ELIXIR Liquid Level Switch

Elixir is a microprocessor based liquid level switch which consumes low power and can be used for liquids up to 10000 cP and is suitable up to  temperature limits of 200°C. This liquid level indicator is extremely compact making it suitable for constricted places.

This single point level switch for liquids uses the RISC Core micro-controller technology which makes it reliable & more accurate for level detection of any liquid or slurry (even highly viscous up to 10,000 cP). The instrument has an adjustable switching delay for covered and uncovered conditions. The electronics is integral with the fork and can be mounted in different ways such as top or side mounting. If the use is in hazardous area, you could choose the Flame proof version. You also have the flexibility of choosing the insertion length.

The Elixir liquid level control switch has no moving parts and is not affected by the turbulence in the tank, floating particles, suspensions or gas bubbles. This makes it a superior choice over the traditional float switches. If the liquid/slurry service material is very viscous, Elixir is the instrument of choice. The instrument neither requires adjustments nor is dependent on the position, thus making it the best option for liquid level switching in small tanks, pipes and mixing tanks.

Applications

You can use the Elixir liquid level switch for level detection of all types of liquids in storage tanks, mixing tanks and pipe lines having temperature up to 200°C and viscosity up to 10,000 cP and density greater than 0.7 gm/cc. Elixir is suitable for most of the applications, where traditional float switches were previously used and for liquids, which are sticky, corrosive, agitated, splashing and foaming.

Where is it used

Elixir has well used in the edible oil, food, pesticides, power, pharmaceutical, chemicals, dairy, distelleries, sugar, detergent, minerals, textile, water and many other industries and their utilities. Anywhere you use a float operated switch for liquid level indication, Elixir level switch comes as a better solution.

Principle

A specially shaped tuning fork is kept vibrating by piezo-electric elements at a set frequency. The frequency of the fork changes when the tines are immersed in the liquid. The change in the frequency is detected and used for switching a relay. The output contacts of the relay can in turn be used for annunciation or control.
