Flow switch protects pumps from no-flow
damage
The Gentech flow switch can protect a pump from "no load" damage, when no liquid is available.
In circulating cooling water systems for machine controls or chilled fluid in beverages it is crucial that warning of "low flow " or "no flow", will safely shut down the system to limit or prevent any damage The Gentech flow switch can protect a pump from "no load" damage, when no liquid is available

'Easy fit' flow switch reduces fitting time
Without the coupling and sealing components: compression fittings or a threaded connection, all that is required is a simple pushfit to insert the 22mm copper pipe into a flow switch.
Gentech offers continuous output
The new ESS extended liquid level sensor/sender from switching, sensing and control solutions specialists Gentech International is for critical applications requring precise level signalling.
Liquid level sensors tilted to avoid limescale
Horizontal mount liquid level sensors from Gentech International can be mounted at a 45deg angle to eradicate the problem of limescale build up on the sensor hinge and so avoid costly modifications.
Also it will successfully interface within a "burner system" for a central heating boiler, ensuring the ignition circuit will only energize when water is flowing.
Gentech FCS flow switches are individually set to operate at a flow rate matching the application.
The flow rates within the FCS series, available as standard: range from 0.6 to 4 litres per minute.
At the flow switch point a single pole single throw normally open (normally open when no flow) reed switch contact will operate, alternatively some models can have a single pole double throw switch fitted.
The FCS flow switch series will fit either vertically or horizontally in the pipe work and connected via 3/8" BSP or 3/8" NPT pipe threads.
It is also suitable for applications in potable water, carbonated drinks and deionised water as well as a number of other chemicals, with body materials of Noryl and Polyphenylene.
The FCS series complements a comprehensive flow switch family of products within the Gentech range.
The FS series has parts that are suitable for larger pipe sizes: 3/4"BSP, 15mm and 22mm, and in Noryl, Copper and Brass body materials.
