Soaring fuel prices are forcing fleet owners and managers to adopt fuel monitoring solutions that will help reduce fuel-related costs. Fuel level sensors are used to monitor fuel levels in fuel tanks of various kinds of vehicles, locomotives, ships, vessels, etc.
Fuel level sensors, along with IoT tracking and monitoring solutions, help extract information such as:
- Fuel level in the tank
- Fuel consumption over time
- Fuel refill/drain status
- Identify fuel theft or pilferage.
- Check vehicles or asset sidling time.
Cyrrup’s Diesel Eye, an ultrasonic fuel sensor, is a leading-edge technology that is poised to replace traditional fuel sensors. Ultrasonic sensors are more accurate, reliable, and durable than traditional sensors.
How Ultrasonic Fuel Sensor Works
The ultrasonic fuel sensor works on the same principle as radar systems. The sensor emits ultrasonic waves directly toward the fuel tank. These waves are very high-frequency and thus cannot be perceived. The waves travel from the bottom of the tank to the fuel surface and back. The time it takes for the waves to return is used to calculate the level of fuel in the tank.
Benefits of Using Ultrasonic Fuel Sensor
Ultrasonic fuel sensors offer a number of benefits over traditional float-based sensors. These benefits include:
- Accuracy: Ultrasonic sensors are not affected by changes in temperature or pressure, which can lead to inaccurate readings from float-based sensors.
- Reliability: Ultrasonic sensors are less likely to fail than float-based sensors.
- Durability: Ultrasonic sensors are more durable than float-based sensors and can withstand harsh environments.
- Cost-effectiveness: Ultrasonic sensors are more cost-effective than float-based sensors in the long run.
Ultrasonic Fuel Sensors: A Comparison with Other Fuel Sensors
There are different types of fuel sensors available for diesel level detection, such as mechanical, magnetic, pressure (hydrostatic, bubbler, differential), electrostatic (capacitive, inductive), radar, and ultrasonic.
- Mechanical fuel sensors are the most basic type of fuel sensor. They work by using a float to measure the level of fuel in a tank. Mechanical fuel sensors are not very accurate and can be affected by changes in temperature and pressure.
- Magnetic fuel sensors use a magnet to measure the level of fuel in a tank. Magnetic fuel sensors are more accurate than mechanical fuel sensors, but they can be affected by changes in temperature.
- Pressure fuel sensors use the pressure of the fuel in a tank to measure the level of fuel. Pressure fuel sensors are more accurate than mechanical and magnetic fuel sensors, but they can be affected by changes in fuel density.
- Electrostatic fuel sensors use the capacitance of the fuel in a tank to measure the level of fuel. Electrostatic fuel sensors are the most accurate type of fuel sensor, but they can be expensive and difficult to install.
- Radar fuel sensors use radar to measure the level of fuel in a tank. Radar fuel sensors are the most accurate and reliable type of fuel sensor, but they can be expensive.
Ultrasonic fuel sensors strike a delicate balance between accuracy, reliability, and cost. They are more accurate than mechanical, magnetic, and pressure fuel sensors, and they are less expensive than radar fuel sensors.
