Cryogenic isotope-separation equipment is special, encountered in relative few research centers in the world. In addition to the main equipment used in the operation column, a broad range of measuring devices and actuators are involved in the technological process. The proper sensors and transducers exhibit special features; therefore, common, industrial versions cannot be used. Three types of original sensors with electronic adapters are presented in the present study: a sensor for the liquid carbon monoxide level in the boiler, a sensor for the liquid nitrogen level in the condenser and a sensor for the electrical power dissipated in the boiler. The integration of these sensors in the pilot equipment is needed for comprehensive system monitoring and control. The sensors were tested on the experimental equipment from the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies from Cluj-Napoca.
低温同位素分离设备很特殊，在世界上只有相对较少的研究中心能够遇到。除了操作塔中使用的主要设备外，该工艺流程还涉及到广泛的测量设备和执行器。适当的传感器和换能器具有特殊的功能；因此，不能使用常见的工业版本。本研究提出了三种带有电子适配器的原始传感器：用于锅炉中液态一氧化碳水平的传感器、用于冷凝器中液态氮水平的传感器以及用于锅炉中电功率耗散的传感器。需要将这些传感器集成到试验设备中，以实现全面的系统监控和控制。这些传感器是在克卢日-纳波卡的国家同位素与分子技术研究所的实验设备上进行测试的。
