Pressure Ranges

▲
Burst Pressure
200 psi
Compressed Air Requirement
35 psig to 150 psig supply pressure at control inlet. (Minimum supply pressure should be at least 20 psig greater than anticipated maximum liquid head pressure.)
Operating Limit (Maximum Pressure)
Pressure above 300% nominal range (overrange) will result in damage to the transmitter (200% may cause a shift in calibration). Burst pressure is 200 psi and will cause catastrophic and physical failure of the pressure element.

Features

Downpipe Level Sensor
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
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
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 1000 feet from the tank.
Downpipe Liquid Level Sensor
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.
Hazardous Zone Service
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.

Additional Information
  • Continuous level measurement
  • Reliable, proven sensing technique
  • Simple to install and maintain
A downpipe is the simplest type of liquid level sensor, often referred to as a "bubbler." This is merely a length of open ended pipe that extends downward into the tank. LiquiSeal™ or Purge Control differential pressure air flow regulators are highly refined versions of the basic bubbler air control.

788 D/P Purge Control is a more basic differential pressure regulator and air flow control. It generates a constant flow of compressed air to purge a downpipe. Its integral differential pressure transmitter provides 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid level. 780 Purge Control is an all-pneumatic version that does not include the integral transmitter. It provides a 1:1 pressure signal to a compatible indicator or external transducer through 1/4 in. airline tubing. The purge control holds a fixed pressure differential across a precision orifice to ensure constant flow rate of 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour). This regulated low flow rate makes it possible to maintain a linear 1:1 response of the sensing system. In this way, backpressure sensed is equivalent to the hydrostatic head pressure due to actual liquid depth.
