Areas of application
Wide range of applications for level switches BASIC
Efficient cooling requires precise monitoring of fluid levels in order to avoid loss of performance or damage due to insufficient lubrication. The BASIC sensors reliably monitor the minimum fluid level in cooling systems and thus ensure smooth operation.
In heating and ventilation systems, liquid level sensors play a crucial role in detecting a lack of water at an early stage and preventing damage to pumps or heat exchangers. The BASIC series offers a stable and cost-effective solution for these applications.
The level switches BASIC ensure precise monitoring of the oil level and thus prevent both low and excessive levels. This not only ensures smooth operation, but also protects the compressor components from damage caused by insufficient lubrication.
Moisture from the warm ambient air always condenses at the coldest point. If this is the refrigerant collector, this can lead to icing between the glass cone and the evaluation unit. The BASIC IceFight product variant was specially developed for this purpose. It is optimised for use on CO₂ refrigerant collectors and is resistant to icing of the optical measuring principle.
KRIWAN offers you a variety of optical level switches with different technical specifications. In the following table, you will find a small selection of our level switch.

Low fluid levels in systems such as refrigerant compressors, pump systems or oil tanks can cause significant problems, from insufficient lubrication to serious damage to machine components. Especially in refrigeration systems, a stable oil circuit is crucial to avoid compressor failures and costly repairs. In heating and cooling circuits, too low a level also leads to a loss of operating efficiency and increased energy consumption.
The level monitor BASIC and BASIC IceFight offer a reliable solution for monitoring minimum fill levels. With their robust design and proven technology, they precisely detect whether a critical point has been reached and trigger alarms or shutdowns in good time. Operators benefit from this simple but effective solution as unplanned downtime is avoided and maintenance costs are reduced. Examples of applications include
With the level switches BASIC and BASIC IceFight, you as the operator receive a cost-efficient and easy-to-integrate product that offers maximum safety and reliability in standard applications.
An excessive fluid level can also have serious consequences in many industrial applications. In refrigeration systems, for example, excess oil or refrigerant can flow back into the compressor and cause damage to the machine. An excessive level in tanks or containers can also lead to leaks, waste of material or even environmental pollution due to uncontrolled leakage of liquids.
The level monitor BASIC guarantee precise monitoring and reliable protection against excessive liquid levels. Thanks to their proven technology, they detect at an early stage when the critical maximum value is exceeded and enable a timely response, such as stopping filling or activating safety valves. Typical applications are:
Level switches BASIC and BASIC IceFight are the perfect choice for operators as they offer a robust, low-maintenance solution that can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. With these sensors, high safety and efficiency standards can be guaranteed in standard applications.
