2 SUGAR CRYSTALLIZATION IN BRIEF

Fig. 2.7 Recommended sensor head locations

NOTE:
Sensor location in a crystallizer is a problem independent from the type of sensor used. If a separate
temperature sensor is used, it should be mounted close to the refractometer Sensor Head. The same
applies to massecuite density and solids content (brix) sensors as well.

Mounting the Indicating Transmitter

It is general practice to mount the Indicating Transmitter close to the vacuum pans. The enclosure must not
be exposed to rain or direct sunshine. Avoid vibration.
