What is the turbidity sensor？

Do you know what the turbidity sensor is? 

Turbidity sensor is a sensor used to detect and measure the turbidity of a liquid. It utilizes an optical method to monitor the content of suspended solid particles in a liquid in real time and gives a numerical signal indicating the turbidity of the liquid. Turbidity measurement is a key process control parameter in many industries.

What scenarios would use the turbidity sensor?

1、Turbidity sensor in the application of water treatment

In water purification equipment installed in the turbidity sensor, you can monitor the turbidity of the filtered water in real time. When the turbidity of the water exceeds the preset threshold, the sensor will be real-time feedback signal. This can be adjusted in time to ensure the quality of water purification equipment. Through this closed-loop control, the entire water purification process to achieve intelligent.

2、Turbidity sensor in chemical production applications

In the chemical reaction process, turbidity changes reflect the progress of the reaction. Installed in the reactor turbidity sensor, can continuously detect turbidity changes. When the turbidity reaches a preset value, the sensor sends a control signal. This can be used to determine the length of the reaction based on the turbidity change and to automate production.

3、Turbidity sensor in food processing applications

In juice production lines, turbidity sensors continuously monitor the turbidity of the juice. When the turbidity exceeds the standard value, the sensor will send an alarm signal. This can detect the problem in time, and take measures to deal with it. This ensures the stability of juice product quality.

How to choose a suitable turbidity sensor?

1, Measuring range to match the needs of the industry and occasions, different industries have different precision requirements.

2, To consider the working environment conditions, select the appropriate sensor material, to ensure its corrosion resistance and compatibility with the measurement of liquid.

3, The installation position will affect the measurement accuracy, need to choose a reasonable sensor placement.

Daily cleaning tips for turbidity sensors

1, In order to ensure the measurement accuracy of the turbidity sensor, need to be regularly cleaned and maintained.

2, You can use warm water or diluted detergent to wipe and rinse the sensor, remove surface stains.

3, Do not use hard objects to wipe, which will damage the surface. Keep the surface dry when in storage.

4, Also regularly check the sensor line connection is safe and reliable.
