FLOW RATE ALARMS

Categories: ,

The Flow Rate Alarm is a rugged “flow switch” device that monitors flow and sends a signal using simple on/off logic if rates are out of spec. The weather tight NEMA 4x cast aluminum enclosure allows for outdoor installation and washdowns. Alarm settings are easily adjusted in the field with an allen wrench. The standard Hirschman interconnection provides easy installation and maintenance.

Applications include:

  • Cooling systems
  • Lubrication systems
  • Mobile hydraulic equipment
  • Industrial process

FLOW RATE ALARMS ensures sufficient flows of coolants and lubricants in mobile hydraulic equipment and industrial
process control. Field adjustable alarm setting available in single or duel switch.

  • Variable Area Flow Meter: The system uses a variable area flow meter to measure the flow rate.
  • This meter has a float that rises or falls in a tapered tube based on the fluid’s flow.
  • Alarm Sensor: An alarm switch or sensor is mounted on the flow meter’s tube at a specific, adjustable point.
  • Float Position: As the float moves with the fluid’s flow, it passes the sensor’s position.
  • Alarm Signal: The alarm can be a simple on/off signal, a contact closure, or an inductive proximity sensor that sends a signal to a control panel or other system. 
  • Alarm Trigger: When the float reaches a pre-set level, the sensor detects this change and triggers an alarm.
    • An upper limit alarm activates if the flow is too high.
    • A lower limit alarm activates if the flow is too low.
