Turbine Cooling Water Level Measurement

		Electric power plants produce 4.1 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually for both residential and commercial uses. The majority of this energy is produced using steam turbines. Combined heat power plants and conventional power plants turn water into steam through combustion of fossil fuels and then convert steam into energy. As water is heated, steam rises from the boiling water and spins a steam turbine. The generator, in turn, converts its mechanical energy to electrical energy based on the relationship between magnetism and electricity.
Because these turbines have a tendency to overheat, they also use water-cooling to keep temperatures within a desired range. Correct water level management is essential to keep recommended temperatures within the turbine to prevent warping of the turbine. This application is managed by monitoring water level in an open flume. The EchoSonic LU29 combined with the DataView LI55 is perfect for maintaining level. The EchoSonic LU29 will keep your business moving full steam ahead. If you would like more information on how accurate level measurement can work for you click here.
