Thermal dispersion flow switch is also called as thermal flow switch or thermal difference flow switch.Thermal dispersion flow switch belongs to a kind of digital electronic flow switch.It has no moving parts, so it features long life,higher accuracy,stable performance,wide flow range,wide pipe size,wide medium application of water,oil and air. We aim to develop and supply thermal flow switch with lower price.
Thermal flow switch is developed on basis of thermal diffusion technology. The value of thermal diffusion that is calculated by 2 heat resistors is used to measure flow rate of water,oil or air. When the flow rate is over the settable value,the flow switch will produce signal to relay,then relay to control ON/OFF of flow.Thermal flow switch has other terms:digital flow switch, thermal flow indicator,thermal flow controller,etc. The default output is LED status indication for flow range,but LCD display window can be provided. It is ideal solution for you to replace existing mechanical flow switch.
Our thermal flow switch adopts fully enclosed design which can ensure water-proof and damp-proof. Its probe is specially processed and solve the problem of probe corrosion and scaling while under poor quality water. Thermal flow switch is no maintenance after setting and no need to do adjusting often.So it is a kind of wide-using flow switch and can be widely used for pipe flow control in industries of petroleum, chemical, electric power, water treatment, metallurgy, paper making, ship and boiler, etc.
Principle
Thermal flow switch is designed on the principle of thermal diffusion.Thermal diffusion technology is a kind of reliable technology,even though under harsh environments.Its typical sensing parts include two thermal resistors. When the two resistors are put in fluid, and one is heated,the other is used to sense medium temperature. The temperature difference of two resistors is relative with medium flow and medium character. When heating power is permanent,temperature difference has a functional relationship with flow rate. Electrical wiring module can get flow rate by checking the temperature difference between the two resistors.Then the module outputs 4-20mA or control relay.Meanwhile, LED light can indicate current flow rate.
