AI Technical Summary
Existing bicolor water level gauges are inaccurate when measuring boiler drum water levels due to temperature differences between the gauge and the boiler, which affects the safe and stable operation of the boiler drum.
The level gauge body is heated by an electric heating cable installed inside the housing. The temperature of the water sample inside the level gauge is increased by the electric heating cable to make it close to the temperature of the water inside the steam drum. Aluminum foil is covered on the electric heating cable to reduce heat radiation and conduction and improve thermal efficiency.
This improved the accuracy of water level gauge measurements, enhanced the precision of boiler drum water level measurements, and saved on energy consumption.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a double -colored water level meter, concretely relates to a heat tracing type double -colored water level meter. BACKGROUND
[0002] Double -colored water level meter is used for steam boiler drum or other pressure container monitoring water level primary just -place direct -reading instrument. It shows liquid level through steam red, water green, and there is no blind area in the visual range of water level meter and continuous monitoring. Double -colored water level meter is mainly composed of several parts such as table body, steam valve, water valve, blowdown valve, semiconductor light source, light shield etc. Double -colored water level meter directly observes liquid level through several windows of table body. When the boiler is in normal operation, the water level shown by water level meter and the water level in the boiler drum have certain difference, and the difference increases with the increase of the saturation temperature in the boiler drum, which is the water level difference that everyone often says. The water level difference is caused by the temperature difference between the boiler and water level meter. The boiler itself is a heat source body, which can ensure that the temperature of the drum is basically unchanged, and the temperature of the water level meter is affected by many factors. The water level meter is constantly emitting heat, so the temperature of the saturated water and steam in the water level meter also decreases, the density of the saturated water and steam increases, and then the water level difference is generated. The appearance of the water level difference makes the measurement of the water level meter inaccurate, which will affect the safe and stable operation of the drum. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model wants to solve the technical problem to provide a heat tracing type double -colored water level meter that the water temperature of water in the table body is close to the water temperature of water in the boiler drum when measuring the water level of the boiler drum, so that the water level of the boiler drum can be measured relatively accurately.
[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the heat tracing type double -colored water level meter has a mounting shell, the mounting shell is provided with a table body, the table body includes a liquid level meter body, the mounting shell is provided with a longitudinal strip liquid level observation window, the upper portion of the liquid level meter body is connected with a steam inlet valve through a steam connecting pipe, the lower portion of the liquid level meter body is connected with a water inlet valve through a water connecting pipe, the bottom of the liquid level meter body is connected with a blowdown valve, the side wall of the liquid level meter body is provided with a longitudinal groove, an electric heat tracing band is installed in the groove, a pressing plate is screwed at the groove opening of the groove, the lower end of the electric heat tracing band is connected with a power supply terminal box, and the lower end of the electric heat tracing band is connected with the power supply terminal box.
[0005] As an improvement of the utility model, the aluminum foil paper covering the electric heat tracing band in the longitudinal groove of the side of the liquid level meter body is further included, and the inner wall of the pressing plate is tightly pressed on the aluminum foil paper.
[0006] The power connection box needs to be connected to the power supply, the liquid level meter body is heated through the electric heat tracing band, the temperature of the water sample in the body can be improved, the consistency of the water sample in the steam pocket and the water sample in the body is enhanced, and the measurement accuracy of the liquid level meter can be improved; after the aluminum foil paper is covered on the electric heat tracing band in the groove, the heat radiation and conduction of the electric heat tracing band to the external environment can be effectively reduced, the heat efficiency is improved, and the electric energy can be saved.
