For what parameter is a high water level sensor needed in air receivers?

A high water level sensor in air receivers is essential for avoiding system failure, as it helps prevent flooding of the air receiver with condensate water. Condensate is a common byproduct of compressed air systems and can accumulate in air receivers over time. If the water level becomes too high, it can lead to several issues, such as corrosion of the equipment, structural stress, and impairment of the compressed air delivery system. In severe cases, it may cause water to be expelled into the air lines, potentially damaging downstream equipment or causing malfunctions. Therefore, the sensor allows for timely drainage of excess water, ensuring the system operates efficiently and reliably, thereby avoiding the risk of failure.
