Flow controllers (EGE)
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
On the basis of this functional principle EGE manufactures flow monitors for liquid and gaseous media.
Areas of application for flow monitors:
- Monitoring of cooling fluids
- Monitoring of flow medium
- Monitoring of process flow
