Marine & Shipbuilding Industry
- Overview
Shipping has been the basis of global trade for thousands of years. The call for greater efficiency, increasingly stringent emissions directives, and new ship propulsion systems bringnew challenges for the shipbuilding industry worldwide.
WHsensors provides you with the right solution to keep your development and production of ships, marine engines and other components fit for the future. For example, in the following applications:
WHsensors approvals for several models of pressure sensors used in marine and offshore applications. WHsensors offer distinct advantages and applications for ships, barges, offshore oil platforms and desalination. Pressure products include:
OEM pressure sensors: Main applications include engine room pressure monitoring for oil, coolant and fuel, hydraulics, cranes and desalination equipment. HVAC/R controls can increase efficiency by monitoring pressure changes over time.
WH131serices,andWH300 services hazardous location pressure transmitters: Operate in hazardous area such as fuel storage, boiler room, engine control units, natural gas engines, dual fuel (natural gas/diesel) systems for ships, power generation and energy management.
Models WH311serices submersible pressure transducers are ideal for marine tank level measurements for water, fuel, wastewater, desalination systems and ballast. Our submersible pressure transducers have all stainless steel construction and are standard with a conduit electrical connection for installation in flood prone areas. TheWH311 series is designed with a flush diaphragm to prevent clogging in viscous liquids. The WH312 is constucted of PVDF material, to survive chemicals and corrosive liquids in which stainless steel does not.
WH3051 and WH3051LTdifferential pressure transducers: Mainly used for flow and filtration applications in water, fuel, oil and hydraulics. For OEM marine applications, an added line pressure or temperature output signal are optional. With the expansion of LNG transportation, the need for accurate level measurement of sealed tanks using a differential pressure transducer has increased.
