Product Description
Float level control switches is suitable for liquid level control of open or bearingpressurecontainer in industrial process. When the liquid
level reaches to high or lowlimit, relaycontact point can be as signal alarm device or the switch in electronic pumpcircuit. Theswitch is
applicable for industries of water treatment, petrochemicals, boiler andvessels.The float level switches worked on fluid buoyancy
principle, when float up anddownduetobuoyancy effect, the magnetic reed switch (or micro switch) in the junction box affectedbyarm
end magnet, and the contact "NC" and "NO" interchanged accordingly.
Structure
- Float: The main component is a float, which is a hollow or solid object with a certain buoyancy. It is usually made of materials such as plastic, metal, or foam that can float on the liquid surface. The float is connected to the switch mechanism.
- Switch Mechanism: This part is responsible for converting the vertical movement of the float into an electrical signal. It typically consists of a lever, a hinge, and an electrical contact or a magnetic reed switch. When the float rises or falls with the change in liquid level, the switch mechanism is triggered to open or close the electrical circuit.
Working Principle
As the liquid level in the container changes, the float rises or falls accordingly. When the liquid level reaches a certain preset height,
the float lifts the switch mechanism, causing the electrical contacts to close or open, depending on the specific design. This change
in the electrical circuit state can be used to trigger alarms, control pumps, or send signals to a monitoring system. For example, when
the liquid level in a water tank rises to a high - level setpoint, the float level switch can send a signal to stop the water inlet pump to
prevent overflow. Conversely, when the liquid level drops to a low - level setpoint, it can trigger the pump to start filling the tank.
Applications
Industrial Applications: They are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, and water treatment industries to monitor and control the
liquid levels in storage tanks, reactors, and processing vessels. They help to ensure the proper operation of processes by preventing
over - filling or under - filling of liquids.
Domestic Applications: In households, float level switches are commonly used in water tanks, swimming pools, and sump pumps.
For example, in a household water tank, a float level switch can control the operation of the water supply pump to maintain a constant
water level.
Marine Applications: Float level switches are used in shipboard fuel tanks, water tanks, and bilge systems to monitor and control
liquid levels. They play an important role in ensuring the safety and proper operation of the ship.
