Description

EGE Air Flow Controllers Automation Flow Sensors are defined by their quick response and reliable function. The applied function principle does not require any moveable parts for the airflow controllers, which is why they are well-suited for use in aggressive environments. Airflow controllers are available for flows from 0.2 m/s to 25 m/s. The function of the flow controller is based on the thermodynamic principle. The sensor is heated internally a few degrees °C compared to the medium into which it projects. When the medium flows, the heat generated in the sensor is conducted away by the medium, i. e. the sensor cools down. The temperature within the sensor is measured and compared to the temperature of the medium. The state of flow can be derived for each medium by the temperature difference attained.

EGE Air Flow Controllers

EGE offers thermodynamic flow controllers without moveable parts, which means they are robust and resistant to soiling. Controllers for fluids such as water, glycol mixtures or chemicals are as much part of the product range as sensors for gases such as air and carbon dioxide. Intrinsically safe sensors based on ATEX for explosive and hazardous areas are also available. Additional variations consist of high-temperature sensors up to 160 °C, special sensors made from such materials as Hastelloy, Monel, titanium, and tantalum with high resistance to chemicals, and programmable flow sensors with digital displays. The flow controllers are either screwed into the side of the pipe or added to the line itself in the form of inline sensors.
