District-heating companies · chambers and ducts
A flooded heating chamber shows up in the panel, not in a breakdown
Valve chambers, heating ducts, drainage wells: the LTE sensor detects water on the floor, measures its level, temperature and humidity, and raises the alarm before the water reaches the valves.
The problem
What happens when nobody is looking
Flooded chambers found during the walk-round
A network leak or groundwater builds up for weeks. The sensor detects water appearing on the floor and reports how fast it is rising.
A temperature spike means a pipeline leak
Hot water in the chamber raises temperature and humidity sharply. Separate thresholds for each value tell groundwater apart from a network failure.
Hundreds of chambers, a small team
One panel for the whole city, sites grouped by district, alarms to the duty officer, and data over the API to the dispatch system.
Installation
It hangs under the lid. Nothing touches the liquid.
The transmitter hangs under the chamber cover or on the wall above the lowest point. The IP67 housing is designed for permanent damp and the high temperature of a chamber; the 3.6 V lithium battery lasts about 2 years. The sensor measures the distance to the water surface: when the chamber is dry it reports “no water”; when flooding appears it immediately shows the level.
Which variant
LTE: no cables in the chamber
Its own SIM card, logger mode for chambers with limited coverage, humidity and temperature measurement only in this variant.
Aquilo LTE Liquid Level Sensor Wireless →Mains-powered LTE
In chambers with power: a reading every few minutes, no battery changes.
Aquilo LTE Liquid Level Sensor Mains-Powered →Panel and API
Every site in one Panel
Sensor data is available in the web Panel, a list and a map of all the organisation’s sites with the last reading, battery level and signal, and over the REST API, which can feed SCADA, GIS or a dispatch system. The duty officer sees alarms in the Panel and in the mobile app.
- Web Panel: all chambers on one list and map, alarms highlighted
- Flood detection + water level
- Temperature and humidity with separate thresholds
- 2 years of history, CSV export
- REST API for the dispatch system

Rollout for organisations
We start with a few sites, tune thresholds and roles, then scale up. Service and spare parts in the EU.
Arrange a pilot“Everything works as it should, technical support almost immediate. I recommend the sensor and the app.”
- Organisation account: many sites, administrator / service / viewer roles
- REST API with OpenAPI documentation: data for SCADA, GIS, BI
- Logger mode in LTE for places with patchy coverage
- A pilot on a few sites before the rollout decision
