01 · Technical overview

Functional engineering application

The Air Break / Mobley Water Level Switch is a critical magnetic float-operated safety control designed for steam boilers, feedwater tanks, and industrial pressure vessels. Utilizing a glandless magnetic coupling mechanism, the internal float moves with liquid level changes to trip an external snap-action air-break switch without mechanical seals. This eliminates low-water dry-firing hazards across steam plants in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.

Industrial Mobley air break magnetic water level switch for steam boilers, feed tanks, and pressure vessels to prevent dry firing.

Key technical advantages
Glandless magnetic drive eliminates shaft seals and prevents boiler steam leaks
Provides fail-safe low-water burner cutout protection to prevent boiler explosion
Cast heavy-duty housing withstands high thermal expansion and vibration
316 stainless steel float resists corrosive boiler feedwater chemicals
Air-break silver snap contacts deliver instantaneous electrical switching
Essential safety device for industrial steam boiler regulatory compliance
Target equipment applications
