Downpipe Level Sensor |
N/A
When purged with compressed air, liquid within the downpipe is displaced by air pressure equal to the hydrostatic force of liquid in the tank. If carefully regulated at a low rate of flow, air pressure will constantly maintain equilibrium against the force of the liquid. Air escapes out through the bottom of the pipe unless needed to increase pressure as liquid force (depth) increases. The primary sensor element is typically 3/4 in. diameter pipe purchased from a local source. Always select piping material for compatibility with the tank contents. Downpipe purge systems can be used to measure virtually any type of liquid product including resins, asphalt or corrosive materials. Output is proportional to liquid depth and can be transmitted as an electronic 4-20 mA signal or pneumatically as a direct 1:1 pressure signal. |
LiquiSeal™ Purge Control |
N/A
LiquiSeal™ D/P purge control is a fully integrated air purge regulator and level transmitter. Operation is based on the control regulating a continuous 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour) flow of compressed air into the tank downpipe. An internal differential pressure sensor element converts resulting pressure into a 4-20 mAdc two wire signal. An all-pneumatic version of the LiquiSeal™ purge control is available. It provides a 1:1 pressure signal to a compatible indicator or external transducer through 1/4 in. airline tubing. All LiquiSeal™ purge controls feature an internal isolation diaphragm. Backpressure created by the continuous purging of the downpipe is applied to this internal diaphragm. Working as a pneumatic transmitter, an equivalent pressure is generated on the gauge side of the diaphragm. This process effectively isolates downstream components from contact with the liquid or vapor releases. |
Pneumatic Output Signal |
N/A Purge Control or LiquiSeal™ Control provides air pressure signal to an external transmitter or compatible indicator (with integral transducer). Typically, 1/4" poly or soft copper tubing is used to convey the pressure signal up to 1,000 feet from the tank. |
Downpipe Liquid Level Sensor |
N/A Control regulates compressed air flow to pipe extending down toward tank bottom. Depth of liquid causes air pressure to increase or decrease proportionally. A differential pressure (D/P) transmitter provides a 4-20 mA signal that can be used for remote indication or process control functions. |
Pneumatic Output to Indicator |
N/A Purge Control continuously purges tank downpipe and creates pressure corresponding to hydrostatic head of liquid. This pressure signal is conveyed through 1/4 in. airline tubing to a compatible electronic or pneumatic column indicator. |
Electronic Output to Indicator |
N/A D/P Purge Control senses hydrostatic pressure due to liquid depth and transmits a proportional 4-20 mA output. KING-GAGE® indicator correlates level to tank geometry to display actual volume amount (or weight) of liquid in tank. |
Hazardous Zone Service |
N/A The downpipe sensor and pneumatic components are fully compatible with explosion hazard environments. This makes pneumatic the sensible alternative for hazardous areas without the cost and complications of intrinsic safety barriers or explosion-proof products. Assumes only pneumatic components are situated in explosion hazard zone |
Principles of Operation |
N/A
Purging a downpipe with compressed air creates a force balance, resulting in pneumatic pressure equal to the hydrostatic pressure due to liquid depth in the tank. The LiquiSeal™ Purge Control works as a constant flow regulator, providing a continuous flow of air (1 cfh) into the downpipe. Pressure is created as liquid is purged from the downpipe. This pneumatic pressure is the basis for the tank level measurement because it is equal to the hydrostatic (liquid) pressure which is directly proportional to liquid depth. For any increase or decrease of depth, there will also be a corresponding change in the pneumatic pressure. When equilibrium exists (i.e., air pressure = liquid pressure), the continuous flow of air escapes through the open end of the downpipe. This air bubbles up through the liquid hence the reason why this type of level sensing is often termed a "bubbler". |
Gauging System |
N/A
A complete tank gauging system can be configured using pneumatic components or can include electronic transmitters and indicators. Pneumatic sensors and indicators are inherently safe and explosion proof since there are no electrical components involved. A pneumatic system transmits a pressure signal through small bore tubing (typically 1/4" OD) to the pneumatic indicator. The location of the indicator may be up to several hundred feet from the LiquiSeal™ control. An electronic system using the D/P LiquiSeal™ generates a 4-20 mA signal to the indicator. This electronic signal can be transmitted over several thousand feet using twisted pair (2-wire) cable. The indicator can be either an analog column display or digital readout, depending upon preference. Since the primary element of either system is merely an open-ended pipe, the variety of material selections assures compatibility with tank contents. It may also be readily replaced by the user from any conveniently available source. |
Ballast Tank Indicating System |
N/A LiquiSeal™ control provides compressed air flow to downpipe. The tubing (3/8-in. OD) also conveys the resulting pressure due to liquid depth. The purge control then retransmits an isolated pneumatic signal or 4-20 mA electronic signal to the indicator. |
Draft Indicating System |
N/A Length of pipe penetrates hull a point below minimum water line. Output from the purge control proportional to liquid depth is transmitted to the indicator which displays actual draft measurement. |

Tank Level and Draft Applications |
N/A
The LiquiSeal™ Purge Control can be used to sense tank levels or measure ship's draft. The output signal (pneumatic or electronic 4-20 mAdc) can be transmitted to KING-GAGE® indicators in the engine room, control center or ship's bridge. Applications Include:
|
Tank Gauging Applications |
N/A A complete tank level gauging system can be configured using either pneumatic Purge Controls or D/P Purge Controls. The output signal can be routed to either a analog column display or digital readout. Indication is then provided directly as the total weight or volume of liquid in the tank. |
Additional Information |
N/A
Purge Controls
LiquiSeal ™ Downpipe Purge Control
LiquiSeal™ Purge Control is a fully integrated air purge regulator and pressure transmitter. It can be mounted directly adjacent to the tank or remotely up to 50 feet away. 3/8" air line tubing connects the LiquiSeal™ unit to the pipe extending downward in the tank. A supply of compressed air is required for system operation. The rugged brass construction is especially suited to the rigors of marine service. Beneath a durable gloss epoxy finish, the machined brass body and housing resists corrosion while affording maximum protection. For explosion hazard areas, an all-pneumatic version of the LiquiSeal™ can be used without the need for intrinsic safety provisions. |
