VEGAFLEX 81 Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor For Wind Turbines

The renewable energy sector continues to grow and wind turbines continue to be subjected to severe environments. On offshore wind farms the turbines have to contend with rough seas and windy conditions as well as corrosive salt water environments. It is inevitable that when the wind turbine plant is constructed seawater will end up in the turbine tower. Leaks need to be sensed and detected as they can lead to accelerated rates of corrosion if the water level is not monitored constantly.

VEGAFLEX 81 provides liquid level measurement from a temperature range of -60 to 200°C over 75 metres distance.

Guided Radar VEGA VEGAFLEX 81 for level measurement and interface in all liquid types provides reliable measurement data.

VEGAFLEX 81 Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor

For Wind Turbines

VEGAFLEX 81 guided wave radar level sensor is able to function regardless of the harsh atmosphere inside the wind turbine tower as it is made of high-resistance materials.

VEGAFLEX 81 wind turbine level sensor is very adaptable, simple to install and can still function when the electronics are up to 10 metres away from the sensor.

For further information on the VEGAFLEX series of guided wave radar level sensors that T&D offer suitable for use in the renewable energy sector please contact our sales office today.
