Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of absorption tower liquid level meters, and particularly relates to an automatic alarm device for an absorption tower liquid level. BACKGROUND

[0002] Absorption towers are widely used in industrial production. In a wet flue gas desulfurization system, the liquid level of the absorption tower is an important operating parameter. If the liquid level of the absorption tower is too high, the reaction liquid will overflow the absorption tower, which not only causes waste of the reaction liquid and increases operating costs, but also can cause environmental pollution accidents. If the liquid level of the absorption tower is too low, the amount of reaction liquid in the absorption tower is insufficient, which cannot meet the requirement of sufficient contact and reaction between flue gas and the reaction liquid, and causes a decrease in desulfurization efficiency, so that SO2 in the flue gas cannot be effectively removed, and the content of SO2 in the discharged flue gas exceeds the standard, which causes atmospheric environmental pollution.

[0003] Because of the importance of the liquid level of the absorption tower to the operation of the wet flue gas desulfurization system, a reliable liquid level measuring device is needed to monitor the liquid level in the absorption tower. Because the environment in the absorption tower is high temperature, high humidity and full of corrosive gas, the working environment is harsh, therefore, an automatic alarm device for the liquid level of the absorption tower is provided, which reduces the influence of environmental factors on the stability of the device through a relatively simple mechanical structure, and realizes detection and automatic alarm of the liquid level of the absorption tower.

[0004] At present, commonly used liquid level measuring devices include differential pressure type liquid level meters, float ball type liquid level meters, radar liquid level meters and ultrasonic liquid level meters. However, the existing liquid level measuring devices have the following defects in the measurement of the liquid level of the absorption tower: the differential pressure type liquid level meter needs to install a pressure lead pipe on the absorption tower, the pressure lead pipe is prone to blockage, leakage and other problems, which increases the difficulty of maintenance; the mechanical structure of the float ball type liquid level meter is relatively complex, and is prone to failure in a harsh working environment (such as high temperature, high humidity and corrosive gas); the radar liquid level meter can be disturbed when measuring a liquid containing a large amount of solid particles or foam, which causes the measurement signal to be unstable and affects the reliability of the measurement result; the presence of flue gas in the absorption tower can interfere with the propagation of ultrasonic waves, which reduces the measurement accuracy.

[0005] In view of the above defects, the present application provides an automatic alarm device for the liquid level of the absorption tower, which realizes detection and automatic alarm of the liquid level of the absorption tower through a relatively simple mechanical structure. SUMMARY
