Thermal Dispersion
& Paddle Type Flow Switch
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Thermal dispersion flow switches measure the When liquid is flowing, there is a temperature
velocity of a liquid inside a pipe or channel. difference between the two sensors. The
The switch’s probe contains two key components temperature difference has an inverse relationship
– a heating sensor and temperature sensor. The with the flow velocity (fast flowing liquids will result
