Abstract

Light-Emitting Diode (LED) based sensor system is developed for ex-situ placements at fluid-tanks to monitor the level of fluids through level gauge displays. The sensor system is designed for remote monitoring of operational status of industrial heavy equipment through a low-footprint internet of things (IoT) approach without involving extensive mechanical or electrical overhauling for sensor deployment. Sequential and non-sequential ray tracing simulation over visible and near infrared spectrum were conducted for optical beam propagation through air-fluid, air-glass, and glass-fluid interfaces. Fluid specific refractive index and propagation parameters were used in ray tracing simulation to design the optical path and wavelength of operation that are specific to fluids and the fluid tank configurations. Our low-footprint non-invasive approach of fluid level monitoring allows their deployment on industry installations with minimum interruption of services.
