HNF10-AC Thermal Conductivity Flow Switch Parameters

Specific Parameters

Value / Description

Measurement Principle

The HNF10-AC thermal conductivity flow switch is designed based on the principle of heat exchange. The probe is equipped with an internal heating module and a heat sensing module. The heat conduction of the flow switch is closely related to the flow rate of the medium. During measurement, the heating module emits heat. If there is no medium flow in the pipeline, the amount of heat received by the heat sensing module is a fixed value. When there is medium flow, the amount of heat received by the heat sensing module will change with the flow rate of the medium. The heat sensing module converts this temperature difference signal into an electrical signal, which is then converted by the processor into a corresponding standard analog signal or contact signal output. The flow switch uses this signal to display and control the flow rate of the medium.
