Level Control Specifications
The complete Hydromatic HPLC level
control system must be contained in a single non-metallic assembly. The outer
shell of the assembly shall be constructed of PVC with a minimum wall thickness
of .200. Liquid level sensing shall be accomplished by means of a reliable
Zero Friction Rolling Diaphragm.
The diaphragm shall be constructed of Nitrile®. Increases in the liquid level
will exert more pressure on the rolling diaphragm causing the adjustable level
switches to operate. The level switches shall be mounted on a switch track with
a minimum of 20 easily adjustable set points. Each level switch contained in the
assembly shall be rated a minimum of 5 amps at 115 volts, and be of the SPDT configuration.
The level switch track assembly shall be constructed of ABS. Access to the switch
track shall require no tools. The liquid level to switch actuator travel ratio
must be a minimum of 5 to 1.
The level switch assembly shall not contain any mercury, or bubbler tubes, and
no cords or electrical components will be submerged. The level switch assembly
shall operate within its own diameter and shall not be affected by turbulent
conditions. Switches that require lateral movement will not be accepted. Under
normal operating conditions the level sensing diaphragm shall remain submerged
to eliminate problems caused by grease build up or floating debris. Mounting of
the assembly shall be accomplished by means of a stainless steel bracket with
thumb screws to allow for overall height adjustment and ease of maintenance.
The complete assembly must be constructed so that level adjustments and normal
maintenance procedures do not require any tools to complete.
