Level float

Avoid the use of instrumentation that may have low first cost, but is very expensive to operate or maintain. Blind controllers, for example, are completely unsatisfactory for most applications. The author has seen examples of temperature controllers set at the factory, but with no method of readout or calibration. These almost always require retrofitting of additional instrumentation later.

If the sodium fluoride surface interferes with operation of level float, make a depression in the surface of the sodium fluoride in order to provide clearance for the float and float rod. 

Connect the cold-water supply line with a solenoid valve to the distribution tube. Make sure the float system used to control the water level in the tank is operating freely and connected to the solenoid valve. Check if the solenoid valve is connected to an electrical supply. Turn on the water supply. Observe the water level. It should be slightly below the overflow if it is not, adjust the level float system. A water flow rate of 2 gpm should be sufficient and should register satisfactorily on a in. meter.

Edvinsson has studied the energy levels for ThO(g) in considerable detail in a series of papers pubhshed from 1965 to 1991. At the last count, 28 levels had been identified experimentally, with only two inter-coimected levels floating . These are summarised in Table VII-1 where the parameters in italics have been estimated. 

Special attention should be paid to level float devices (e.g., controllers, switches, indicators) at startups. Occasionally, a float will collapse or drop off during pressure testing (421) or other commissioning operation. One technique for checking the float (421) is by lifting it with a rod, then wriggling the rod one can then usually hear the float hitting the side of the float chamber. 

Hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen peroxide-water stQl A low levd signal at the reboiler served as a safely device to prevent low liquid level. The level float, which was located in the idxnkr boiling liquid, failed to detect a low level condition. This caused an explosion. Locate level devices on a bridle and not in the boiling liquid.

The mobile reference datum can be provided by a levelling (floating) averaging beam or by sonic sensors. 

All asphalt screeds are of the self-levelling floating type. In other words, the screed floats (rides up or down) on the asphalt seeking the level where the path of its flat screed plate is parallel to the direction of pull. A floating-type screed is shown in Figure 8.12.

On one unit the level float in the boot would jump an inch or two when the bottoms pump started to lose NPSH. An air leak in a suction line flange was later found. 

Designate on your flowsheet the indicators that are displayed on the control panel also show which valves are controlled from the control board. Mark all the level alarms on your flowsheet. Find the mercuroid switches or level float pots outside that activate the inside level alarms. These are located on the process vessels. With a crayon, indicate their functions. 

Flumes and (especially) basins have a tendency to leak. A water level controller is important to maintain the water level within a certain tolerance. A point gage and automatic water level float with solenoid valve are configured to turn on a small water supply to keep up with any water losses during the experiments. A tolerance on the water level of 0.6 mm is sufficient to ensure accurate wave measurements. The controller mechanism should be located away from the measurement area to prevent any ripples from the flow of water during or immediately preceding a run. Often, they are turned off during a run to avoid contamination from induced electric currents. 

Sensor technology is progressing rapidly there have been considerable improvements in capability, accuracy, size, and cost. Pressure transducers, temperature thermocouples, electrical ammeters, revolution counters, and a liquid height level float are examples found in most automobiles. 

After the dump valve is closed, with the toggle switch on the front console at the "Pump On" position, water may be pumped into the reactor vessel by operating the control switch, provided limit switches indicate full insertion of the control rods and the water level is below a "High Level Float Interlock" in the reactor vessel. A high-multiplication trip in the source interlock circuit, which de-energizes the safety rod clutches, insures that kgx in the reactor is below a preset value.
