Level transmitter enables oil level detection in agricultural machinery fuel tanks

Accurate detection of the oil level in agricultural machinery fuel tanks is a core prerequisite for ensuring normal operation, enhancing work efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. The Yuanben LCT series capacitive level transmitter, with its unique principle and numerous advantages, has become the ideal choice for oil level detection in agricultural machinery fuel tanks.-

Principle of the Yuanben LCT series capacitive level transmitter

The capacitive level transmitter is based on the change in capacitance. Its core component is the positive and negative probes. When the liquid medium fills the space between the two probes, a capacitor is formed. As the liquid level rises or falls, the capacitance also changes linearly. The transmitter uses a highly integrated dedicated capacitance measurement chip to accurately convert this capacitance change into a standard electrical signal output. This process not only reflects the changes in the liquid level in real time but also ensures high-precision and high-stability measurement results through precise temperature compensation and linear correction.

The features of Yuanben LCT series capacitive liquid level transmitters are as follows:

1. Precise measurement without interference

Yuanben capacitive liquid level transmitters can directly measure the fuel quantity in the agricultural machinery fuel tank to obtain the fuel consumption value. This measurement method is completely independent of the fuel system and pipelines, and does not cause any effect or impact on them. This means that the normal operation of the fuel system will not be disturbed during the measurement process, and it also avoids possible fuel system blockages or other faults caused by the intervention of the measurement equipment, ensuring the stable operation of agricultural machinery.

2. Easy installation and strong adaptability

The installation method of Yuanben LCT series liquid level transmitters is very flexible and can be fixed by thread or flange, and the operation is simple and easy. For fuel tanks of different sizes, the sensors can be customized according to customer requirements. This customization service can ensure that the sensors are perfectly matched with the fuel tanks, improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. At the same time, the sensors also have a temperature compensation function, which can automatically correct the errors caused by the volume changes of the fuel tank due to temperature changes, further improving the measurement accuracy and ensuring stable performance in various complex environmental conditions.

3. Reliable Sealing, Safe and Durable

When the Yuanben LCT series capacitive sensor is directly installed on the oil outlet hole of the agricultural machinery fuel tank, it is connected using NPT tapered pipe threads. This thread structure has excellent sealing performance, effectively preventing oil leakage. This is crucial for agricultural machinery equipment as oil leakage not only leads to waste of fuel but may also cause safety accidents such as fires. Moreover, the capacitive liquid level transmitter has no mechanical moving parts inside. Its mature and stable circuit structure and high-quality components ensure that the sensor can be used continuously for a long time in harsh working environments, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and repair frequency.

The advantages of capacitive liquid level transmitters in oil level detection of agricultural machinery fuel tanks

1. Enhance operational efficiency

Accurate oil level detection can help agricultural machinery operators keep real-time track of the oil quantity in the fuel tank. During operation, operators can arrange refueling or adjust the operation plan in a timely manner based on the changes in the oil level, avoiding interruption of work due to insufficient fuel and significantly improving the operational efficiency of agricultural machinery. At the same time, precise fuel consumption monitoring can provide data support for fuel management of agricultural machinery, helping users optimize fuel usage and reduce production costs.

2. Ensure equipment safety

During the operation of agricultural machinery, abnormal changes in the oil level of the fuel tank may cause equipment malfunctions. For instance, an excessively low oil level may lead to insufficient engine lubrication, causing engine failure; while an excessively high oil level may result in fuel tank overflow, triggering fire and other safety accidents. Capacitive level transmitters can monitor the oil level in real time and issue alerts promptly when the oil level is abnormal, reminding operators to take appropriate measures and effectively ensuring the safe operation of agricultural machinery.

3. Adapt to complex environments

Agricultural machinery usually operates in complex and changeable outdoor environments, facing various adverse factors such as high and low temperatures, dust, and vibration. The high precision, high stability, and excellent sealing performance of capacitive level transmitters enable them to adapt to these complex working conditions. Whether in the hot summer or cold winter, whether in dusty farmlands or rugged mountainous areas, they can work stably and reliably, providing accurate oil level data for agricultural machinery.

Capacitive liquid level transmitters have demonstrated significant application potential in the field of oil level detection for agricultural machinery fuel tanks. They not only measure the oil level accurately but also feature easy installation, strong adaptability, safety and durability. By enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring equipment safety and adapting to complex environments, capacitive liquid level transmitters provide strong support for the intelligent management and efficient operation of modern agricultural machinery.
