Use at up to -196 °C

Due to their temperature decoupling from the process, the Vegaplus 64 80 GHz radar sensors from Vega are optimized for extreme process temperatures - such as those found in LNG applications: Up to -196 °C are no problem.

There is no icing or condensation on the antenna system. In addition to cryogenic applications, the protected housing and the flush-mounted antenna cover made of PTFE are suitable for reliable measurement in aggressive media, be it acids, alkalis or abrasive media. From the housing head to the measuring cell, they are manufactured with maximum robustness and equipped with high-quality details. At their heart is a metal structure made of durable stainless steel, which thermally decouples the sensitive electronics in the sensor housing. However, thanks to their high dynamic range, the 80 GHz radar sensors also perform well when detecting the smallest signals, especially when measuring hydrocarbons, according to the manufacturer. Virtually all media in the petrochemical industry, from crude oil to cryogenic liquid gases, can be detected with the sensors despite their low reflective properties.
