A system for detecting a flow restriction in a drainage pipe and a liquid level sensor module for sensing the liquid level in a pipe

A system for detecting a flow restriction in a pipe comprises two pipe level sensors 10 one each side of an inlet 7 along the pipe, fig. 1. A controller compares the pipe levels and indicates a restriction between the level sensors if the level signals differ too much. A pipe liquid level sensor mod...

Zusammenfassung:A system for detecting a flow restriction in a pipe comprises two pipe level sensors 10 one each side of an inlet 7 along the pipe, fig. 1. A controller compares the pipe levels and indicates a restriction between the level sensors if the level signals differ too much. A pipe liquid level sensor module 8, fig. 2 comprises a circular body 17 releasably retained by a collar 11 and sealed in a port 14. The body 17 supports a liquid level sensor 10 to sense the liquid level in the pipe. The module may be in a T shape housing 6. A condensate drain pump system fig. 7 comprises a pipe manifold with an inlet duct 31 at the top connected to a condensate outlet O and leading to a transverse outlet duct 32 with a liquid level sensor 10 at one end and a pump P at the opposite end to pump out liquid when the sensed level is too high.
