Abstract

This invention relates to means of detecting fluid, and is particularly, but not necessarily exclusively, concerned with the detection of water in cargo holds and other compartments of bulk carriers or other sea-going vessels. Water ingress into such as cargo holds can cause considerable damage, and it is known to fit water detectors, but which are restricted as to where they can be fitted, are not easily accessed for maintenance and repair, and do not allow automatic in situ testing and cleaning of filters. Such disadvantages are avoided by the present invention which comprises a fluid sensor, a housing for the fluid sensor, a fluid inlet to the housing, a particulate filter, a fluid outlet from the housing, a support means for the housing, said support means serving as a conduit for fluid to direct fluid to the inlet to the housing, and said conduit being adapted for connection to the external/internal surface of the wall of an enclosed area, in communication with a through hole in the wall or adapted for connection to an open ended pipe/conduit the lower end of which terminates in the lower part of an enclosed area.
