上海交通大学硕士论文新型栅状电容式液位传感器的设计研究DESIGN AND STUDY OF NEW PALISADE CAPACITANCE LEVEL SENSORABSTRACTThe main thermo technical parameters, such as liquid level, temperature, pressure, flow and so on, are always focused by the researchers. Many methods can be used to measure the liquid level. In modern industrial automation technique, there are about twenty methods usually used to measure it. Those methods can be divided into two groups, which are direct measurement and indirect measurement. With the development of the industrial automation in level and scale, direct measurement has been replaced by indirect measurement because of the on spot indicating, low accuracy and subjective measurement error. At the moment, in industrial automation production, no matter in home or abroad, the indirect measurement is general used, include floating gauge, pressure gauge, capacitance gauge, LUC gauge, magnetostriction gauge and so on. Capacitance liquid level measurement is widely used in many areas, such as food service industry, petrochemical industry, health and medicine service industry and so on, because of its simple structure, price moderate and so on. But the capacitance liquid level measurement alsoV上海交通大学硕士论文新型栅状电容式液位传感器的设计研究has some shortcomings such as the high output impedence of the sensor, low load capacity, difficulty in signal processing. Those shortcomings are mainly due to the low capacity of the capacitance sensor. In order to improve the capacity of ordinary capacitance sensor, the volume of the capacitance sensor has to be increased, and it will cause the difficulty of the flow of the process fluid measured. So it is necessary to develop the new style capacitance sensor, which has small volume and large capacity.In order to overcome this shortcoming of the ordinary capacitance sensor, the new the new palisade capacitance level sensor was designed. It used the palisade electrode instead of cylindrical electrode, which can expand the space between the electrodes to im
