Disclosed herein a liquid level detection device capable of appropriately detecting a liquid level of a high temperature plasma raw material in a reservoir for storing the high temperature plasma raw material. The liquid level detection device includes: an upper limit level sensor configured to detect that the liquid level of the tin is elevated from downward to reach an upper limit level; and a refilling level sensor configured to detect that the liquid level of the tin is lowered from upward to reach a refilling level or a lower limit level. A detection responsiveness of the liquid level of the upper limit level sensor is higher than the refilling level sensor or the lower limit level sensor, and a detectability of the liquid level of the refilling level sensor or the lower limit level sensor is higher than the upper limit level sensor.

A probe unit having a coaxial structure and including a probe electrode, a guard electrode and a contacting module arranged on a section of the probe electrode, which contacting module including an insulating sleeve, a flexible circuit board with a first conduction path for the electrical contacting of the probe electrode and a second conduction path for the electrical contacting of the guard electrode, and a module housing, wherein a first contact plate is provided that electrically contacts the first conduction path, the module housing including a second contact plate that electrically contacts the second conduction path, wherein the module housing has a pot-shaped geometry with a cylindrical wall, which wall substantially surrounds, protects and/or electromagnetically shields at least the probe electrode in the region in which the contacting module is arranged, at least a part of the insulating sleeve, and at least sections of the circuit board.

Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to a sensor probe kit that has an electrical connection that ensures a sensor probe has been properly positioned in a boiler well. In some embodiments, the sensor probe kit has a seating mechanism that positively positions a sensor probe at a predetermined position within a boiler well. In many instances, the seating mechanism provides tactile feedback to an installer when the sensor probe is properly positioned within the boiler well. These features can help ensure the sensor probe is properly installed, and helps keep the sensor probe electrically connected to the well at all times after installation.

A liquid surface detector includes a tube through which a liquid passes; an electrode pin disposed on an inner wall of the tube; and a ground pin disposed on the inner wall of the tube. In the liquid surface detector, the electrode pin and the ground pin are disposed in different directions as viewed from an axial direction of the tube.

A fluid level and conductivity sensor having a sensing probe with four electrodes disposed therein particularly suited for high temperature applications. A distal end of the second and third electrodes are positioned a distance from the sensing end that is greater than distal ends of the first and fourth electrodes. The sensor includes an electronics system having a signal relay system for receiving signals from each of the electrodes and switching between different measurement modes by determining a resistance between selected pairs of electrodes based on instructions from the microcontroller. The measurement modes include a conductivity measurement mode in which a resistance between the first and fourth electrodes is determined, and a fluid level measurement mode in which a resistance between the first and third electrodes is determined and compared to a resistance between the second and third electrodes.

The present disclosure generally relates to liquid level meter, and more particularly, to a flexible multi liquid level measurement apparatus and method. There is a vast need in industry and water resource management to measure level of liquid in arbitrary shaped well and in tank contained more than one liquid. Ordinary methods are not capable to determine liquid level in said cases. This disclosure proposes a liquid level meter (910) which measurement apparatus (905) is flexible. The apparatus is capable to measure liquid level in an arbitrary shape well or tank (900) where the well or tank has filled with more than one liquid (915,920,925). The measurement apparatus and method disclosed here is completely digital at inventive subject matter level and doesn't affect by environmental noises and conditions.

A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, first and second temperature sensors, and a control module. The shell may define a lubricant sump. The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and may be operable to compress a working fluid. The first temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a first position. The second temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a second position that is vertically higher than the first position. The control module may be in communication with the first and second temperature sensors and the pressure sensor and may determine whether a liquid level in the lubricant sump is below a predetermined level based on data received from the first and second temperature sensors.

Embodiments of a drain monitor of this disclosure monitors an active, horizontal- or vertical-oriented hose, pipe, or drain and allows a draining liquid to pass through or by the monitor without “alarming” if there is no blockage or stoppage of the drain and alarming if there is a blockage or stoppage of the drain. The monitor may include a housing having an open bottom end, a hollow interior, and a plurality of inclined thru ports providing fluid passage to the interior but preventing a draining liquid flowing past the probe from entering the hollow interior. In some embodiments, the monitor may work in reverse, meaning if the pipe or hose is supposed to have a certain level of liquid, the monitor alarms if the liquid falls below that level. A second monitor may be installed in series with the first, alarming if the liquid rises above a predetermined level.

Measuring sensor, in particular of a level of a liquid, in particular for the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine, the sensor comprising a body with a longitudinal extension with at least one related intermediate portion having cylindrical symmetry with respect to said longitudinal extension and a bushing internally complementary to said intermediate portion, so that said body can freely rotate in the bushing with respect to said longitudinal extension and wherein the bushing externally comprises fixing means for fixing the sensor to an opening of a container of said liquid.

A fluid sensor for impedance-based determination of a quantity or a quality, such as type, composition, or purity of a fluid present in the surroundings of the fluid sensor, where the fluid sensor includes a first electrically conductive electrode which is arranged on a first extruded substrate component made of an electrically insulating, thermally curable synthetic, and where the fluid sensor includes a second electrically conductive electrode which is arranged on a second extruded substrate component made of an electrically insulating, thermally curable synthetic, where in each case an electrically conductive surface both that of the first electrode and also of the second electrode is exposed in such a way that it is wettable by fluid in the surroundings of the fluid sensor.
