More Information
Summary:A fluid level monitoring system for a container defining a chamber includes first and second flexible interdigital capacitive sensors located at first and second ends of the chamber and disposed about a longitudinal axis of the chamber. The first and second flexible interdigital capacitive sensors are configured to be immersed, at least in part, within a fluid contained in the chamber. The fluid level monitoring system further includes a controller disposed in operative communication with the first and second flexible interdigital capacitive sensors, to determine a level of the fluid in the chamber based, at least in part, on an average of measure of parameters received from the first and second flexible interdigital capacitive sensors.
