Flow meter applications

Cooling Systems

The sensors receive excellent results in water-cooled regulating systems; not only in computer systems, but also in high-graded industrial liquid based cooling systems
The sensor is highly sensitive and immediate in detecting flow-rate differences

Water based Computer Cooling

As one of our customers has put it:

"What is currently missing is a reliable, accurate and affordable flow meter such as the SF800. The SF800 provides very little flow resistance and as such, is an ideal meter to use in a PC cooling system […..] to monitor flow rate and to provide an emergency shutdown (via a 3rd party software program) in the event of pump failure or coolant leak."
And:
"I have read about other people who have bought your flowmeters for this application (Computer Watercooling) and have had nothing but good things to say about them."

"Swissflow flowmeter. This sensor is rated down to -20C and has 1% error. I later compared readings from this unit with my GPI flowmeter and there was a difference of no more than 0.01GPM over the 0.5-1.5GPM range."

"I have a SwissFlow digital flowmeter […] that works outstanding."

"Meanwhile I've stumbled across a low-pressure drop, highly reliable and sensitive flow sensor the Swissflow SF800. It has 3/8" bsp thread mountings also and could easily be screwed in place of the flow switch. […] The flow sensor is fairly cheap."

Industrial / Scientific Cooling Systems

For many years, the SF800 and SF800/6 flow sensors have proven to work perfectly in industrial and scientific cooling systems.

Among our satisfied customers are:

Bystronic: (www.bystronic.com)
application-oriented systems and services for the laser and waterjet cutting, as well as for bending.

CERN: (www.cern.ch)
"The world's largest particle physics laboratory, where the fundamental nature of matter is being researched. CERN exists primarily to provide them with the necessary tools. These are accelerators, which accelerate particles to almost the speed of light and detectors to make the particles visible."
