<p>A detector probe (4) is at least partially immersed in the liquid of which it is desired to detect the level, and carries an associated electrical heating element (5), a pair of thermoelectric sensors (6, 7), one of which (6) detects the temperature level reached by the heating element (5) when the latter is energised. The two sensors (6, 7) are connected in an electrical measuring circuit (11 to 16) which, in dependence on the difference between the temperature levels detected by the two sensors (6, 7), permits the identification and signalling (16) of the occurrence of a situation in which the dissipation by the liquid of the heat generated by the heating element (5) is reduced as a result of the lowering of the level of the liquid.</p> |
