and reception of the reflected signal.
- Level Determination: Using the speed of the wave and the measured time, the sensor calculates the distance to the oil surface, thus determining the oil level.
- Data Collection: In addition to level information, the sensor gathers other relevant telemetry data, such as temperature or pressure, depending on its capabilities.
This non-invasive method allows for accurate, real-time monitoring of oil levels without direct contact with the liquid, ensuring reliability and longevity of the sensing equipment. The collected data is then transmitted to the central IoT platform for analysis and visualization.
