The SEPARIX-C L Plus interface sensors
The SEPARIX-C L Plus interface sensors, in conjunction with the SEPARIX-Control CT meas-uring transducer, form an automatic warning device for light liquid separators. The warningsystem responds to a change in the thickness of the oil / light liquid layer. It generates analarm signal before the automatic closure device shuts off the outlet of the separator dueto a high oil / light liquid level.
The sensor works according to the capacitive measuring principle: To detect the interface,it uses the difference between the relative dielectric constant of water and of light liquids,e.g. oil. The measurement on the SEPARIX-C L Plus is made over the entire surface of the 6 cm long measuring range. This helps to achievesignificant insensitivity to contaminations that couldotherwise trigger false alarms.
The SEPARIX-C L Plus high-level sensor
The SEPARIX-C L Plus high-level sensor, in conjunction with the SEPARIX-Control CT meas-uring transducer, forms an automatic warning device for light liquid separators. The warningsystem responds to the level of liquid in the separator (whether oil, light liquid or water). Itgenerates an alarm signal whenever the liquid level in the separator rises above an imper-missible threshold, e.g. due to reverse flow from the separator outlet, or because theautomatic closure device has shut off the outlet of the separator due to a high oil / lightliquid layer.
The SEPARIX-Control CT measuring transducer
The SEPARIX-Control CT measuring transducer serves as power supply and signal pro-cessing of the connected SEPARIX-C L Plus interface sensor and/or the SEPARIX-T L Plushigh-level sensor and together with the sensors forms a warning system for light liquidseparators.
