Ambient temperatures can cause headaches when it comes to Differential Pressure (DP) Level measurement. Impulse lines have been frequently used with transmitters and may work in some cases. But ambient temperature changes, whether hot or cold, can throw measurements out of range and prove to be problematic. Heat tracing and wraps are used as a solution, but that can become expensive to implement and requires valuable labor resources.
If you’re looking for the best solution to eliminate issues with ambient temperatures, select an Electronic Remote Sensor (ERS) System. ERS Systems calculate differential pressure electronically using two pressure sensors linked together with an electrical cable. It eliminates impulse lines, capillaries, and fill fluids all together, and significantly reduces operating costs by eliminating the need for steam or electricity for heat tracing. Plus, the system can also provide faster response time for safer operation and improve monitoring and reporting.
