Customer Challenge:
A customer operating in a cryogenic environment relied on a prismatic glass gage to monitor liquid levels. However, ice frequently formed on the gage due to the extreme temperatures, completely obscuring the view (see righthand photo).
To check the level, operators had to:
Drain the liquid.
Isolate the gage.
Wait 3–4 hours for the ice to melt.
Once reopened, the gage would only provide a clear reading for a few minutes before icing up again, causing significant operational inefficiencies.
The Jerguson Solution:
The customer replaced the prismatic glass gage with a Jerguson® FlashProof ™ Magnicator®, equipped with cryogenic insulation and a non-frost extension. The oversized chamber design ensured the float delivered accurate level readings and the cryogenic insulation & non-frost extension prevented ice formation on the gage, maintaining visibility and accuracy.
Results:
The new gage allowed continuous, reliable level monitoring without the need for draining or defrosting, saving time, improving operational efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs.
