Ensure effective tidal flow control and flood prevention with the SWL submersible level transmitter, designed for seawater immersion and harsh marine environments.
Dock bridges with tidal flaps are critical structures in coastal areas, serving various purposes like regulating water flow, preventing flooding, and facilitating navigation. Tidal flaps, also known as tide gates or flood gates, are essentially one-way valves installed on drainage outlets or waterways that allow water to flow out during low tide while preventing seawater from entering during high tide. These flaps play a crucial role in protecting low-lying areas from inundation and maintaining water quality by preventing saltwater intrusion into freshwater systems.
The SWL series of submersible level transmitters are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in these marine environments. Constructed with a durable marine bronze housing, these transmitters are purpose-built for permanent immersion in seawater, ensuring long-term reliability and accurate measurement.
The SWL series provides a 4-20mA output signal, enabling reliable data transmission and integration with control systems. This allows for real-time monitoring of water levels, which is essential for the effective operation of tidal flaps. By accurately measuring the water depth, the SWL transmitter can provide valuable data for automating the opening and closing of tidal flaps, optimizing water flow, and preventing flooding.
In addition to flood control, the SWL series also contributes to maintaining water quality and ecological balance in coastal areas. By preventing saltwater intrusion, these transmitters help protect freshwater resources and sensitive ecosystems. The accurate depth measurement also aids in navigation, ensuring the safe passage of vessels through waterways regulated by tidal flaps.
