Types of Level Sensor for Diesel Generator Tanks -EPA Generator Emissions Upgrade
There are several types of sensors that can be used to measure the level of diesel fuel in a generator: Generator Emissions Upgrade Package
- Float-type sensors: These sensors use a float that rises and falls with the fuel level. The float is connected to a rod or cable that moves a magnet or resistor, which is detected by a sensor to measure the fuel level. Float-type sensors are relatively inexpensive and easy to install, but they are not as accurate as some other types of sensors.
- Ultrasonic sensors: These sensors use ultrasonic waves to measure the distance to the fuel surface. They are relatively accurate and can measure fuel levels over a wide range, but they can be affected by temperature and pressure changes.
- Capacitive sensors: These sensors measure the change in capacitance between two electrodes as the fuel level changes. They are relatively accurate and can operate over a wide range, but they can be affected by temperature and pressure changes.
- Radar sensors: These sensors use microwaves to measure the distance to the fuel surface. They are relatively accurate and can measure fuel levels over a wide range, but they can be affected by temperature and pressure changes.
- Optical sensors: These sensors use a light source and a photodetector to measure the level of the fuel. They are relatively accurate and can operate over a wide range, but they can be affected by changes in the transparency of the fuel.
