Advanced 80GHz Radar Level Sensor for Efficient Silo Monitoring

It transmits microwave signals (typically 6GHz, 24GHz, or 80GHz) from an antenna towards the liquid surface. The signals reflect off the surface, and the transmitter analyzes the frequency shift (for FMCW radar) or time delay (for pulsed radar) of the reflected signals to compute the level accurately.

Yes. Most industrial radar models are designed for high-pressure (up to 100 bar) and high-temperature (up to 200 degree or higher) environments, with sealed antennas and rugged housings (e.g., 316L stainless steel).

High-temperature/pressure tanks, volatile/flammable liquid storage, dusty environments (e.g., cement silos), low dielectric constant liquids, and long measurement ranges (over 10m).

For flat-bottom tanks, install the antenna vertically (90 degrees to the liquid surface). For conical or sloped tanks, tilt the antenna slightly (5-10 degrees) to ensure the reflected signal returns to the antenna (avoid directing signals to tank edges).

Yes, if they have an IP67/IP68 protection rating. Use a sunshade or heater (for cold climates) to prevent damage from extreme temperatures, rain, or snow. Ensure the antenna is not blocked by debris.
