Boiler controls to be launched in Europe
Solartron Mobrey launches the industry-leading Erab liquid level measurement systems for boiler control across Europe: the range offers high-reliability and long-term measurement stability
The stainless steel housing is ATEX Flameproof, FM Explosion-proof and safe area approved, and the Hastelloy sensor is ideal for detection of hostile liquids such as bleaches, chlorines, acids, fluorides and fuel oils.
The new versions of Squing 2 are available with a choice of threads and flanges, and feature a visible heart-beat LED which flashes continuously to give perpetual indication of state, and constant confirmation that the sensor is operational.
"Warnings of a fault within the sensor or its circuitry are indicated by a change in flash rate," explains John Stewart, Product Manager in the Mobrey Measurement division of Emerson Process Management.
"An LED off state indicates a power supply or similar fault.
Also incorporated into the design is a magnetic test point to allow quick checking of the switch and associated system".
Suitable for any liquid with a specific gravity less than 2.0 (approx 2000 kg/m3) and a viscosity up to 10000 centiPoise, the Mobrey sensor can operate in temperatures up to 150C, and in pressures between vacuum and 100 bar.
The forks themselves extend only 50mm to allow easy installation into a tank or a pipe.
Squing 2 is available as an intrinsically safe option, has no moving parts, and requires no maintenance.
The range of Squing level sensors include a robust plastic housing sealed to IP66/IP67; an Explosion-proof/ Flameproof approved aluminium housing; the compact Mini Squing which features all of the benefits of Squing 2 in a compact low cost package; and the Squing TD series water ingress level detector which meets the International Maritime Organisation SOLAS Regulation XII/12 for bulk cargo carriers.
