High Pressure Cleaner tank level measurement

A manufacturer of High pressure cleaners had a requirement to monitor the level in the tank, which is used for the cleaning process. High pressure cleaners require that a level of water is always available. This water supplies the main pressure coil which heats the water. This water is then pressurised through the machine to the outlet hose and spray nozzles which then operate the cleaning process. If the water drops below a certain level the pressure valves in the system will be damaged.

  • The requirements of the sensor
  • The sensor must be installed from outside the tank
  • The sensor must manufactured from a material that is compatible with the chemicals in the tank
  • Accurate measurement is required
  • No approvals are required such as UL approval
  • The customer manufactures 10,000 cleaners per year and requires one level sensor per machine
  • The market demand requires the most economical solution must be selected.
