Illuminating wet cells: An optical infrared electrolyte level detector.
Dave Battle, Chief Technology Officer, NDSL, Inc.
This paper presents a novel optical infrared electrolyte level detector, with insight into the technology it is based on. It reviews different liquid level monitoring approaches and explains why electrolyte level detection has requirements that make conventional and previous solutions inappropriate. The paper explains why this technology is well suited for utility substation applications. Best practices and a glimpse into future versions of the electrolyte level monitoring technology will also be presented.
