Reliable Safety for Liquefied Gas On Land and At Sea: Jiwei JWrada® 80GHz Radar Level Sensor
Introduction: The Growing Importance and Challenges of Liquefied Gas in Transportation
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are emerging as environmentally friendly energy sources in the transportation industry due to their low particulate emissions and reduced greenhouse gases. Compared to traditional fuels, liquefied gases offer economic advantages and a cleaner footprint.
In shipping, LNG is increasingly used to power container ships and cruise liners. However, due to the cryogenic temperature and highly flammable nature of liquefied gases, safety remains the top priority. Accurate liquid level measurement is critical for safe storage, transport, and processing. Jiwei Automations’ JWrada® radar level sensor delivers reliable data, ensuring optimized process control and risk reduction.
Key Advantages of Jiwei JWrada® Radar Level Sensor
Non-contact Measurement with Superior Performance in Harsh Environments
Operating at 80 GHz, the JWrada® sensor features an ultra-narrow beam angle and strong penetration ability, effectively bypassing steam, foam, and other challenging conditions to provide stable, precise liquid level readings. Its non-contact design resists interference from variations in temperature, pressure, and density, making it ideal for cryogenic LNG applications.
Robust and Durable Construction for Extreme Conditions
Manufactured with aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and a PTFE antenna cover, the sensor withstands corrosion and extreme cold. Its internal electronics are thermally isolated to maintain accuracy and reliability even in cryogenic and chemically aggressive environments.
High Sensitivity to Low Dielectric Constant Media
Liquefied gases typically have low dielectric constants, making radar reflection weak and challenging to detect. JWrada® addresses this by optimizing antenna design and signal processing to capture even the faintest echoes, delivering precise measurements tailored to industry needs.
Flexible Installation with Process Isolation Capability
Maintenance often requires isolating sensors without stopping production. JWrada® supports mounting on ball valves, and its focused radar beam ensures valve closure does not affect measurement accuracy, facilitating uninterrupted operation and easy servicing.
Ensuring Safety Across All Liquefied Gas Processes
Safety is paramount in handling LNG and LPG. Jiwei JWrada® sensors offer:
- High operational reliability for continuous, long-term use
- Bluetooth-enabled remote configuration via mobile app for efficient maintenance
- Built-in self-diagnostics to detect malfunctions early, ensuring instrument availability
Regardless of whether liquefied gas is in storage, purification, or final delivery, JWrada® provides dependable level data to minimize risks and optimize process control.
Global Applications and Proven Success
Jiwei JWrada® sensors have been successfully deployed in liquefied gas projects across China, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia, proving their adaptability and reliability in various industrial environments worldwide.
Conclusion
With the rapid expansion of liquefied gas usage in transport and industry, demand for accurate and robust level measurement is increasing. Jiwei Automations’ JWrada® 80GHz radar level sensor offers an advanced, cost-effective, and reliable solution that meets international standards and supports safer, smarter liquefied gas operations.
