Hot Wax Magnetic Float Level Gauge

Feasibility Analysis of Magnetic Float Level Gauge

A magnetic float level gauge can be selected, but specific optimization and adaptation are required:

Material Compatibility: A magnetic float level gauge made of 316L stainless steel is selected, meeting food-grade requirements 

while possessing good high-temperature resistance and paraffin corrosion resistance, suitable for hot wax conditions up to 82℃.

Structural Optimization: A jacketed insulation device is installed on the level gauge, and steam is introduced to maintain the fluidity 

of the medium, preventing paraffin crystallization from sticking to the wall and causing the float to become stuck; a high-buoyancy

 float and a large-diameter main pipe are selected, with the float density 0.1-0.2 g/cm³ higher than that of paraffin, ensuring smooth 

rise and fall of the float in paraffin with a viscosity of 4-7 mPa·s.

Functional Matching: A model with a main unit remote transmission and alarm switch is selected, enabling 24V signal output to the 

PLC, meeting the monitoring requirements for high and low liquid levels (35cm, 10cm), with an accuracy of ±10mm, which meets the

 liquid level control requirements of a 76-liter small storage tank. Alternative Solution: Radar Level Gauge

For more stable measurement results, an 80G frequency-modulated radar level gauge can be selected:

Performance Advantages: Non-contact measurement, unaffected by paraffin viscosity or surface fluctuations, strong anti-interference

 capability, and better measurement accuracy and stability; automatically controls false echoes, suitable for conditions with foam or 

impurities.

Compatibility: Supports 24V power supply, can output 4-20mA signal to PLC; 316 stainless steel material meets food-grade requirements 

and high-temperature operating conditions; during installation, avoid obstructions such as agitators within the storage tank.

Flow Meter Selection Scheme

For the CYB3-3Y rotor pump conveying 82℃ paraffin, the following flow meter is recommended:

Polygonal Volumetric Flow Meter

Reason for Selection: Paraffin viscosity is 4-7 mPa·s, belonging to medium viscosity media. Polygonal volumetric flow meters offer

 high accuracy and a large range ratio, suitable for accurately measuring the flow rate of this type of medium.

Parameter Requirements: Made of 316 stainless steel, meeting food-grade requirements and high-temperature operating conditions;

 measuring range of 36 liters/minute, outputting a 4-20mA signal, compatible with PLC systems; possesses excellent vibration and

 electromagnetic interference resistance, ensuring measurement stability.

Electromagnetic Flowmeter (Optional)If the paraffin contains a small amount of conductive impurities, an electromagnetic flowmeter

 can also be selected:

Reasons for Selection: No pressure loss, high measurement accuracy, fast response speed, suitable for real-time flow monitoring.

Parameter Requirements:Uses 316 stainless steel electrodes and lining, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance; 

measuring range of 36 liters/minute, outputting a 4-20mA signal, meeting PLC connection requirements.
