Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of liquid level gauges, and particularly relates to a purging device for a radar liquid level gauge. Background Art

[0002] At present, most liquid sulfur storage tanks use radar liquid level gauges to measure the liquid level in the tank. However, due to the characteristics of liquid sulfur, heat preservation steam needs to be introduced into the tank, resulting in a large amount of sulfur-containing steam in the tank. These steams rise to the top of the tank and are discharged outside the tank through the discharge port. A small part of the sulfur-containing steam will accumulate on the surface of the radar liquid level gauge probe and the flange short joint to form crystals, interfering with the emission and absorption of radar waves and causing radar measurement distortion.

[0007] The purging port is cylindrical, a flange plate is arranged at the end of the purging port, a flange plate is arranged on the outer wall of the purging pipeline, the purging pipeline is inserted into the purging port and is hermetically connected with the purging port by flange.
