Process Instrumentation > Level Instruments > Displacer Operated Level Switch
Principle

This principle provides for magnetic wide switching differential along with altering of the switching point by moving the displacers up/down the suspension cable. Displacer controls can operate under high pressure conditions because of greater wall thickness than floats. Displacers are heavier than liquid and are suspended by spring. When liquid contracts displacer, buoyancy force is produced, which changes the effective weight of displacer; this causes the spring to retract slightly to a new equilibrium position. As a result of retraction of spring, the attraction sleeve attached to spring move upwards into magnetic field of external magnet to trigger the switching action and vice-versa.

Models

Series 700

Series 700 is designed for internal mounting through the top of the process vessels. Mounting connections are available 2 ½" NPT and 4" NPT flanges as standard, other on request.

Pressue ratings: 143 bar at 40ºC / 40 bar at 250ºC

Specific Gravity: 0.4 and higher.

Series 800

Series 800 is designed for external mounting of the process vessels. The displacer unit is installed inside the closed chamber. When used with isolation valves the switch can be isolated from process during maintenance or plant start-up.
