Applications
These sensors are used in a variety of shipboard applications, including:
Ballast Tank Monitoring
Accurate monitoring of ballast tank levels is crucial for maintaining vessel stability and trim. Submersible level sensors provide real-time data on ballast water levels, allowing for precise adjustments to ensure optimal vessel performance and safety, even in rough seas.
Fuel Tank Monitoring
Efficient fuel management is paramount for any vessel. Submersible level sensors in fuel tanks accurately measure fuel levels, enabling the crew to monitor consumption, optimize fuel usage, and prevent unexpected shortages during voyages.
Bilge Level Monitoring
Bilge water accumulation can pose a significant threat to vessel safety. Submersible level sensors provide continuous monitoring of bilge levels, triggering alarms and activating pumps when levels exceed safe thresholds, preventing flooding and potential damage.
Cargo Tank Monitoring
For cargo vessels, especially tankers, accurate monitoring of cargo levels is crucial. Submersible level sensors provide precise measurements of liquid cargo, ensuring safe loading and unloading operations, preventing overloading, and maintaining vessel stability.
Freshwater Tank Monitoring
Maintaining an adequate supply of freshwater is essential for any vessel. Submersible level sensors monitor freshwater tank levels, ensuring sufficient water availability for drinking, sanitation, and other onboard needs.
Engine Room Monitoring
Submersible level sensors can be used to monitor levels of lubricating oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants in the engine room, ensuring the smooth operation of critical machinery and preventing costly breakdowns.
Wastewater Tank Monitoring
Effective wastewater management is crucial for environmental compliance. Submersible level sensors monitor wastewater tank levels, preventing overflows and ensuring proper disposal procedures are followed.
Draft Measurement
Accurately measuring a vessel’s draft (the depth below the waterline) is essential for safe navigation, especially when entering shallow waters, harbors, or canals. Submersible level sensors can be integrated into draft measurement systems to provide precise real-time data, aiding in preventing groundings and ensuring navigational safety.
Heeling Tank Monitoring
Heeling tanks are used to adjust a vessel’s list (sideways tilt) for stability purposes, particularly in specialized vessels like naval ships or research vessels. Submersible level sensors monitor the water levels in heeling tanks, providing crucial information for maintaining stability during maneuvers or when carrying uneven loads.
Offshore Platform Monitoring
Offshore platforms rely on various liquid storage and processing systems, such as drilling mud tanks, water storage tanks, and fire suppression systems. Submersible level sensors play a critical role in monitoring these systems, ensuring operational efficiency, preventing spills, and enhancing safety in these challenging environments.
Dynamic Positioning Systems
Dynamic positioning (DP) systems are used to maintain a vessel’s position and heading without the use of anchors. Submersible level sensors contribute to the accuracy of these systems by providing precise measurements of the vessel’s roll and pitch, allowing the DP system to make necessary adjustments to maintain stability.
Subsea Applications
Submersible level sensors can be used in subsea applications, such as monitoring the level of liquids in underwater pipelines, storage tanks, or wellheads. These sensors are designed to withstand the extreme pressure and corrosive environments found in deep-sea operations.
Marine approved submersible liquid level sensors play a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of ships. By providing accurate and reliable level measurements, these sensors contribute to enhanced safety, improved efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.
