With the rapid development of industrial Internet of Things technology, the monitoring and management mode of traditional steam system is undergoing important changes. Wireless pressure transmitter provides enterprises with significant energy efficiency improvement and security due to its excellent characteristics of no wiring, high reliability and intelligent early warning.
Industrial steam systems serve as the "lifeblood" of factory operations, where pressure stability directly impacts production efficiency, product quality, and equipment safety. Traditional wired transmitter-based pressure measurement faces three major challenges: First, the high cost of cabling infrastructure – steam pipelines spanning factory areas with long distances and complex environments require extensive cable installation and conduit construction. Second, installation and maintenance risks – electrical work near high-temperature, high-pressure pipelines poses safety hazards, while shutdowns for installations disrupt production. Third, persistent data blind spots – limited by cost and feasibility, real-time monitoring of pressure in secondary or remote pipeline sections remains challenging, creating difficulties in system balancing and leak detection.
To address these challenges, the new generation of wireless pressure transmitters utilizes low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology as their core solution, delivering the following advantages: plug-and-play installation. The product features a robust housing and efficient thermal insulation, enabling direct mounting on steam pipelines without external power or cables, thereby minimizing disruptions to production processes.
2. Comprehensive monitoring coverage and elimination of blind spots: With the help of wireless technology, the transmitter transmits the pressure data with accuracy of ±0.1%FS to the central monitoring platform through long-distance and penetration, so that the management personnel can view the steam pipe network pressure distribution in real time on the computer or mobile terminal.
3. Dual Value Through Early Warning and Optimization: The system establishes pressure thresholds for safety alerts, triggering notifications via mobile app or SMS when pressure exceeds limits or drops abruptly to prevent accidents. For energy efficiency optimization, engineers conduct precise network-wide pressure analysis to adjust boiler output and pressure-reducing valves, thereby optimizing steam distribution and minimizing energy waste and equipment wear.
With the continuous maturity and promotion of wireless pressure transmitter technology, it is expected that more enterprises will adopt this innovative solution in the future, contributing to the achievement of China's "smart manufacturing" and "dual carbon" goals.
