Reliable liquid monitoring in standard applications
Level sensors used in less demanding environments still need to provide precise liquid monitoring while being easy to use and cost-effective. The KRIWAN BASIC level sensors fulfil these requirements and offer a reliable solution for a wide range of standard applications.
With their robust design and straightforward operation, the BASIC models offer reliable performance in applications such as oil level monitoring in compressors and pumps. Suitable for environments subject to moderate temperatures and mechanical stress, these sensors ensure smooth operation by warning of low or high fluid levels. The BASIC level sensors offer reliable performance in a wide range of applications where simple, cost-effective solutions are required.
Compressors in refrigeration and air conditioning systems are key components that are responsible for compressing gases to ensure cooling capacity. These devices operate under high loads and require continuous lubrication to reduce friction and maintain their functionality. An insufficient oil level can result in the compressor not being adequately lubricated, leading to increased friction, overheating and ultimately serious damage to the mechanical components. This can jeopardise the operation of the entire system and result in expensive repairs. On the other hand, too high an oil level can lead to an impairment of the compressor's efficiency, as excess oil can reduce performance or even block the entire system.
Precise monitoring of the oil level is therefore crucial in order to minimise operating costs, avoid breakdowns and extend the service life of the compressors. This poses a particular challenge, as the oil level must be monitored continuously in order to be able to react to possible deviations in good time without disrupting operation.
The BASIC level sensors from KRIWAN offer the ideal solution for these requirements. They continuously monitor the oil level in the compressor and ensure that it is neither too low nor too high.
If the oil level is too low, the INT279 LN immediately triggers an alarm so that the operator can intervene quickly and adjust the oil level before damage occurs. At the same time, the INT279 LX ensures that a warning is also issued if the oil level is too high to prevent potential negative effects on compressor performance.
Advantages
The BASIC level sensors - INT279LN and INT279LX - provide operators with a reliable and cost-effective oil level monitoring solution that optimises the operation of compressors while ensuring their longevity.
Both models provide reliable oil level monitoring and alert the operator immediately when the oil level becomes critical, allowing quick adjustments to be made to prevent damage.
