Musasino makes full use of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar technology in the Level Echo Ace cargo tank gauge. The detector emits microwaves throughout the 10GHz band, calculating the distance to the liquid cargo surface (ullage) from the time it takes to receive the return signal. The built-in processor sends a digital signal directly to the display in the cargo control room, and to the on-deck display if included.
In addition to the tank level gauging function, a tank gas pressure sensor is built in to the housing. Signals from the tank temperature gauge are also processed and sent in a bundle with the other tank information, reducing the amount of wiring needed on deck.
The housing is small and lightweight, yet designed to endure the harsh conditions found on the decks of tankers. The hoop clamp closure allows easy access when maintenance or inspection is necessary.
All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.
