CTANK-A610 Float, Level Sensors: Application Field and Working Principle

Float and level sensors are widely used in various liquid level detection applications. The CTANK-A610 float and level sensor, manufactured by Apogee, is a robust and reliable solution for these types of applications. This document provides an overview of the CTANK-A610 application field, as well as an explanation of its working principle.

Application Field

The CTANK-A610 float and level sensor is a versatile tool for liquid level detection. It can be used in storage tanks, process vessels, and other liquid-containing applications. It is suitable for use in both heated and refrigerated tanks, making it an ideal choice for temperature control systems. It is also capable of detecting various types of liquids, including water, acids, and other volatile liquids. In addition, the CTANK-A610 has a small size and is easy to install, making it an attractive solution for small spaces.

Working Principle

The CTANK-A610 float and level sensor operates on the magnetic principle. This type of sensor uses a magnet and an inductive coil to detect the level of liquid. The coil is connected to the sensor body and housed inside the tank. When the liquid level within the tank rises, the buoyant force from the liquid causes the magnet to move up, towards the inductive coil. In turn, this movement induces a varying magnetic field which causes an electrical signal to be generated. The signal is then detected and sent to the various connected devices, allowing the end user to monitor the current liquid level.

The CTANK-A610 float and level sensor is an accurate and reliable liquid level detection system. The simple design and small size make it easy to install and maintain. The ability to detect a variety of liquids and operate in both heated and refrigerated tanks make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
