Modulevel Pneumatic and APM Liquid Level Control

Transcription

1 Modulevel Pneumatic and APM Liquid Control Modulevel pneumatic liquid level controls are displacement actuated level sensors that provide output signals in direct proportion to changes in liquid level. Simple modular design and the Magnetrol proven magnetic coupling make Modulevel controls versatile, highly stable, vibration resistant and adaptable to extremes in temperature and pressure. Features Standard models handle service temperatures from -0 to +700 F (-0 to +7 C) and pressure to 6 PSIG (8 Bar). Stable output signal is unaffected by surface turbulence. Prevents control valve hunting and extends valve life. Controller head may be removed without disturbing pressure boundary. Permits service or replacement without shutdown of process. Simple calibration prior to installation, by substituting weights for dis placer or by controller head calibration with displacer. Accurate output signal provided over a wide specific gravity. Controller head rotates 60, simplifies pneumatic piping hookup. 6 SS displacer and trim. Inconel & 6SS springs. (Consult factory for Hastelloy displacer.) Easily calibrated without moving tank liquid level, for reduced installation time and cost. Pilot relay provides a to amplification of pilot pressure signal to speed value response. Built-in visual level indicator is independent of air supply. Optional pneumatic-tocurrent interface transducer for use in electronic control applications. Optional proportional plus integral control. Optional differential gap (on-off) control. Optional High-Low elect r o n i c a l a r m s i g n a l provides inex pensive backup alarm. Fabricated construction. Applications Modulevel pneumatic liquid level controls are widely used in utility power generation, chemical and petroleum processing operations, such as: Steam generator feedwater heater regulation Fractionating column level transmitter Ethanolamine level transmitter Vent gas scrubber level control Drip pot condensate level control Flash tank level transmitter Boiler level control Worldwide level and flow solutions SM

2 Principle of operation The key elements of the Modulevel pneumatic control are the magnetic coupling, which allows the controller to be mechanically isolated from the sealed sensing unit; the spring, which dampens the action of the displacer; and the controller head, which provides a modulated pneumatic signal in direct proportion to the input from the vertical motion of the displacer. As the liquid level in the vessel increases or decreases, the buoyant displacer rises or falls. This motion, dampened by the action of the spring to prevent response to the rapid fluctuations of turbulence, is mechanically coupled to an attractor ball, within an enclosed tube. A magnet encircling the tube follows the attractor ball, transferring the motion to a rotating cam, which in turn operates a flapper against a nozzle which increases or decreases the pressure within the pneumatic relay. The output pressure signal can be used in a variety of ways to operate a control valve or signal to alarms, indicators, process controls or other devices. With optional integral control, the pilot nozzle proportional signal is conditioned through an additional metering valve system, which will eliminate offset from the desired control point.

3 Mounting arments Flanged top P, P6 and P6 displacer models For mounting on top of the tank, flanged top models are available. They are used extensively in interface control applications where non-standard size displacers become necessary. An adjustable stainless steel displacer suspension cable is also available. Top mounting models are directly interchangeable with the external cage models. Choose from carbon steel or stainless steel models. A heavy duty model, suitable for pressures up to 6 PSIG at +00 F (8 bar at +8 C), is also available. Top Mounted APM- When mounting inside the tank is possible, threaded top models are the answer. An adjustable stainless steel displacer suspension cable is provided as standard. External cage P, P, P6, P6, P6, P66, P7 and P7 displacer models External cage models can be easily isolated from the process for maintenance and inspection operations. The modern in-line design eliminates the need for specifying right hand and left hand. Any mounting position is possible by rotating the instrument head. A variety of models are available including sealed or flanged cage with either side/side or side/bottom connections. Choose carbon steel or stainless steel models. Heavy duty models, suitable for pressures up to 6 PSIG at +00 F (8 bar at +8 C), are also available. External cage APM-W, APM-W and APM-W9 External cage models can be easily isolated from the process to simplify maintenance and inspection operations. Sight glass and Trycock tappings are provided. P6 Flanged Top Model Top Mounted APM- P6 External Cage Model with Side/Side Connections Modulevel pneumatic instruments Modulevel pneumatic instruments are available in a variety of functions and styles to handle different application requirements. instruments are used to maintain the level in a tank within a predetermined band. The output from the Modulevel head controls the opening and closing of a valve to control the increase or decrease of the liquid flow through the vessel. Transmitter Transmitters are adjusted for full level operation and signal the current liquid level. The signal can be fed to a variety of devices as the application requires. Transmitter/Receiver controller There are two devices in this version. The first is a transmitter which senses the level directly at the vessel and provides a 00% of span signal to the receiver/controller. The receiver/controller operates in the same manner as a direct connected level device, such as a proportional controller, which allows varying the proportional band and level set point. This unit may be mounted either integrally next to the transmitter, or at a more convenient remote location. Electric limit switches Electric limit switches allow high and low alarms to be added to any of the pneumatic instruments described above. integral integral instruments (i.e., with reset) operate in the same manner as the proportional with one major difference. The offset between the desired level and the actual process level is eliminated; thus, maintaining the level at a specific point rather than within a band. Differential gap A differential gap instrument provides only two distinct outputs; either, fully opened or fully closed. One distinct output value is obtained when the level exceeds the upper switchi n g p o i n t. T h i s o u t p u t remains constant until the level decreases below the lower switching point. At this time the controller changes to another distinct output value. The new value remains constant until the level again rises above the upper switching point; causing the output value to return to the first output value. The distance between the two switching points is called the differential gap. Direct acting As the level increases, the pressure increases in direct acting pneumatic instruments. Reverse acting As the level increases, the pressure decreases in reverse acting pneumatic instruments. Side mounted P68 float model Side mounted models are ideally suited for narrow level applications. Carbon steel models are available with either a " NPT threaded body or a " flanged connection. This model is suitable for pressures up to 800 PSIG at +00 F ( bar at +8 C). External Cage APM- W Interface detection Modulevel controllers can be factory calibrated to detect the interface between two liquids if:. There is a minimum difference in specific gravity of The interface line between the two liquids is kept within the length of the displacer.. The displacer is constantly submerged in liquid. Consult the factory when specifying units for interface applications. The specific gravity of both liquids must be supplied at the time the order is placed.

4 Expedite ship plan (ESP) Many standard Modulevel pneumatic level controls are available for quick shipment, usually within one week after factory receipt of a purchase order, through the Expedite Ship Plan (ESP). Models covered by ESP service are conveniently color coded in the selection data charts which follow. To take advantage of ESP, simply match color coded model number codes and options (standard dimensions apply). ESP service may not apply to orders of ten units or more. Contact your local representative for lead times on larger volue orders as well as other products and options. Selection data Modulevel controls are identified by a ten digit alphanumeric model numbering system. The model number describes model configuration, materials of construction, level s, and other options vital to the performance and function of the instrument.
