Flow Switch

Flow switches are a type of switch that are used to detect the flow of a liquid or gas in a system. They are commonly used in various applications, such as HVAC systems, water treatment plants, and industrial processes.

In the supply class "Switches" within the supply group "Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components," flow switches are specifically designed to monitor and control the flow of fluids. They typically consist of a mechanical or electronic sensor that is activated when the flow of the fluid reaches a certain threshold.

Flow switches can be used to trigger other devices or systems, such as pumps, valves, or alarms, based on the presence or absence of flow. They are essential for ensuring the proper functioning and safety of fluid-based systems.

When selecting a flow switch, it is important to consider factors such as the flow rate range, pressure rating, compatibility with the fluid being monitored, and the electrical requirements of the system.
