Abstract (en)

[origin: ES472042A1] A level indicator comprises a tubular probe immersed in the liquid to a depth defining the minimum liquid level in the reservoir. The probe communicates with a gas-filled chamber with a heating resistor therein. A warning member is connected to the gas-filled chamber to indicate that the level of the liquid reaches a minimum as indicated by no pressure increase occurring in said chamber.
