Level Sensor/Indicator for Condensate Collection Vessels

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Level Sensor/Indicator

Definition

This level sensor/indicator is a component designed for condensate collection vessels in industrial processes. It monitors the accumulated condensate level, providing real-time measurement and indication to prevent overflow, ensure proper drainage, and maintain system efficiency. The device operates by detecting changes in physical properties—such as pressure, capacitance, or optical reflection—caused by the presence of condensate. These changes are converted into electrical signals, processed to determine the liquid level, and displayed on an indicator. Typical specifications include a measuring range of 0–1000 mm, accuracy of ±0.5% FS, a 4–20 mA analog output (2-wire), supply voltage of 12–36 V DC, operating temperature of -20–85 °C, and operating pressure of 1.0–1.6 MPa (referenced to ). Ingress protection is rated IP65–IP67 per IEC 60529. Wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel (ASTM A240), with other materials such as polypropylene and glass available. Process connections range from G1/2 to G1 inch (ISO 228-1). Response time is ≤1 second, and weight varies from 0.5 to 2.0 kg depending on insertion length. These values are directory reference ranges; verify model-specific data with the manufacturer. The sensor is suitable for outdoor installation and is used in condensate management systems to maintain operational reliability. It is not a standalone controller; it requires integration with a control system or manual monitoring. Regular calibration and inspection are recommended to ensure accurate level detection. The device does not include self-diagnostic features beyond standard signal output; any deviation from expected output may indicate a fault. For procurement, confirm the exact measuring range, process connection, and material compatibility with the application. Standards listed are for reference only and do not imply certification. Always consult the supplier for compliance and installation guidelines.

Working Principle

The sensor detects the presence of condensate by measuring changes in physical properties such as pressure, capacitance, or optical reflection. These changes are converted into electrical signals, which are processed to determine the liquid level. The processed signal is then displayed on an indicator, allowing operators to monitor the level in real time. The device operates within specified ranges for temperature, pressure, and supply voltage, and provides a 4–20 mA output for integration with control systems.
