Aquarian 3000Visual Bi-Colour Gauge Illuminator Series 2 and Display

The Aquarian 3000Visual is a high pressure ported water level gauge used to measure the water level in high-pressure boiler steam drums. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code states that “ported gages or end-connected strip gages, shall be equipped to afford obvious visual discrimination between the appearance of water or vapor in the individual sections.” The Solid State Bi-Colour Gauge Illuminator and Display attach to the 3000 psi ported gauge to produce a red or green image on the display. A red image indicates that steam is present and a green image indicates that water is present. The red/green image is produced by an array of solid-state light emitting diodes (LED’s) and precision lenses that focus the image through the gauge body onto the display. The LED’s replace the unfocused incandescent light bulb and colored glass that are currently used in conventional
bi-colour illuminators.

The LED arrays and precision Plano-convex lens provide a bright, clear and unmistakable image in the presence of steam and water. The high intensity narrow beam LED’s are mounted on an electronic printed circuit board with current limiting resistors. A precision 24VDC power supply provides the Illuminator with the exact current that is required for a constant clean image.
