Abstract (en)

[origin: US2013213818A1] An apparatus and method for detecting a liquid level in an electrolytic cell are disclosed herein, the apparatus comprising a level tube in fluid contact with the electrolytic cell; a proximity sensor positioned to detect the presence or absence of liquid at a predetermined level in the level tube; and a control system responsive to the proximity sensor, wherein the control system is in communication with the liquid level sensor via a communication system. The proximity sensor detects the presence or absence of fluid in the level tube and sends a signal to the control system via the communication system; and the control system provides an indication of liquid level.
