Water Level Monitors
Last Updated on: Friday, August 29, 2008 02:34 PM
 

Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Electrodeless Water Level Monitor
    This system operates much like a classic float switch but without any moving parts.  The illustration shows how a system using two copper coils sealed inside a plastic pipe, can detect the level of water outside the pipe.  Whenever the water level is lower than the upper coil, no signal is coupled between the coils.  Once calibrated, this technique might also work on the outside of a plastic water tank.  (added 7/06)

Although most units are very reliable, the storage-reservoir control usually uses a single level-detector component. Failure of this component can lead to serious water damage....

Water Level Reference Design:  The Water Level Reference design continuously monitors water level and water flow using the temperature compensated MPXM2010GS pressure sensor in the low cost MPAK package, a dual op–amp, and the MC68HC908QT4, 8–pin microcontroller. This system uses very few components, reducing the overall system cost. This allows for a solution to compete with a mechanical switch for water level detection but also offer additional applications such as monitoring water flow for leak detection, and the other applications for smart washing machines.  (Circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
