A stainless steel buoyant float is a device commonly used inside storage tanks, primarily designed to reduce the contact area between liquid and air, thereby minimizing the evaporation loss of the liquid. Below is a detailed introduction to it:
Structure Composition:
Buoy: A core component, typically made of stainless steel material, usually in tubular or cylindrical shapes. Multiple buoys are evenly distributed and interconnected to provide buoyancy to the floating disk, allowing it to float on the liquid surface.
Frame: Generally constructed with stainless steel, the frame structure connects and secures the buoyant barrels, forming a stable whole while also providing support for other components on the floating deck.
Sealing Device: Typically made of rubber and other materials, installed at the edge of the floating disk, between floaters, and other positions to prevent liquid leakage from the gap between the floating disk and the tank wall or between floaters, reducing liquid evaporation.
Lid: Covers the buoy and frame above, forming a flat surface. Can be made of stainless steel plate, serving to protect the buoy and frame, while also reducing disturbances on the liquid surface.
Operation Principle: Utilizing the buoyancy of the stainless steel buoyant cylinder, the float plate floats on the liquid surface inside the storage tank. As the liquid level rises, the float plate elevates with the liquid surface; when the level falls, the float plate descends accordingly, maintaining contact with the liquid surface at all times, thereby reducing the contact area between the liquid and air and lowering the evaporation loss of the liquid.
Features:
High corrosion resistance: Made of stainless steel, capable of resisting erosion from various chemicals, suitable for storing corrosive liquids.
High Stability: The buoyancy tube provides ample buoyancy with a reasonable distribution, allowing the float to remain stable on the liquid surface, with minimal tilting or swaying.
Easy Installation: The structure is relatively simple, with components pre-fabricated in the factory and assembled on-site, which can shorten the installation period.
Long lifespan: High strength and wear resistance of stainless steel, combined with excellent corrosion resistance, ensures long-term stable operation under normal usage conditions.
Application Fields: Widely used in the petrochemical industry for storing crude oil, finished oils, etc.; in the food and beverage industry for storing liquors, edible oils, etc.; in the pharmaceutical industry for storing various liquid medications; and in the water treatment industry for adjusting the liquid level in ponds and water tanks.
