Simple, Continuously Indicating Helium Liquid Level Gauge for Opaque Cryostats

A new kind of device measuring liquid level automatically is developed which is composed of camera, illuminating system and industrial computer. It’s based on image measurement technology. The image of the transparent glass liquid level gauge which is installed on the volumetric tank of a flow calibration facility is captured by a camera. After a series of image pre-processing, such as interception, gamma correction, edge detection and so on, the value of liquid level which is the liquid level of the tank can be got by so called peak method. The measurement error is 0.1mm.

This passage mainly introduces about the design of liquid level and boundary measuring control at sewage re-flooding craft in small split oil field. In order to achieve automatically cutting flooding and re-flooding in the procedure in small split oil-field, the scheme is to test liquid level and boundary by using high performance to price ratio new double level gauge, to utilize electric valve instead of mechanical valve and to choose PLC to control system logic. Eventually, it will reduce the labor intensity.

Abstract Blowdown process is an important process in LOCA. Studying the internal thermal hydraulic characteristics of the pressurizer during LOCA blowdown process can help to accurately analyze the process of the whole LOCA, which is of great significance to reduce the hazard of accidents and improve the safety of nuclear power plants. An experiment system of blowdown process under low pressure conditions is built, and it uses a pressure gauge and a differential pressure level gauge to measure the pressure and liquid level in the pressurizer-type heating container, and uses a thermocouple to measure the temperature in the pressurizer-type heating container at different heights and distances from the centerline. The changes of pressure, liquid level and temperature characteristics during the blowdown process were obtained. The research results show that the higher the heating power, the greater the slope of pressure change in the heating container, and the pressure changes from negative to positive growth; The greater the heating power is, the faster the liquid level decreases, and the liquid level decreases sharply after the blowdown inflection point. The greater the heating power is, the greater the rate of temperature change, from negative growth to positive growth. The temperature change rate after the blowdown inflection point is reduced. As the height increases, the temperature inside the container first increases and then decreases; the further away from the container’s centerline, the higher the measured temperature.
