LN2 level for Tank

Operation

The monitor records and transmits sensor readings to the ATEK platform. When the probe is no longer in nitrogen, a notification is sent via the ATEK platform to warn you that it is time to fill the nitrogen tank.

The sensor value displays:

• 0 when the probe is submerged (Normal)

• 1 when the probe is no longer in the liquid (Alert)

Why monitor the LN2 level?

The evaporation of liquid nitrogen is an endothermic phenomenon, meaning that it absorbs thermal energy from the environment to change from a liquid to a gas. As long as there is liquid nitrogen in the tank, this energy absorption maintains the tank temperature at a stable level (-196°C).

Monitoring the liquid nitrogen level is more critical than monitoring the temperature because once the liquid nitrogen has completely evaporated, the tank temperature will begin to increase rapidly, and this change may be too rapid to allow for timely intervention. useful. 

ATEK's LN2 level probe allows real-time monitoring of the liquid nitrogen level in the tank. This provides the opportunity to act proactively to maintain thermal stability before total nitrogen evaporation causes problems.
