The Flow Switch

Lefoo has a complete line of electromechanical components, present throughout the Brazilian industry. Among these items is the flow switch.

A flow switch is used in situations where it is necessary to detect the presence or absence of a flow in a pipe. Very common in installations where hydraulic circulation is a fundamental factor in its operation.

Among the installations that use flow switches are heating installations. air conditioning installations, hydro-sanitary installations with heat exchangers for instant hot water production, water treatment installations and industrial systems and installations, in general.

The detection of flow through the pipelines aims to perform some functions, such as activating hydraulic pumps, opening and closing valves, activating alarms and signaling devices, activating and regulating additive feeders to be added to the water, among others.

The operation of a flow switch is based on the displacement of the liquid through the pipeline (flow). The increase in flow, above the pre-set value in the equipment, causes a device to be activated, activating a NO / NC contact, sending information to the rest of the system at the point where the flow was reached, allowing activation various commands.

These small components, such as pressure switches, flow switches, among others, are responsible for the automation of several other areas and their failure, however small, can compromise not only the functioning of the system itself, but the durability of all other components, generating even security risks to people involved in operating the system.

Lefoo works with the most modern materials and technology in the development of its products. Request the contact of a technical consultant and learn more about Lefoo worldwide technology.
