In the oil and gas industry, minimizing downtime is critical for maintaining efficiency and reducing costs. FW Murphy’s LM500 lube level maintainers and scrubber level switches, along with Murphy by Enovation Controls’ level switches, level instruments, and maintainers, provide robust and dependable solutions for managing liquid levels in engines, compressors, separators, and other critical equipment. These innovative products are designed to ensure smooth operations, reduce maintenance needs, and support environmental compliance.


How FW Murphy and Murphy by Enovation Controls Level Controllers Work


FW Murphy’s LM500 series and Murphy by Enovation Controls’ range of mechanical level controllers use durable floats, linkages, and levers to regulate liquid levels effectively. The LM500 lube level maintainers automatically monitor and replenish crankcase oil levels in engines, pumps, or compressors. When the oil level drops, the LM500’s float opens the unique Thumb-Valve™, allowing oil to flow from the supply tank into the crankcase. Once the proper level is restored, the valve closes to prevent overfill.

Murphy by Enovation Controls’ scrubber level switches are specifically designed for harsh gas compressor applications. These devices feature rugged construction with stainless steel floats and corrosion-resistant materials to handle demanding environments. Both product lines prioritize simplicity in design, reducing failure points and ensuring consistent performance even under extreme conditions.



Why Choose FW Murphy and Murphy by Enovation Controls Level Controllers?


-Exceptional Reliability: With fewer moving parts than electronic systems, these mechanical controllers minimize potential failure points, making them highly dependable in demanding applications.


-Durability: Built with robust materials like stainless steel floats and nickel-plated components, these devices are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions.


-Low Maintenance: Their straightforward mechanical design eliminates issues like air leaks or clogs found in more complex systems, reducing maintenance time and costs.

-Enhanced Features: The LM500-TF model includes a test feature that allows operators to confirm float and switch functionality with a single press of a button, ensuring optimal performance without shutting down equipment.



Applications


FW Murphy’s LM500 lube level maintainers are ideal for engines, pumps, compressors, and other equipment requiring reliable oil level management. Their ability to prevent underfill or overfill due to human error makes them particularly valuable in critical operations. Similarly, Murphy by Enovation Controls’ scrubber level switches excel in gas compression systems where high-pressure handling and durability are essential.


These solutions are trusted across industries such as:

• Oil & Gas Production
