Features

• Better reliability and life expectancy than mechanical flow switches with no paddles or vanes to wear or break, no jams in the paddle movement, and no seals on movement assembly to wear or leak
• Long operation life, as it is not affected by empty pipe by avoiding overheating with heating above the process temperature and then cooling down to process temperature
• Lower system run cost due to low pressure drop with 10% insertion into the flow (e.g. 1/8" for 3/4" schedule 40 pipe)

Approvals

• CE Approval
• RoHS Letter of Compliance

Questions

Question

What flow rate does the TDFS2 work with?

Answer

The TDFS2 can withstand high flow rates and works for setpoint ranges from 0.5 to 10 ft/s (0.15 to 3.0 m/s). As this varies by pipe size, refer to the installation manual for a full flow table by pipe size for exact applicable flow ranges.

Question

Can I use this product for sediment-laden liquids?

Answer

The TDFS2 is designed for homogeneous liquids. However, it has no moving parts and can withstand sediment. As long as the installation instructions are followed and the unit is installed in a chemically compatible fluid, the TDFS2 can be used.
