Detailed Embodiment
[0015] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-4, A liquid level measuring device for a new type of boiler drum, including a drum 1. A positive pressure side primary valve 2 is fixedly installed at the lower right of the drum 1, and a negative pressure side primary valve 3 is fixedly installed at the upper right of the drum 1. The right end of the positive pressure side primary valve 2 is fixedly connected to a drum positive pressure side flange 4, and the right end of the negative pressure side primary valve 3 is fixedly connected to a drum negative pressure side flange 5. The right end of the drum positive pressure side flange 4 is fixedly connected to a single chamber container 6, and the single chamber container 6 is fixedly connected to the drum negative pressure side flange 5. A drain valve 7 is provided at the lower end of the single chamber container 6. By providing the drain valve 7, it is convenient to drain sewage in the single chamber container 6. A transmitter positive pressure side mating flange 8 is fixedly installed at the lower right of the single chamber container 6. By providing the transmitter positive pressure side mating flange 8, it is used to maintain the water level in the single chamber container 6. A transmitter negative pressure side mating flange 9 is fixedly installed at the upper right of the single chamber container 6. By providing the transmitter negative pressure side mating flange 9, it is used to install a ball valve.
[0017] The specific implementation process of the present utility model is as follows: The single chamber container 6 is cylindrical, with a diameter of 80 cm and a height slightly greater than the distance between the positive pressure side primary valve 2 and the negative pressure side primary valve 3 installed on the drum 1. On one side, the drum positive pressure side flange 4 and the drum negative pressure side flange 5 are installed and connected to the positive and negative pressure ports of the drum 1. On the other side, the transmitter positive pressure side mating flange 8 and the transmitter negative pressure side mating flange 9 are installed at the same height and connected to a double flange differential pressure transmitter. The upper side is sealed, and the lower side is installed with a ball valve for sewage discharge. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the water level will be consistent with the water level in the drum 1. At the same time, the steam in the drum 1 can automatically condense into water after entering the single chamber container 6, forming the flow of water, ensuring that the temperature of the single chamber container 6 is in a relatively high and stable state. With the change of the outdoor temperature, the temperature of the single chamber container 6 changes from 95 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, and the density of water changes little, so the measurement is accurate;
[0018] The double flange differential pressure transmitter measures the liquid level in the container by using the pressure difference generated by the self - gravity of the liquid. The low - pressure side above measures the steam pressure, while the high - pressure side below measures the pressure generated by the liquid level in the container plus the steam pressure. The pressure difference between the high - and low - pressure sides is the pressure generated by the liquid level;
[0019] The positive and negative pressure tapping flanges of the double flange differential pressure transmitter are not on the same horizontal plane. Since the silicone oil inside the capillary will generate a pressure difference, this pressure difference value is removed as the static pressure difference value. It is necessary to zero the meter head when the single chamber container 6 is empty;
[0020] Let △P be the differential pressure signal received by the transmitter, P0 be the internal pressure of the container, P + be the pressure on the positive pressure side of the transmitter, P - be the pressure on the negative pressure side of the transmitter; ρ be the density of the liquid in the container; g be the acceleration due to gravity; h be the height of the liquid level; h1 be the height difference between the positive and negative pressures.
[0021] Then there is:
[0022] P + = P0 + ρgh
[0023] P - = P0
[0024] ΔP = P + - P - = ρgh
[0025] When the liquid level is 0, the differential pressure ΔP measured by the differential pressure transmitter is 0, and the output current is 4 mA. When the liquid level is h1, the differential pressure ΔP measured by the differential pressure transmitter is ρgh1, and the output current is 20 mA.
[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
