Temperature Measurement
VSS™ Magnetic Vessel Skin Sensors
- Unsurpassed in reliability and accuracy for real-time monitoring of temperature variations on ferritic vessel surfaces
- Daily Thermetrics’ Magnetic VSS™ is the best solution for increasing sensor density without compromising the integrity of the vessel surface
- The Magnetic VSS™ installs within seconds and provides optimum contact of the sensor to the vessel surface for the life of the sensor.
- When the job calls for superior heat transfer, accurate temperature measurement, and the ability to exchange sensors without successive welding, refiners turn to Daily Thermetrics and the Magnetic VSS™.
- The Magnetic VSS™ proprietary design allows for effortless replacement of the sheathed sensor without the need to remove vessel insulation or hot-work.
APPLICATION: DELAYED COKE DRUMS
Refiners seeking to increase the surface temperature monitoring on their coke drums without having to weld sensors to the surface will find the Daily Thermetrics’ Magnetic VSS™ sensors to be a reliable and trouble-free solution. As coke drums have historically been prone to hot-spots on isolated sections of the vessel, refiners with the capability to better profile the drum’s surface can better defend against integrity issues.
APPLICATION: HIGH TEMP/ HIGH PRESSURE REACTORS
Hydroprocessing reactors, especially those using expensive zeolite catalysts are prime candidates for the MAGNETIC VSS™ sensor. Such a vessel requires a strong presence of internal, “catalyst bed measurements” in order to monitor the performance of the reactor. One of the most significant limitations to operating temperature maximums of these applications is the temperature limits of the vessel walls. Monitoring these vessel walls will continue to become an increasing concern for refiners as demand for pushing the limits of the unit to increase profitability increases.
