Series 190 Single Stage Top Mount Displacer Type Level Control

Single Stage Top Mount Displacer Type Level Control Fixed or Adjustable Deadband, For Pumps or Alarms

Fixed or Adjustable Deadband, For Pumps or Alarms

One of our most versatile level controls, the Series 190 can be used on all types of tank or sump level control applications.

Mercoid® Displacer Controls use displacers that do not float on the surface of liquids, but are suspended on a coil spring. They work on the principle that submerged solids weigh less in liquids, and as the liquid level rises and their weight decreases, the tension on the spring by which they are suspended is decreased. Because they work on a different principle than float type liquid level controls, displacers are not affected by turbulence or pressure, and are excellent for applications with viscous or dirty liquids.

Product Applications

  • Pumping stations
  • Foaming liquids
  • Sanitary/sewage treatment
  • Paints & varnishes
  • Agitated or turbulent fluids
  • Heavy oil refineries
  • Chemical plants
  • Power generating stations
  • Viscous or dirty liquids
