Why Opt for a Vented Water Level Sensor with VACORDA?

In the realm of industrial measurement, the choice of equipment can significantly impact accuracy and reliability. At VACORDA, with our 28 years of dedicated service, we highlight the benefits of using a vented water level sensor. Here’s why this type of sensor is a superior choice for various applications.

The Case for Vented Water Level Sensors

Vented water level sensors have become a staple in industries requiring precise and consistent measurement of liquid levels. Here’s why they are a preferred choice:

The Significance of the Vent Tube in VACORDA’s Sensors

Pressure Equilibrium for Accuracy The core reason for using a vented water level sensor, as offered by VACORDA, is to achieve pressure equilibrium. The vent tube in our sensors equalizes the pressure inside the sensor housing with the external atmosphere. This balance is vital for:

  • Accurate Measurement: By ensuring the sensor measures only the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column, the vent tube guarantees precise level readings.

Preventing Contamination and Moisture Intrusion VACORDA’s vented sensors are equipped with a vent tube that serves as a protective barrier against moisture and contaminants. Here’s how it helps:

  • Protection: The vent tube allows air to pass through while blocking water and particles, thanks to a hydrophobic filter or membrane.

Enhancing Sensor Performance and Lifespan The vent tube in VACORDA’s sensors not only ensures accuracy but also contributes to the longevity of the device:

  • Extended Life: By keeping moisture out, the vent tube prevents corrosion and extends the sensor’s operational life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Key Benefits of Using a Vented Water Level Sensor from VACORDA

  1. Unmatched Measurement Accuracy VACORDA’s vented sensors provide reliable measurements by maintaining the integrity of the hydrostatic pressure reading, free from the interference of external pressure changes.

  2. Reduced Maintenance and Downtime With the vent tube in place, our sensors require less maintenance, leading to lower costs and less downtime for your operations.

  3. Improved Reliability in Tough Conditions Whether faced with temperature extremes or high humidity, VACORDA’s vented sensors maintain consistent performance, ensuring your measurements are reliable even in harsh environments.

Considerations for Optimal Performance with VACORDA’s Vented Sensors

When installing a vented water level sensor from VACORDA, it’s important to:

  • Keep the cable end dry: Use a desiccant cartridge to prevent water vapor from entering the vent tube and potentially obstructing it.

  • Schedule regular maintenance: Prevent the desiccant from becoming saturated to avoid moisture entry and maintain the vent tube’s functionality.

  • Assess the installation location: In flood-prone areas, ensure the desiccant cartridge end is installed above potential flood levels.

In Conclusion: Why Choose VACORDA’s Vented Water Level Sensors?

For unparalleled accuracy, durability, and reliability in water level measurement, VACORDA’s vented water level sensors are the clear choice.
