LeddarTech Thrives with Detection and Ranging for Level-Sensing Applications

QUEBEC, Quebec - June 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Cooling towers in various industries (power stations, chemical plants, oil refineries, industrial plants, HVAC systems) use water to reduce the heat generated by their process. Cooling tower manufacturers seek an effective non-intrusive solution to continuously detect the level of water in the systems and maintain optimal volumes at all times, avoiding damages from overflow or drought.

The mist created in these towers makes such environments steamy, which creates a particular challenge for traditional sensing technologies due to the fog-like conditions. Moreover, for some applications, industrial float ball level sensors are considered too intrusive.

The LeddarOne^TM Sensing Module from LeddarTech^® provides a superior solution, thanks to its infrared LED light beam allowing it to continually detect the level of liquids (or solids), regardless of the steam and other harsh conditions that may exist.
