1) This installation is typical for most high level sensing applications where the vessel is accessible from the top. If high temperature is expected within the vessel then have a close look at diagram number 2. An extension tube can be fitted which has some ventilation holes in the side, however there are some other considerations. Firstly, there should be a suction system already installed onto the vessel which would cause a vacuum draft through the holes in the extension tube to keep the heat away from the bearings. Secondly, the internal vessel temperature may melt the nylon rod if it exceeds 110oC. You may need to fit an alternative probe rod, such as Teflon or metal etc. (Call us for advice)
