Device and method for measuring liquid level in a container by a protected pressure sensor
Disclosed herein are a device and method designed for determining the liquid level in a container through measuring the pressure in the liquid by a pressure sensor located at the bottom of the container within a chamber designed to prevent solid particles dispersed in the liquid from reaching the sensor. Measuring the pressure of the liquid in the container can be based on an upper chamber located above a lower chamber, both adjacent chambers are located within a container. The upper chamber comprises tiny slots allowing the liquid in the container to enter the upper chamber and exert a weight on a diaphragm gasket functioning as a common-wall of the two adjacent chambers. The diaphragm gasket exerts pressure resulting from the liquid weight, on the lower chamber containing the pressure sensor designed to measure the pressure exerted on the lower chamber. In some embodiments, the device and method disclosed herein are used for measuring changes in the pressure at the bottom of the container, wherein the pressure changes are indicative of changes in the liquid level. In some embodiments, the measured pressure can be one or more pressure values measured in a continuously fashion by a one or more pressure sensors.
