59630-2-T-02-C

Float, Level Sensors are widely used in a variety of applications to measure liquid or solid levels. The most common type of float, level sensor is the 59630-2-T-02-C. This particular sensor is a multipoint thermal float switch, designed with metal springs and a couple of mercury-contact switches. It is popular in industrial and pump control applications.

Operation

The 59630-2-T-02-C float sensor operates on the principal of buoyancy in a liquid. When installed in a container, the float is able to move up and down in the tank by responding to the liquid level inside the tank. It consists of two contacts that are cushioned by metal springs. As the float raises or lowers in response to liquid level changes, the metal contacts separate and press together, triggering an actuator at the control point.

Installation

The 59630-2-T-02-C level sensor can be mounted in two main ways. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, depending on the tank\'s configuration and the application it is being used for. For optimal performance, the switch should be installed at a minimum depth of 6" below the tank’s maximum level. This ensures the float is able to sense the entire liquid range inside the tank.

Advantages

The 59630-2-T-02-C float level sensor is reliable and easy to use. The internal components are sealed and shockproof, making it suitable for extreme environmental conditions. It can also be used in hazardous locations where flammable fumes are present. Other advantages include its long life expectancy, simplified installation process and its ability to work in liquids with high viscosity. In addition, this float level sensor is capable of sensing both high and low levels of liquid.

Applications

The 59630-2-T-02-C switch can be used to sense the levels of liquids such as oil, gasoline, diesel and water. It is suitable for controlling pumps and regulating systems in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants and power plants. In addition, it can be used in the food & beverage industry for controlling dairy and beverage tanks, as well as brewing processes.

Conclusion

The 59630-2-T-02-C float level sensor is a reliable and versatile device designed to monitor the levels of liquids and solids. Its main advantages include its long-life expectancy, shock-proof construction, and its ability to sense both high and low levels. With its simplified installation process and its ability to work in hazardous locations, the 59630-2-T-02-C provides accurate control for a variety of industrial and pump control applications.
