The sensor contains two probes each with a continuous coiled RTD

(Resistance Temperature Detector) and one with an additional

continuous heater of the same length as the RTD. The probe with

RTD & Heater will be Active Probe and the other one with only

RTD will be Reference Probe. The probes are placed at a small

distance with each other so that there is minimum Heat Transfer

between them.

While in operation the active probe will be heated to a

temperature more than the ambient temperature so that there is

a temperature difference (ΔT) between the active probe and the

reference probe. ΔT will be maximum when the Fluid level is

minimum as there will be less heat transfer from the active probe

to surroundings. And similarly the ΔT will be minimum when the

fluid level is maximum as ~99% of the heat will be dissipated from

the Active probe to the fluid. This change in ΔT can be used to

calculate the corresponding Level of fluid using special electronics

provided with the sensor.

The transmitter having a power supply option of both 24V DC and

230 V AC, will take input from both the RTD's in ohms and will

convert it into 4-20mA signal which can be interpreted into the

corresponding level of the fluid in the tank and same will be cast

on a display unit supplied with the sensor.
