1.1 Introduction
This document describes some of the best practices learned during the installation of thousands
of Rosemount process radar level transmitters in power applications.
In a power plant, the radar applications can be divided into the following subcategories:
Boiler systems
Turbines
Water supply and pre-treatment
Cooling system
Fuel supply
Fuel combustion / clean-up
Effluent
Hydro power
Miscellaneous
Each application differs in how the transmitters are to be installed to achieve optimized result. It
is important to follow the best practice for the specific application. If unsure about the
installation of your Rosemount radar transmitter, or you cannot find the suitable best practice
for your application, contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for
support.
For more information on how to choose the correct technology and transmitter for an
application, see the Engineer’s Guide to Level Measurement for Power and Steam Generation
document, available to order on www.rosemount.com.
