Description
GESTRA NRG 26-21 Level Monitoring
Reliable Boiler Water Level Control for Industrial Applications.
The GESTRA NRG 26-21 is a high-performance level monitoring sensor designed for continuous water level measurement in steam boilers and other pressurized vessels. It works in combination with GESTRA’s NRS control units, delivering fail-safe monitoring and enhanced safety in industrial steam systems.
Built with German precision, the NRG 26-21 ensures reliable level detection using the capacitive measuring principle, and is fully compliant with EN 12952 and EN 12953 standards.
The level electrode NRG 26-21 is used for continuous level monitoring in steam boilers and (pressurized) hot-water installations or in condensate and feedwater tanks.
In conjunction with the level switch NRS 2-.. and the level controller NRR 2-.. the electrode can be used as water level controller with MIN/MAX alarm.
The level electrode can be used in combination with the following level switches/controllers: NRS 2-50, NRS 2-51, NRR 2-50, NRR 2-51, NRR 2-52 and NRR 2-53.
Function
- The level electrode and the preamplifier NRV 2-29 work according to the capacitance measurement principle and translate the level changes into a level-dependent current signal, with the length of the electrode rod determining the measuring range.
- The level electrode is installed inside steam boilers, vessels or in an external level pot. If the equipment is installed in a side the boiler or vessel, a protection tube provided on side ensures correct functioning.
- The level electrode can be installed together with one GESTRA level electrode for water level limiting or for highlevel alarm in a single protection tube or external level pot.
- The level electrode can be used in electrically conductive and non-conductive fluids.
