55FA0531-16-FLT3CS2172

The 55FA0531-16-FLT3CS2172 is a flow switch that is often used in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling (HVAC/R) systems. It is designed to monitor the flow of media in pipelines. This flow switch is used to start and stop pumps or fans when a certain rate of flow is reached. The device is also able to detect a sudden drop in flow rate, which can help to prevent flooding or pipe damage.

The working principle of the 55FA0531-16-FLT3CS2172 is based on a float switch system consisting of two electrodes. The electrodes are located within the switch and surrounded by the media that is being monitored. When the media flow passes between the electrodes, a small electrical signal is produced. An internal circuit then detects this signal and will open or close a contact, depending on the set flow rate. This contact can then be used to operate a pump, fan, valve, alarm, or any other type of actuator.

The 55FA0531-16-FLT3CS2172 is ideal for simple, cost-effective flow control in a wide variety of applications. It can be used to switch loads of up to 16A and can operate in temperatures of -20°C to 70°C. It is reliable and easy to install and can be adjusted without the need for specialist equipment or tools.

The 55FA0531-16-FLT3CS2172 is an excellent choice for monitoring fluids and air to ensure that the system is operating within preconfigured parameters. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial applications such as air conditioning and process cooling systems, as well as in irrigation and fire protection systems.
