Optoprox(TM) Photoelectric Sensor offers simplicity of mounting, aligning, and handling of inductive proximity sensor, but without range limitations. It features focused red light beam with fixed sensing range up to 23 mm, complete with background suppression. Unit can target very small objects and sense difficult-to-detect black plastic, metal, and rubber parts. Applications include presence sensing, positioning, controlling, and monitoring of discrete and process automation sequences.

Inductive Conductivity Control For Cooling Tower Desalination

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 03:04:08 +0100

As water evaporates in the water tower, the ICT1 measures the increasing salt concentration through the increasing conductivity. When a preset upper level is reached, the Cool-Control system opens a valve and the water drained and fresh make up water introduced until the conductivity drops to a preset lower level...
