Wind energy: Level measurement in lubricant tanks of wind turbines

The reliability of wind turbines is crucial for energy production. The moving parts of wind turbines have several mechanical bearings, the lubrication of which makes an important contribution to trouble-free operation. With the cube-35/FFIU, the filling level in the lubricant tanks is continuously monitored so that there is always sufficient lubricant for long-term operation. In addition, the agitator in the lubricant tanks is specifically masked by the ultrasonic sensor with the new interference echo suppression function.
