LLC102101

Float level sensors are self-contained instrumentation systems used to measure liquid or gas level inside a tank or other cavity. They are commonly found in the oil & gas, chemical and water & wastewater industries. The LLC102101 is one such float level sensor.

System Overview

The LLC102101 is a modular float-based level sensing system for continuous level measurement and control of a variety of liquids and gases. It is designed to measure level up to 2.4 metres (7.9 feet). It comprises of two main components; the float module and the electronics module. The float module consists of a buoyant device made from either a polyethylene or stainless steel enclosure filled with a helium or hydrogen gas. This module is connected to the sensor probe via a cable then tethered to the base unit. The electronics module is a low power, solid state module featuring two discrete integrated circuits, a display and associated user control buttons. The module is then connected to the float module via the tether.

Working Principle

The LLC102101 works by measuring the buoyancy of the float module in response to the liquid or gas level. When the level drops, the weight of the float module increases, and the buoyancy will cause the float module to rise. Conversely, when the level rises, the weight of the float module decreases, and the buoyancy will cause the float module to drop. The electronics module uses this change in buoyancy to calculate the liquid or gas level by measuring the tension in the tether and the angle of the buoyant device. The user then has the ability to control signals for alarms, pumps, and other control devices based on this measured level.

Application Areas

The LLC102101 float level sensor can be used in a wide range of industries and applications. Some of these include: measuring sediment levels in wells, monitoring biological growth in water systems, measuring fuel level in tanks, monitoring water levels in water treatment systems, measuring levels in oil and gas reservoirs, and many others.

Benefits of LLC102101

The LLC102101 offers many benefits over other level sensing systems. For example, it is easy to install, requires minimal maintenance, is highly reliable and accurate, and offers low-cost operation. In addition, the LLC102101 has a wide range of applications, meaning it can be used in many different industries and applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the LLC102101 float-based level sensing system is a reliable, accurate and cost-effective level sensing system. It is suitable for a wide range of applications in industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, and chemical production. The LLC102101 offers the user greater control and flexibility when monitoring levels.
