Abstract

A device for monitoring liquid includes an apparatus for measuring a parameter representative of the density of the liquid to be monitored. This measurement apparatus includes at least one floating structure, at least one member for determining the position of at least a part of the floating structure, and at least one transmitter for transmitting data. The device includes an enclosure accommodating the floating structure and a system for hanging the enclosure. The enclosure has a first end and extends from the first end in the direction of the opposite second end, forming a chamber delimited by a solid wall and a porous wall so as to form inside the chamber, in the manner of a diving bell, with a first space in which air is able to be trapped in the submerged state of the enclosure and a second space inside which the liquid to be monitored can circulate. The hanging system includes a suspension rod connected at one end to the enclosure and equipped at its opposite end with a hanging member for keeping the enclosure in the suspended state.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for monitoring liquid, comprising an apparatus (2) for measuring a parameter representative of the density of the liquid (30) to be monitored, this measurement apparatus (2) comprising at least one floating structure (3), at least one member (4) for determining the position of at least a part of the floating structure (3), and at least one transmitter (5) for transmitting data. The device (1) comprises an enclosure (6) accommodating the floating structure (3) and a system (7) for hanging the enclosure (6). The enclosure (6) has a first end (8) and extends from the first end in the direction of the opposite second end, forming a chamber (10) delimited by a solid wall (11) and a porous wall (12) so as to form inside the chamber (10), in the manner of a diving bell, a first space (14) in which air is able to be trapped in the submerged state of the enclosure (6) and a second space (15) inside which the liquid to be monitored can circulate, and the hanging system (7) comprises a suspension rod (16) connected at one end (17) to the enclosure (6) and equipped at its opposite end (18) with a hanging member (19) for keeping the enclosure (6) in the suspended state.
