Flow sensors - Sensors for water
The function of the flow sensor is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor is heated by a few degrees Celsius from the inside compared to the flow medium into which it protrudes. If the medium flows, the heat generated in the sensor is dissipated by the medium. The temperature generated in the sensor is measured and compared with the temperature of the medium, which is also measured. The flow condition for each medium can be derived from the temperature difference obtained. Applications for these sensors include monitoring cooling systems, ventilation systems, dry running of pumps and monitoring the presence of liquid or gas flows.
