Granted: 1908-05-18
Abstract: 6535. Stelting, B. F. C., and Volbehr, H. F. L. March 18. Signalling position of liquid levels.-In electric apparatus for indicating the presence and height of liquids in a ship's compartments or other spaces, a number of superposed plates a, placed in a compartment, are so connected electrically to corresponding electro-magnets b that, as the liquid rises, resistances c<1>, c<2>, c<3> are switched by the electromagnets out of a secondary circuit containing a current meter A, which thus indicates the number of plates submerged and the height of the liquid An indicator D, connected to each compartment, indicates the compartments into which the liquid has penetrated. Should the liquid rise to the fourth plate, Fig. 4, the primary current from the battery K flows through the liquid to the electromagnet connected to that plate, and, by breaking the contact e with the armature arm d, the previous plates and their electro-magnets are placed out of circuit. The secondary current containing the resistances c<2>, c<3> is then completed through the insulated contact f upon the armature arm, the resistance c<1> being cut out of the circuit. If the electro-magnets should get out of order, the primary current flows into the resistance through the wires l, m, n. A second switch C connecting the two lowest plates is provided in order to test the working of the apparatus.
